RE: So why do we collect records, anyway?

I've been collecting and listening to records since the late 1960s. For many reasons: primarily the music, music unavailable on other formats, album cover artwork, archiving & preserving rare recordings, the thrill of the hunt and so on. I also produce radio shows. I have approximately 30,000 records but I'm constantly culling or acquiring more, so it's tough to put a number on it.

My studio is a converted 600 square foot garage and I have a 1,500 square foot shop building, so space is not an issue. Time spent cleaning, filing, and listening to records is the bigger concern. If I acquired many more, it would be less a fun hobby and more of a burden. As it is, the collection is a real joy. It's very well organized, with everything instantly accessible.
