    I'm impressed.

    For sure take out pen and paper and list everything and their condition, along with photos. It will take a few days but well worth it because Im sure you still dont have receipts. These records are hot items amongst the rich old fools of our age that took theiryouth for granted.

    Nice; I've only seen one other collection at a friend's that was larger. As kids we had ALL the Beatles singles and mom made us throw them away in 1970 when we moved...

    I've got some nice stuff too: the original "Some Girls" by the Stones and Zeppelin's Vol 3 that has etched on the record near the label: "do what though wilt". I've got a lot of other cool stuff too.

    Thank you. That must be it. I'll try to look for the grooves next time I buy some records. I figured it was something simple, just didn't know what.

    Thanks!

I had Zep #1 and the Beatles White record, among hundreds of others, and I probably ended up throwing them away or giving them away when Tape came out. Who knew? I cant even remember what I did with them.
    I have every one I ever purchased.
