My Record List
After we got back from Deloro/Belleville yesterday, and while Vanessa and Annie were asleep and Erika was out practicing her trumpet, I finally sat down to record the titles in my old record collection. I finished the job this morning, as the kids were waking up.
After we got back from Deloro/Belleville yesterday, and while Vanessa and Annie were asleep and Erika was out practicing her trumpet, I finally sat down to record the titles in my old record collection. I finished the job this morning, as the kids were waking up.
It's quite an eclectic assortment: oddball 80s alternative 12" singles, some spoken word, a few stray classical albums thrown in, some old comedy favourites, even the odd kid album or two (which I probably bought for sheer quirkiness rather than anything else, or perhaps for interesting sound snippets for my radio show).
I used to have several times as many records long ago, but many have been replaced with subsequent CDs, or simply discarded those I didn't want to carry around with me from apartment to apartment, house to house over the years. So what's left I really seem to have wanted to keep for one reason for another. There are plenty here I've never seen on CD, at least a few of which are never likely to make it CD format if they have not done so already.
For those interested in lists, here's what I have:
