Throw it out!


I just discovered a technique that will save a lot of aggravation.  When I find a record that is not satisfying me sound-wise (or sometimes musically,) I dispose of it or relegate it to the inactive file.  Rather than having it available in my collection to aggravate me, it gives me great satisfaction to get rid of it!

No one mentioned it, but unloading the vinyl onto a resale outlet that’ll take it can result in someone finding something they like even if the quality is poor.

But melting records in the presence of children…

Some teaching license regions must have very light requirements in chemistry / carcinogens 😳

Hoping that recollection above was decades ago, or that the sale was refused.

@bondmanp i started a thread similar to your comment and it got taken down so fast. play the lottery man !

I did that once with the RUSH CD Vapor Trails. I thought there was some great music in the disk, but I could not listen to it since the recording was so badly done. I threw it in the trash. 

A decade later they remastered the album and I have the hi-res of that remaster. It is a great album as I initially suspected.

Please donate it to GoodWill ! (or other Second-hand store)

My husband & I buy vinyl records at Goodwill. We've found great stuff! For like $1-$2 a pop.
