Mardy Posted January 8, 2019 Report Share Posted January 8, 2019 I got a question for you vinyl heads. Do you organise your collection and if so, how? I don’t like the idea of alphabetical order, but i’m at the stage now where if i want to listen to anything specific, it takes me ages to find it. Currently, it’s sort of vaguely chronological from when i bought it, with the older stuff on shelves and the newer/recently listened to in piles in front of that, but i’m finding it increasingly frustrating. Am i going to have to bite the bullet and do it alphabetically? How do you do yours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wooderson Posted January 8, 2019 Report Share Posted January 8, 2019 Mardy i'm in a similar boat. Know that scene in Spaceballs where the lads are "combing" the desert? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nal Posted January 8, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2019 16 minutes ago, Mardy said: How do you do yours? Ads by Kiosked Broad-ish genres. 6 or 7 genres I think. I got a load of laminate floor "samples" from Homebase that are about 14 inches long and I use them as dividers with the genre written on the exposed couple of inches. Blues, electro, classical, folk, rock, soul and so on. Works fairly well. Nothing I can't find within a minute or two. Think I've a section just for the Beatles and The Stones as I've so many of them. You may need similar for your "earnest singer/songwriter" section!

Gnomicide Posted January 8, 2019 Report Share Posted January 8, 2019 I used to have it in genres then sub genres but I finally caved and went a to z. Desicion then is first name, surname, what do you do if it's a name plus a band? I mean, where do I file Zodiac Mindwarp and The Love Reaction.

Amy Lawn Posted January 9, 2019 Report Share Posted January 9, 2019 Mine are grouped by artist with each artist's work organised chronologically, then artists are organised chronologically by their earliest release I own. It's a wonderful system, when you buy an album earlier than all the others you own for that artist you have to do this big shuffle around. Let's not pretend we're not in this game so we can pick up loads of records and take them on and off the shelves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too much swapping around. 2 intros and 2 songs per side isn't it? Bollocks to that. I've got the Live At Hammersmith 4 LP set, I'm knackered by the time that's over but at least it was only £20.

That's kind of what I figured, 4 x LP seems excessive but sadly seems to be a common thing now to eek out 'special releases' 46 minutes ago, The Nal said: Boring stories of glory days Don't disagree entirely but I do like the versions of the music he performs. I still have record tokens to use and want to buy something a bit more expensive, box set or the like, that I wouldn't necessary pay for normally. The White Album anniversary edition is still out in the lead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mardy Posted March 1, 2019 Report Share Posted March 1, 2019 Not much on there that interests me, but i’ll definitely be after the Prefab Sprout and the Aidan Moffat album. That’s about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have found though, if you support your local record shop all year round, they will happily keep stuff you want to one side and you can swerve the trophy hunters.

Mardy Posted April 13, 2019 Report Share Posted April 13, 2019 I've got everything I want on order, will (hopefully) pick some of it up tomorrow, some of it next time I'm back in the UK, but I popped into one of the shops here at lunchtime and picked up that Lou Reed Album and the SF Nuggets compilation. And got a free RSD tote bag, which kept Mrs Mardy happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
