Haven't played my LP's in 20 years - still good?


Anyone with similar experience? I've got about 600 albums that I haven't played in 20 years. Always took care of them, discwasher brushing and a 'dust toothbrush' with felt pad thingie that rode the grooves while you spun the lp.
I'm thinking of getting back into analog, but wonder if the black beauties are still relativly quiet.
Any input on how these might have held up?

You rascals trying to snooker me outta my collection. - Ever try to get an old hippy to part with his records?
A fools errand, not a chance, too many checkered memories tied up in them. They're postcards from my misspent youth.
Thanx for the hopefull feedback. I had a rule for years that I wouldn't buy a Cd if I owned the LP. Like all my Rules, I bent the heck outta it, but still have about 400 or so that I don't own on CD. Mostly progressive rock, fusion stuff, a few half speed masters. Been having a hankering for some Stanley Clarke fusion stuff, I have most of his lp's. Figure to spend about $1500 on Turntable, phono stage and nittygritty type cleaner. But like all my rules that $1500 might get bent a bit.
Cheers.
