Missing Consumer Guides
The following records were released in the 1990-1999 timespan of
Christgau's Consumer Guide: Albums of the '90s, but were
not included in the book. In most cases these are reissues or
anthologies of artists whose main work is outside of the scope
of the book. Some artists moved to
Subjects for Further Research. Some were
dropped for negligible interest. And some were reviewed after
the book deadline.
This list is sort of a first pass. Please let us know if you
find any errors or omissions.
