How many LP's do you own? How long did it take?

It took close to fifty years to amass over 10,000.
I am now down to about 3,000 and plan to be down to about
500 in the next year. This along with some 1000 cds are more then enough.I am afraid it was more of the hunt then anything eles.I am now cleaning and culling.As they say, you can't take it with you.

I have about 6000, mostly collected in the early 2000s after dumping my early stuff in the 80s and getting out of the hobby for a while. Started back up and went directly to vinyl. 1st 4 or 5000 were used, last 1000 are new or nearly new. I have replaced a number of classic albums with 180g or 45rpm stuff. Yeah, its expensive if I think about it, but spread over years its not too bad, maybe 2 grand a year for the last 10 years.

I would say around 3000; I started in the late 50s and got a lot of them when I lived in Chicago at places like Rose Records. Their top floor was packed with amazing deals; they have been closed for years and I still have some I haven't opened. Also got a lot when the record stores went out of business after CDs came out. I don't really think I would start a vinyl collection unless I lived where I had access to good used record stores. I bought a new LP last week: SALT FOR SALT by BROWN BIRD but I usually just open up one of the 200 or so I have never gotten around to opening. Much cheaper that way.

about 3500 and collected seriously over 20 years. First 20 years of owning vinyl, i had about 300 to 400 of my own purchases from various retail markets. In the late 80's early 90's, it became hard to find new albums and just started buying cd's but soon learned a lot of folks were dumping albums in garage sales. did that gig until early 2000 then started buying from retail 2nd hand vinyl stores, ebay, audiogon and craigslist.

Interesting, about four crates worth, I have not ever bothered to count them. Started in the late 70's and then tailed off buying in the late 90's getting into CD's for new music. Amazing how good so many of my records still sound so well even over my modest turntable which has been around a few decades.
