So just how much vinyl do YOU own?

Another great discovery day out on the road.

This time a classic car museum that had antique mall attached to it with yep a stall selling vinyl......lol.
And a superb collection for sale as well, mostly in excellent shape and fairly priced, $3 to $8, I had to exercise a  lot of restraint to limit it to $90 worth, could have (and maybe should have!) spent a lot more.

Oh well, now how to tell the better half........

I must have about 3000 records. Never got rid of any since the 1960’s.
i have a couple of hundred that I go back to time and again.  Haven’t listened to the rest in a long time.

Just a quick question then if I may and not meant to be mean spirited at all.

Bearing in mind your statement why do you keep them all if not likely to play the vast majority? If I interpreted your post correctly?
TBH I have sold quite a few that after a couple plays I decided I would never play again, myself I just could not see the point in keeping them.

When contemplating the task of counting my vinyl recordings, I took the easy way out and counted how many records there were in one foot --- [75 average] --- measured my record shelves and did the math. Of course, boxed sets have as much "box" as "vinyl", but I came up with around 12,500 records.  Then -- a good friend passed away and his widow asked me the favor of disposing of his record collection of 3500 or so. Over the years, several friends got rid of their collections and I was obliging enough to take them. One friend taught a Jazz class at a local university, so that was a treasure trove of golden discs !  I recently talked a friend into taking about 1500 LPs by first giving him a turntable !  He's coming back for more !  Then there was the booth at the antique mall where every LP was 25 cents !  Some of my best and favorite albums came from there and were in amazingly good condition after a good cleaning.  
   Having a passion for anything is a good pastime.  Think of how dull things would be without having a passion for something meaningful to yourself !  Don't despair ---- enjoy !!
