I keep down to around 1500 vinyl, which is manageable in terms of keeping clean and reasonable usage. Two regrets; I gathered all my doubled up albums from buying job lots, sorted the best condition to one pile, got them mixed up and sold the best ones by mistake. Secondly, in a job lot 10 years ago, I got two sequential albums on Spanish tuition, "what do I need these for?' and sold them on - they were the Andy Warhol artwork albums, and worth $10,000 I find out recently.One other thing is that although I treat my CD's as I do my LP's, they crap out and become unplayable for no apparent reason, possibly my CD player is too fussy as they will play in the car - some of my vinyl albums I bought 45 years ago and still play as new.
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)
