How many sealed LP's do you have?


About 40 at last count. I plan on playing them,but when they get here I just can't do do it. Well maybe some day.

I have found around 40 or so also. All have been opened by me to play.
The most common of all are Columbia Classical six eye stereos. Then two eye with black stereo word at bottom. Some were not covered with a platic outer, but the inner Columbia 'baggie' was still sealed.
A few Columbis Jazz of Brubeck too.
I am not much on hold and sell. If I am lucky enough to find it, I play it.
Remember that PLENTY of these so called sealed LPs are just re-sealed copies. I NEVER believe that any LP that is sealed is a genuine original never played sealed LP, until I open it up. (Sometimes key markers such as a $2.99 price tag from some 1960's store like "Treasure Island", or a $2.69 price from a major retailer like "Boston Store" "Macy's" etc is on the LP plastic wrap. Then I am more inclined to believe it is real))
I don't have any either - they get ripped open like a kid in a candy store. I guess collectors would be the ones that keep them unopened.

Rob,
I sure don't consider myself to be a collector. Some times I just think I'll wait for a special time.

I'm working up my nerve to break the cellophane on a sealed copy of Solti's 'Ring'. My present copy is in good shape except for a few tics and pops, so I grabbed the sealed set when it showed up. Just staring at that huge box and noting the four sealed boxes nestled inside is kind of exciting. (If you guys understand that, you're even more nerdly than I!)

I have broken the seal on John Culshaw's 'Ring Resounding', which came with this new set. Read it in a single sitting. It's a wonderful book from a true pioneer in stereo recording and reproduction. Highly recommended, even if you don't like opera it's a worthwhile read. Culshaw's views on home audio reproduction vs. live performance were vastly ahead of their time.
