Record Collection

The older I get, the more I appreciate actual vinyl records.  Old fashioned, I know, right!  But that's me!  Michael really got me back into collecting records and I couldn't be more grateful.  It's brought back many memories of listening to records with Mom before I even started kindergarten.  And getting a record of my own for Christmas was a big deal!  Christmas records aside, I'll save that for another blog, the vintage music that I listen to has made it easy to find records at bargain prices.  I can go into a used record store and walk away with 30 records for less than $10.  Truly. I love the thrill of the hunt.  Sometimes I will buy one just because the cover art is fantastic.  And, more often than not, I'm pleasantly surprised with the "new to me" artist I'm listening to for the first time!

I took a break from record buying, mostly, because I have run out of storage space for them.  I cannot exactly put them out in the garage...they'll warp and melt.  So, I decided that I would listen to all of my records before I bought anymore for my collection.  I inventoried them as I went along....it's something I enjoy doing LOL  Well, the grand total came to 408 record albums.....WHEW!!!!  As I inventoried, I noticed that had several artists with multiple records.  Of course, with 408 there are bound to be multiples LOL  Many are just 2 or 3 records but some go a little beyond that, while a few go a lot beyond that!  So, here are the top 11 artists that I have the most records of.  #2 and #1 should surprise no one LOL! And, by the way, my taste in music is pretty much all vintage but it's what I like.  Not sorry about that haha!  Enjoy!
