I'm just focusing on my hands-down favorite albums, plus a select exploration of new ones (mostly jazz). If I surpass 500 albums within a few years, I'll have abandoned my original intentions. Still fine with digital for a lot of stuff. And 500 records is only a few shelves.

Just about 1 ikea kalax!

I originally started off by just wanting my favorite albums.....570 later....

I've got a guy doing a custom maple console for us out of Missoula. It's even got a little drop-in slot on the top so I can display my current rotation.

How many will it fit?

This was always kinda annoying in my early 20's. Also countless house parties led to a lot of scratched discs, beer-spilled inserts, and the occasional album going MIA. The sanctity of my collection had been fouled and I decided to cut and run.

You'll hit 500 just like the rest of us idiots

Maybe I should have been spinning Black Messiah today...... Instead I went with MTV Unplugged: Summer Solstice a-ha and Crossroads - Bon Jovi

Ello Sailor · Post by **Ello Sailor** » Tue July 27, 2021 2:53 am

Bon Jovi. That's a tough one, Rangi.

I really like Slippery When Wet in my pre-teen years, and to some degree New Jersey. Could never justify buying one of thier studio albums, but The Best Of works quite well
