So just how much vinyl do YOU own?

I have well over 25,000 records and there is so much I don't have... I am still making purchases spending hundreds weekly...

One day I will do a 'purge' as there is much I have that is either duplicate or that I don't play.

I don't think there is every 'enough'..I hope I never get to that point!

I've been collecting records since high school. Started out with jazz and rhythm and blues. As the audio disease set in, back in the early '70s, my musical taste expanded and the collection grew. Now, if I were to make a rough estimate, I'd say the collection consists of 7000 LP's and maybe 2000 CDs. 

Since the collecting started back in the middle 1950s and was mostly jazz, I have some fantastic collectible albums. Lots of early mono jazz records that could sell on Ebay for good money.

After the musical taste expanded, I started collecting classical and even good easy-listening music, some of which, are truly great sounding. Demo quality actually. I've recommended a few of them in these forums. 

I'd like to thank all members who have or are currently, donating their CDs to the thrift stores. Its turned into a heyday much as we had with vinyl when CDs first came on the scene. With a high-resolution system, properly recorded CDs can sound fantastic.

I don’t collect LPs. I collect 45s, by far the majority of them are from 1963-1968. I have about 15,000.

I think you are the first to even mention the little 7" varmits!.At least I assume you mean the 7 inch by the dates, could be 12 inch ones as well?

I used to have about 4 boxes of them but it is bad enough getting up to change sides once every 20 minutes never mind every 3 to 5 minutes.


But I do see the used 45 market is very healthy for good collectible ones.

Yes they are all 7"45rpm. US garage punk, British beat & psych, Australian garage and psych, Canadian, Dutch, Swedish, Belgian, Danish, German, Greek, Italian garage, beat, pop, popsike, freakbeat etc. Also R&B, blues, soul, funk etc.
