Time to weed the LPs.... (choosing stuff to dump)


I am in the process (again, every few years) of weeding the Rock LPs. Going through newer stuff to decide to sell to my fav. record store, or keep.
I do this every few years to thin out the collection gradually. Eight years ago I did a major cull removing 6,000 LPs of 12,000 to move. Over the last six years I have cut that down to 4,500 (and probably buying 500 of those during that time).For all sorts of reasons it is a good project. Get rid of cobweb covered music I have no use for, (and maybe someone else wants) Frees up a small amount of cash to waste on more Stereo junk.The main thing is the collection gets better, more just what I really like.Anyone else clear out the junk now and then?(For the question already forming... and no I will not sell them here. I have bought tons of stuff at my fav. record store, I like them, and sell all my records to them.  LOL)

Yep, I recognized that Air Force check-list as well. Good to be within your company here.  Certainly nothing wrong with a little Death Metal, soothes the senses.   Happy Listening!

I too culled (new word to me ;-) in preparation for the last major move of my life (I hope to God). LP's and CD's either bought or given and never listened to, or music of a sort or by artists I no longer can't live without---my new yardstick. As you get older, and see the end approaching, time is too valuable to waste on less-than-essential music. More Bach, less Rock!

I know the main buyer at Amoeba Music in Hollywood (he was one of my sales reps---for one of the major indie distributors---when I was a buyer at Tower), and he gave me top dollar for the 1500 LP's and 3000 CD's I brought in, 50% of what they sell them for. The discs you buy at Amoeba may have been mine!
