I can relate. My collection consists of thousands of LPs that I have been collecting since high school. There are tons of them that I purchased at thrift stores and garage sales for almost nothing. The ones with the good music on them, even though they aren't in pristine condition by any means, are staying in the collection.
Take the old Jazztone Society records for instance. I love those. I mean, where can you get original stuff by Chu Berry, Lester Young, and Jackie and Roy these days without spending a fortune?
You're right ... it is all about the music.
