Vinyl Collection Mk2

Having disposed of a collection of several hundred albums and boxes of singles, I started again in 2022, aiming to have a much smaller but more selective collection of vinyl, possibly limited to no more than 50 albums, and I don’t intend to re-buy anything that I used to have on vinyl or already have on CD – though I might make an exception if I ever see a copy of the 4-track 12″ single of Paul Hardcastle remixes of Ian Dury & the Blockheads tracks – but it does prevent me from re-buying some of my favourite albums like Live & Dangerous, Close to the Edge and A Trick of the Tail.
