I have most of those myself. I kept all my vinyl. I have over 1,000. I even have all the Zeppelin albums.

5. I think I was the last holdout to buy CDs..lol |
|
I miss buying those 12" records. I've topped 1,0000 Cds already but I miss getting the full picture. Mine are in those old crates. I have 8 crates and at least another 2 crates worth that are just laying there. I set my turntable up in my upper room, but I have to find a way to suspend it because if you play it and walk, it skips.

6. Roger was gonna do Pros and Cons |
|
while he was still with floyd. He approached his bandmates with the idea and they decided to do the wall instead, which is wild because both albums are very different.

9. I paid $50 for 'Cheap Thrills' |
|
a few years ago. It was a thank-you gift from a PBS station.
Hell of an album, and arguably the best. cover. EVarrr. Particularly if you're an R. Crumb fan.
Still... $50.

For one thing, I never learned how to clean properly other than on a fold-out album cover :smoke:
But seriously, folks, I've still got about 3000 LPs that I play all too seldom-- there isn't enough room in the most active parts of the house to install a turntable. If I want to listen to vinyl (and now that you mention it, I can't think of a better way to spend the evening) I retreat to my "back office." Last weekend I pulled out Alice Cooper's Killer, which just doesn't sound right on CD-- the guitars somehow got digitized all vague and mushy.
That said, I've been promising myself some Zeppelin on CD, so I can skip the ballads whenever I'm in the mood just to headbang.
Re Blue Oyster Cult, Some Enchanted Evening is pretty good, but I like On Your Feet Or On Your Knees much better. I think they're a band that peaked early. Tyranny & Mutation rules!

11. BTW: How to estimate your vinyl collection |
|
If you store it in cubes or on shelves, you usually get about 75 LPs per linear foot, allowing for a reasonable percentage of double LPs or foldout covers. So a thousand records would take up roughly 12-14 feet of shelf space.
If your collection consists of opera, you're gonna have to count them manually. And that goes double for Time/Life box sets.
