    It was time for me to let my LP collection go as it was being stored at my sister's and she needs to sell her house and move on with another phase of her life. I rarely listened to anything anymore and it would cost $1200 per year to store as there is no way that it would fit in my apartment. Somehow I'm going to try and find room for the 900 books on music and photography that I have.

    I am sure that many of them have some special memories for you and it will be difficult to part with them I imagine. Even though you have not had them to hand you will at least have known that they were still yours.

    Can you donate them to somewhere? Maybe you can have a selection transferred to digital format so that you can at least keep the music?

    The digital transfer process has already taken place along with the fact that much of the material has already been converted awhile ago. I'm getting a fair price for them ($2000) and I still have a few thousand CD's to listen to.

    I wish we did too! Shipping close to a ton of material is expensive especially to Canada which is why I didn't even think you'd have an interest.

    Oh... I wouldn't do that to you... but I can just imagine what gems you have in that collection of yours. You have shared a few excellent vinyl only releases with me over the years (the Polydor Rozsa re-recordings are some of my most treasured albums) and it would have been quite an experience raiding your collection to see and hear what else I might be missing.

    Ahhhh, understandable....but what a shame!
    I do so love vinyl, and I still try and pick up records where and when I can (although to be honest I do limit myself to those recordings that hold special meaning to me in one way or another).

    I honestly couldn't see myself completely without vinyl at any point, which is a little strange considering I had no problem at all dropping reel tapes and cassette tapes. smile

    As it is I'm having to build two more bookcases, making 7 total for the CD's. I'll never run out of material to listen to.

  15. Thanks for sharing Erik. A great little film. There must be a Pixar short in there somewhere?

    applause There was something niggling at the back of my brain watching the portrait. Something to do with cinematic history or quality or whatever. The documentary just cried out for a cinema related remark or connection. But I just couldn't put my finger on it.

    Well, he does have an uncanny resemblance to Geri from Pixar's short film, Geri's Game.

  19. Have you thought of posting an FSM thread in the trading subsection, letting people ask for something to see if you have it, and buy it off you?

    If I named a couple titles, would you readily know if you had them (and condition)?

    I don't have the energy anymore to deal with selling vinyl a little at a time, packing them up and mailing them. When your health fails your perspective on life changes.

    I can attest to that.

    Still, I don't think I'll be able to sell my CD's in one bulk.
    I am extremely serious.

    I couldn't sell my CD's either but the LP's have become mostly duplicate material now so the decision was easier. Health is truly important as I'm beginning to find out oh so well.

  24. I forgot about the health issues thread. Sorry.


    I can't recall the name of the other, but one was:

    "Zachariah" (Jimmie Haskell, some songs, too; not issued on CD, LP only)
