Thank you. This is such a sweet comment, I appreciate your kind words. Record collecting has become a hobby of mine and I’m sure it’ll be the same for you. I plan to do annual updates of my collection as it grows :) thank you for watching !

I'm always amazed when a woman takes interest in vinyl because many women get discouraged . I started spinning a long time ago, and my partner left my records at someone's house since he was practicing there. I went to get them and they were gone, and I was crushed, barely able to keep from choking him out. That taught me to be self sufficient and continue DJing bunder my own terms. I found a spot in the city where they sold vinyl 4 for a dollar and rebuilt my collection 100 times over. I used to take one of my daughters with me,and then when we got home she would be right next to me as I listened to them. So one day I am playing Average White Band, and she says to me Daddy, that's "pick up the pieces',and I was so proud. So along the way,I now have sommany records and CDs I lost track. I know it's over 20,000+ and maybe this year I will actually go through them again. I ended up getting a system that was ok,and then I found gear that was not too expensive to build a proper system and project studio. One of my friends did some DJ work on Dangerous, and maybe this year I might donate some records I do not use.From what I know, Kanye is pretty out there mentally yet he is a monster with the Ensoniq ASR10 and other studio gear.. Keep digging in them crates. Yeah you are paying a lot for some of those records.Here in NYC, they are a bit easier to find for less, yet I have been to Florida, Philly, Maryland,etc, just getting all the records I can.

I play music around my three kids all the time in hopes they’ll be into vinyl as they grow. Also, kudos on the Section 80 find, that’s the one I’ve been trying to find! Well, unless I can find Overly Dedicated on wax which I’m not sure if it’s ever been pressed.

It's a good idea to place the sleeves with the opening facing up instead of facing out. Yes, it's easier to get the record out, but then there's the risk of what almost happened to Nina Simone 🙂. That said, the collection has grown, with a bit of diversity too. Good stuff.

Oh no, is the Jhené record (the third one) in a outer PVC sleeve? Tougher than shrinkwrap and polyurethane sleeves? They have a chemical that they release that can ruin a record. It reacts with the vinyl and a shiny record ends up dull and the grooves get softened up an pretty much make records unlistenable. I wish record lables would stop using them. It doesn't happen immediately but over time it will.
