mike-
you weave good tales and -- you're right -- having a story behind all those LPs makes them even more interesting.

the pickins are even more slim for anyone even attempting what you've done -- they are likely to be much less successful in finding that "good stuff" (i use quotes as there is a ton of "good stuff" out there that hasn't (yet) been fetish-ized by collectors) you mentioned.

i've always felt that one aspect of listening to records is wondering about the story behind the album -- meaning whose hands did it pass through, did someone throw this record on the hi-fi in the 1950s to seduce their future spouse, etc.

while we can talk about the sonics and larger-format artwork all we wish, i think that recognizing these items as a part of history (and living history at that, given they are still making the rounds and passing through peoples' hands) is an important added bonus for me.

love your passion for the music and the medium.
