Nice collection! What turntable and audio setup are you using?
I have my dads 80s Onkyo setup that I finally set up fully a month ago.
Wonderful setup. Thanks for sharing!
No problem man.
I love the meat puppets!! Do you have any of their other albums on vinyl? Do the vinyls also have the bonus tracks?
No I don’t have any other albums by the Meat Puppets on vinyl. That album in particular Up On The Sun is an OG pressing from 1985, so it doesn’t have bonus tracks.
That’s awesome, how many records is that? I’ve got about 800, but yours clearly dwarves that! Based on the number of shelves, I’d guess around 2400?
About 2000 albums, plus 200-300 45s, 100 or so CDs, and about 50 78s.
Fantastic. Most of mine is singles (mostly house/techno, very different from yours I would think!) but I do love an LP now and then as well.
like 12 inch singles or 45s? Don’t know of a lot of house or techno singles that are not on 12-inch.
12s, although many of them are at 45rpm anyway.
I do have maybe 50 7"s, mostly just random stuff from charity shops, a Beatles song here, a Dylan song there.
In terms of 45s, I try to collect and punk/post punk/new wave records I can find, and I also try to look for rockabilly, blues, soul, funk, doo wop, and more.
In terms of artists, I’m trying to look for every 60s Rolling Stones records, including the picture sleeves (although the Street Fighting Man sleeve will probably stay out of my collection, as its over $20,000 and I prefer keeping all of my limbs).
Lol! $20,000? That’s crazy.
I’ve just been scrolling through your collection, and thanks again for sharing, it was a real treat to see it all. So much great stuff, plus the odd nice surprise when I found something I have too (great to see Into the Valley by The Skids there!)
Was especially impressed by your collection of James Brown singles, that’s very cool. And I love that you have Radio Free Europe by R.E.M., plus all those early LPs - I have Document, but nothing earlier than that.
Fabulous stuff, really enjoyed seeing such a wonderful collection. Here’s to your next 1000! :-)
It’s $20,000 because the sleeve has pictures of police arresting and stepping over beaten protestors, and was released days before or after the 1968 Democratic convention riots, which made it controversial and therefore was withdrawn. I am probably even lowballing that price, its so rare.
Thank you for liking my collection. I tend to collect all over the place, so there might be some oddball stuff in there.
And thanks for liking the James Brown collection. I try to get every record I can get from him due to the sheer breadth of records he released and to see the development over time of his music.
Wait until you have to move. Friends are rare.
You have a wonderful collection!
Thank you very much. what kind of stuff do you collect, genre wise?
Rock and jazz. I love that you have a well rounded collection. Happy listening!

Nope, no classical. It’s mostly rock music in this collection.

Sick collection! How are they organized? Do you play all new arrivals before they’re filed into the rack?
They are organized alphabetically by first name, and in order of release, even down to the month if multiple releases came out in one year.
I always play new arrivals when I get them. When I bring stuff home, I go on discogs and catalog them in my collection, so i have a day-by-day note of what albums I got, and I play the albums to check condition.
Is your collection public? Would love to browse through it!
no problem, here’s the discogs account:

Amazing, thanks!
No problem.
Man those weather report albums are bangers. You’ve got great taste and a very nice catalog.
Yeah, I’m close to getting every record from them. I’m just missing the Japan-only live album from 1972 and most of the 80s albums.
also thanks for liking the collection. anything else stick out to you?
I haven’t gone through it all yet, but one thing that I generally like is how eclectic your collection is.
My dad was constantly playing Beach Boys. I put on a song once in a while to remind me of him and his horrible singing voice. (Haha)
But I also remember being a kid and seeing Iron Maidens Eddie and thinking how bad ass he was. My uncle was a huge fan and would always spin their music.
Lots of punk… but also not afraid to branch out and appreciate great musicians. I’ve seen a few large collections, but they were kinda just in one lane as if all this other wonderful music didn’t exist.
Yeah, I don’t try to block myself into one singular focus of genre. I mainly go for punk and new wave stuff, but I also like 60s soul, doo wop, 20s-30s country and blues, jazz, Brazilian music and all other types of genres. I’ve been digging for 7 years now and the discoveries I’ve made would have never happened without record collecting (like how else would I learn about New Zealand indie rock without digging through discogs to find out about it?)
