I kept my vinyl collection, but it started getting hard to find LP's, so I jumped on the CD bandwagon. I was in Japan and Korea from 1984 until 1999. The base exchange sold only CD's starting around 1986 or so.
When I got back to the states I started buying vinyl again. I just missed the sound of vinyl and the ritual of playing records.
At the end of my CD buying days, I had around 1500. My vinyl collection consists of around 3000 LP's.
