Just sold almost my entire vinyl album collection — much dating to the period 1970-1990 — to a local secondhand music shop. This follows the project to give my CD and DVD collection, plus a ton of hardback books to the local Oxfam. Next up: Old clothes that no longer fit and I’ll never wear again. Yet STILL I don’t feel like I’ve made a noticeable dent in the clutter.
The owner was very pleased with how I’d looked after my vinyl. There were only a couple of scratches on heavily played albums. Back then I was obsessive about cleaning albums and never let anyone else lower the stylus or get boisterous near the turntable, so it seems my care paid off. Those worst damage was on a copy of Let It Be that I’d left in the prefects room at school, so don’t take your music to school 😀
