"My Yardbirds vinyl collection on Discogs is at 234 now. I never made a concerted effort to tag everything I have, though, plus I have about 15 sealed LPs and I have opened copies of those as well. Additionally, I have dozens of records which aren't listed on Discogs. I do have a handful of early reissues, but the vast majority are original releases from around the world. I sold my first collection in 1996 and started over again about ten years later, focusing more on condition, and I am missing the common U.S. and U.K singles because I only want them in "as new" condition."
Can't you get just about everything they ever recorded via a few CD compilations?

Including multiple mixes of songs, bootlegs of the Little Games sessions, and every goddamn released live performance, bbc session, and commercial, I have 422 tracks. If I pressed them all onto 45s, one song per side, it still wouldn't be 234 VINYLS

I allow myself to be close to a completist on my favorite artist, who has a considerably larger discography than the Yardbirds, and I still only have a few dozen records/CDs.

Have any of them commented on how one of the contestants made a realistic turntable out of cake in the season finale of Is It Cake?
Surely they’ll find issue with them calling it a ‘record player’ and make some joke about it being better than a Crosley.

Let It Bleed reference.
Did you know it was Delia Smith, yes everyone does reference.

I had a buddy who stored his records vertically, with the record weight on the left seam, and it was ok for a couple of weeks until one day when he came home from school and found his mom on the doorstep in a terrible state. Turns out my buddy’s records (stored vertically with the weight of the record on the left seam [not the bottom of the cover] ) had all flopped over and cracked the shelf and this, in turn, had cracked open the mantle of the earth pretty bad too. His front parlour was kind of a mess, molten lava and whatnot, and most of the city he lived in back then was obliterated with a whole lot of people sorta fried. It was a bad scene, let me tell you, so yes, there WILL be issues if you store records (vertically with the weight of the record on the left seam) any other way than the CORRECT way.

That made me belly laugh. It’s the perfect answer to a stupid question.

That just reminded me of one of the weirdest things I've seen someone do with records. I worked with a guy that had a big collection, like 5000 records. I went to his house once and he showed me his records. They were all on the shelf with the open side facing out. That way he could just walk up and slide the record out without taking the cover off the shelf. He knew exactly where every record was. He was a weird guy. He looked like Eddie Munster, but maybe shorter. His collection is probably worth a zillion bucks. It was all hard rock and metal and those metal albums he had are super rare and impossible to find now. He knew what song was on what album, who produced it, you name it. He was a walking encyclopedia about his records and every movie he ever saw.

I donated a lot of my albums to Goodwill years ago. Judge if you want, I kept my Beatles albums. I'm ready to donate a bunch of CDs
