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!

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. 

Looks like you can use the Marie Kondo technique on just about anything.

All the best,

I have known people that apply the same solution to marriages that displease them, but of course that is a considerably more expensive solution than segregating or selling an album....
