Hooked on Vinyl (Again)

[herbc]

After reading this thread, I pulled out a large bundled stack of old albums. They had been bundled and ignored for a few decades. There use to be more, but I don’t know what happened to them. I haven't bought an album since the 70's, nor have I owned a turntable. Just haven’t thought about these albums until today.

I began looking through the stack. The first three albums I'd ever purchased back in 66 were there. I began reminiscing, when, what, where, as I went through them. There were also few in the stack, I didn’t remember owning.

I started cleaning each record, repairing sleeves, and jackets; contemplating purchasing a turntable, and how I would set it all up. My mind then wondered back to my three, or four other active projects. Another project! I don’t think so.

My Albums have been re-bundled nicely, and pushed to the side for another day, or maybe decade.

My brother was a mobile disc jockey in the 1980's (and still is on occasion) and still has all of his records. He must have about 60 milk crates full of albums.

He was an Elton John fan and has every LP album and single 45's along with many bootleg albums.

I use to mainly collect vintage cards and have always collected a bit of vinyl, but over the last several years I've actually stepped back from cards and I collect vinyl primarily. To say I have too many is an understatement, but it's a fun hobby.

I'm active in collecting most genres, but I'm mostly interested in 50s/60s jazz.

I've collected many different things over the years, but I especially enjoy the fact that you're able to actually use (listen to) records rather than just stash them away somewhere as I do with my cards.
