It our ongoing effort to de-clutter, I am now forced to spend my first Sunday without a metric shit-ton of un-used vinyl in the house. As Pete put it, "Now you can think back to when you were cool." ouch

Et tu, Pete, et tu. :facepalm:

Mr Limey has valiantly devinylised Limey Towers in preparation for our move to smaller quarters. Apparently we will have 10 sq.m. less floorspace ....

Some competing emotions, but I feel good having done it. The precious space is important as well.

I have two stacks of vinyl to go through. A stack from each grandmother.

One liked country music, and liked going to local dances where there was a live band. If that band was hawking their record she bought it and had them sign it. Most are artists/groups I (and the google) have never heard of, signed.

The other loved bluegrass and early (think early years of The Grand Ole Opry) country, Acuff, Little Jimmy Dickens , Louvin Bros, Carter Family (this Grandmadigr played guitar Mother Maybelle-style, called teh Maybelle Scratch, but using all ten fingers w/her left thumb over the top of the neck for the big E) and the like.

Need to go through them, but my turntable is under half a ton of garbage. I don't know whether to throw mine down or bring theirs up.

I have about 400 vinyl records which I am resolutely holding on to. I listen to vinyl most days. When I buy new music I always try to get it on vinyl. I've sold a few records over the years when I've been skint, a painful experience for me. I hope I never have to get rid of them, some of them are like old friends to me.

Spencer asked for and got a record player for christmas. I spent $200 in the record store with a quickness. $15-$25 per album...Zeppelin, hendrix, floyd....plus one $75 collectible White Stripes 3 record set. ironic

Yeah, I got $300 for 1/2 my albums the rest went to the Salvation Army... probably could have hooked Spencer up but what is done is done.

Damn, that's many! :) I have around 120 vinyl records and some people call me crazy :yelsick:

Hehe, keep up the good work! :)

And welcome to the forums as well :)
