Do you have less than 150 records/discs/files?

I've told the story before, but when I worked part time at a hi-fi store in college, we had one customer we called "Al Gear" which was very close to his real name.

Al ended up alternately buying and selling a couple of pair of MG-IIs and DQ-10s from us before settling down with his third pair of the latter. One day, he invited the guys at the shop over to hear his system and I went along. Nice room, Audio Research electronics and - about four inches of albums. Many of which were Sheffield or Crystal Clear DTD.
