What is approx. percentage of your total

Moon- in the process of moving, and relocating, my plan is to organize the LPs properly. It is at best controlled chaos right now, i have a general section of jazz and a few of the labels are grouped together, e.g. older EMIs, Lyritas, but I do intend to organize them properly. And to have some sort of catalog in the process. right now they are spread among different rooms, i would like to have them all on one wall, floor to ceiling, with a library rail ladder and lot's of extra space, along with a outward facing bin, like the record stores used to have, at waist height, for access to the ones in current rotation, or to display some of the more interesting cover art.
It will be a fun project in concept and a daunting one in execution. I'd also like a larger area for cleaning- right now, i use a small utility closet off the main room (which also has shelves where a couple thousand records are stored). I'd like to have a nice 'work area' nearby the system, for cleaning, extra tubes, and associated system paraphernalia.

audiofeil..sometimes you can be hilarious.Thank you.

Sometimes I'll close my eyes and run a finger across a shelf of LP's or CD's, and randomly stop. Then I'll play that particular album, and, quite often, say to my self...."....Self, that was great. I forgot I even had that album, and I just really enjoyed it !"

Actually this is an interesting question.

The whole notion of "in rotation" is a bit foreign to me. When I buy new records, I guess you's say they stay in rotation until I have a firm grip on the music, then they go on the walls.

Later I'll get an "enthusiasm" such as listening to a specific composer or a specific artist or conductor and then I'll drag out all of their stuff that I've got in my collection and start playing through until the enthusiasm wears off, or a new one comes. Sometimes the enthusiasm is driven by a recent live performance, or a new acquisition. But frankly, I rarely repeat an LP in a year.

I mean, listening to records 3-4 hours a day, how many records can you really listen to? Let's say I listen 6 days a week, 6 records per day. So that's maybe 1500 or so unique records in a year, since I'm traveling some too. My collection is only 3,000 or so, so I guess I'm listening to about half of it, but I'll bet there's stuff there I have not heard in 10 years or more.

thanks for asking. Fun to think about!
