How many records do you own?

I sure this has been asked, but our collections grow and change. How many do you have and what kinds of music do you have? Where do you get most of your pressings?

I have around 4000, 1/4 - 1/3 are classical, 1/4 are folk and bluegrass, 1/4 jazz and the rest rock. Would like more Jazz.
I buy most of mine from garage sales and used record stores.
Just now finding out about new pressings and 180-220 gram discs!!!!

Over 4,000 (that's the number at which I stopped counting when packing up the collection for a *big move* last November. (My back still hurts!) That number includes the first LP I bought back in '62. I accumulated LPs, more or less steadily, thru the 70's into the early 80's, when I got "side-tracked" for a few years by seedees. Started collecting again in the late 90's and am still at it!

Approximately 400 - 450. The strange thing is I just purchaced a turntable for my 16 year old daughter. She found a record shop selling used vinyl and is enthusiastic. Probably a short lived phase but I don't want to discourage her.

About 600 Jazz records and holding steady but still buying. I go for quality over quantity. I figure I listen to about 300 - 400 different records a year so much more than that and I would be buying records which would just sit on the shelf for years. I'd rather have the 500 best jazz albums from the 50-60's than just collect for collectings sake.
