In Reply to: Opinions Requested on How To Rework A Vinyl Collection posted by Mister Pig on March 5, 2023 at 09:10:42:
I would like to have a collection, but what I have is more of an assemblage . The one unifying thread among all my records is that somewhere amongst the tracks is a song I would like to learn to play. Once I go into the long good buy , the purpose evaporates, and it is just a lot of obsolete format random vinyl, some better than others.
Collections, to my understanding, have a theme and are organized in support of that reason for the collection. I suppose there are published guides.
the rest of this is not relevant .
My only real experience with collections are public museums , where quality and taste define the curation, which seems to inescapably incorporate rareness.
One bad example is Hurst castle, where he sent buyers out and secured a lot of rare and expensive stuff, but assembled without taste, it is just piles of old rare stuff, good for the curiosity .
I contrast that with the endeavors of another cost is no object collector, who also did the collecting in his lifetime , Huntington, of the Huntington library and museum. He also has fine objects, but collected with design, with scholars and researchers still utilizing his collection .
His taste is exemplified when one visits the grounds, he has quite a mansion and grounds, in addition to the library, and used to own, all the land between his house and Huntington Beach. But he didn't build a castle on a hill and stock it with wild animals. Huntington went with gardens and exotic plants.
