I have around 500 vinyl LP’s. I would have at least another 200 if not for a flood about 25 years ago. The flood carried off the vinyl records I collected during my youth in the late 1960’s and early 1970’s. Most of those records were in great shape so that was a tough loss. Around 200 of the LP’s were gifted to me when everyone else was switching to digital. I was the sole analog holdout amongst my friends and acquaintances. Many of the LP’s from friends are not in the best of shape and I’ve spent a good deal of time cleaning them. Very few of my LP’s, maybe only about 15, are reissued recordings pressed within the last 10 years.
I would say that about 50 of the LP’s get 75% of the play on my turntable. I listen to a lot of jazz and classical on FM and stream some music. When I play my LP’s I really want to listen, so I wind up playing recordings that give me a great deal of pleasure.
