I have been culling my album collection for the last couple of years trying to weed out and play grade 2200 albums with a goal of 1200 to 1500. WTS I have been pleasantly surprised that that is not going to be possible, new goal is 1800. With the attention to the current stash of LPs my new purchases of 100 LPs a year has shrunk to probably 25 this year and those 25 are absolute gems. Enjoy the music

@billstevenson Every estate sale I go to has at best, a tattered copy of Frampton Comes Alive!
I estimate approximately 8,000 lps from an estate.
@mark200mph Every estate sale I go to has at best a set of cheap wrenches and bad art in junk frames.
I went to an estate sell and it turned out he was a retired record executive

How many “new” LP’s did l pick up in 2025?
Not as many (for sure) as l picked up in 1975
|
I've purchased 125 LPs in 2025. Yep, I'm a buyer! I need to slow down. All but one was purchased used and all but a few VG+ after cleaning. Several are still in my queue to play for the first time. A few are for my wife.
