    Fantastic. Most of mine is singles (mostly house/techno, very different from yours I would think!) but I do love an LP now and then as well.

      like 12 inch singles or 45s? Don’t know of a lot of house or techno singles that are not on 12-inch.

        12s, although many of them are at 45rpm anyway.

        I do have maybe 50 7"s, mostly just random stuff from charity shops, a Beatles song here, a Dylan song there.

          In terms of 45s, I try to collect and punk/post punk/new wave records I can find, and I also try to look for rockabilly, blues, soul, funk, doo wop, and more.

          In terms of artists, I’m trying to look for every 60s Rolling Stones records, including the picture sleeves (although the Street Fighting Man sleeve will probably stay out of my collection, as its over $20,000 and I prefer keeping all of my limbs).

            Lol! $20,000? That’s crazy.

            I’ve just been scrolling through your collection, and thanks again for sharing, it was a real treat to see it all. So much great stuff, plus the odd nice surprise when I found something I have too (great to see Into the Valley by The Skids there!)

            Was especially impressed by your collection of James Brown singles, that’s very cool. And I love that you have Radio Free Europe by R.E.M., plus all those early LPs - I have Document, but nothing earlier than that.

            Fabulous stuff, really enjoyed seeing such a wonderful collection. Here’s to your next 1000! :-)

              It’s $20,000 because the sleeve has pictures of police arresting and stepping over beaten protestors, and was released days before or after the 1968 Democratic convention riots, which made it controversial and therefore was withdrawn. I am probably even lowballing that price, its so rare.

              Thank you for liking my collection. I tend to collect all over the place, so there might be some oddball stuff in there.

              And thanks for liking the James Brown collection. I try to get every record I can get from him due to the sheer breadth of records he released and to see the development over time of his music.
