How many pieces of vinyl do you own??

About 1,000

Okay so I had the help of a friend tonight. We counted 10 crates and a few produce boxes full of records.

Earlier I posted…
81,791-12”s
230-10”s
877-7”s

82,898 = @ Home so far

@ work we counted…

2,203-12”s
102-10”s
219-7”s

Grand total is 85,422 records.

Wow.....Yeah, I'm just at about 650 or so.

yeah you should, except they won't fit in that vw bug you got
then again with that good gas mileage you could probably make a few trips up north.

oh yeah I got about 2500 - 3000, looking to add a zero on that in the future.

Shit, Devmode. Are you **** kidding me or what haha? Damn...

I got about 500 records I think.

Daaaaamn devmode? More like beast mode!!!

That's madness, do you have a record shop or something?

I couldnt even imagine what 80k+ records would look like....I always though e.d.e had the biggest archive of records, but damn you may just give him a run for his money...either way both of you have beastly collections...

maybe one day...maybe one day...lol

I started using my lunch money and allowance to buy vinyl in the early 80's. It’s evolved into an obsessive compulsive disorder. Haha. I don’t save money ever. If I travel for work, whatever money I get goes towards records usually. I mean I would much rather buy records than pay rent….but then I’d have no where to store them.

Naw but on the real though, I have 12 aunts and uncles who all had vinyl collections. I was able to get their collections, my dads collection was pretty big itself, as well as some of my moms closest friends…going to garage sales most Sundays added at least 5k to my collection alone, and I generally drop 200 whenever I go diggin...I mean unless I don’t have time to dig.

I’ve got friends who had records stores too that they closed down (digital music killed them and all you fu*king pirating bastards haha). They used to just tell me to grab as much as I could carry.

Last I dig every other day. I mean it’s not ALL I do, I just love collecting them. I gotta eat too.

Girlfriend sweats me too but that’s nothing I can’t handle. Records came before she did.

I live simply (means small house in a not so great area), and I play hard (buying whatever the he11 I want).

DITTO man....., i'm the same way but, i started in 76 collecting records when my pops gave me my first am/fm /8traclktape/ turntable combo and he gave me an audio tape recorder to record to.

damn we gt bit by the same bug cause i have gone weeks without eating
and times that i had to scrouge up money to pay rent.

i feel you on the having to pay rent though cause yeah where the hell else would i keep my collection besides storage and since i moved into a house i'll try to keep them out of storage.

I've still got my Kenwood KD-1033 with the brush at the tip of the stylus so it cleans the record as it plays!

Hey it happens! Feed your addiction not yourself!

I am in the process of making this shithole house look nice. I am making custom oak record cabinets so I can store them and they won't fall all over the place if there's an earthquake.

DON'T!

haha glad to know there's someone else on these boards with a huge collection and the same disease i suffer from.

I think most of us in this particular section have got that disease, just some of us aint as 'addicted' as you 2



Only been properly collecting for about 10 years or so meself, but I've been pretty lucky since the early days with the flea market I used to frequent (going back next week), some dude had mad soul and funk albums( Funkadelic, Bootsy Isaac 'Black Moses' etc.) and I've not really looked back since.

Sure I've bought some crap over the years(pre portable days) butwho hasn't?





Peace

i'm a little under 1000

1/3 of my collection is all 90's rap ish, the other 2/3 is dedicated to all the older records..

trying to slim my colleciton down, filter out the records that i know im not going ot listen to..

about 2000+ here at my new apartment, and another 1000+ at my aunt's house mostly Jazz, Soul and Blues

i'd estimate 100 at most.

About 1000 maybe? Still diggin on the regular though.

500 million......i just aint bought em yet, WORD
