Collectors zone

An important part of the original Ticket To Ride fanzine was the 'Collectors' section, a place where Ride fans could keep up to date with the band's releases from around the globe, as well as finding out about their appearances on compilations, radio and television sessions, etc etc.

This section is a continuation of the original fanzine's good work, with a twenty first century slant! Since the band split, the collectability of pieces of Ride 'memorabilia' has steadily risen and, as a result, some items now change hands for steep prices (particularly with the advent of online auction houses such as ebay). In the Ticket To Ride collector's zone, you can find out what's out there, and what you need to complete your collection. In these pages, you'll find an extensive discography (including release variants, bootleg releases, imports, promos, demos etc), a Ride sessionography with details of the band's studio and radio/TV sessions, and a complete gig list, with setlists for every Ride show, from their debut in 1988 to their final appearance as a live band in summer 1995. Furthermore, the concert listings also include details of recorded or 'bootleged' shows, helping you to find out whether or not a particular show was recorded and, if so, on what format that show is being circulated in trading circles.

In short, the TTR Collector's Zone attempts to bring together any information which may be of interest to the hardened Ride collector, compiled by fans for fans. With this in mind, we will be the first to admit that these pages are not definitive: should you have any contributions, corrections or additional information, please contact us.

Enjoy!
