2021 Headliners

[sirjonnyp]

Very late to the record organisation chat, but this is how I did mine while I had them (currently they are waiting to be shipped to Aus).

• Pop and rock, bandname/surname A to Z, then chronological
• Pop and rock compilations / various artists, sorted by label then chronological
• Classical, composer surname A to Z 
• Jazz, bandname/surname A to Z then chronological
• Funk, soul and motown, broken down into:
  • Motown, bandname/surname A to Z then chronological
  • Motown compilations by chronology (although I put all of the Motown chartbusters in sequence)
  • Funk and soul artists, by bandname/surname A to Z then chronological
  • Funk and soul compilations, by label then chronological (Northern soul compilations had their own mini-section within this)
• Soundtrack by name of film
• Other - a few records that didn't seem to fit anywhere, can't for the life of me remember what they were now but I think there was an easy listening compilation. 

I stopped buying so many when the vinyl revival kicked off and the second hand market went crazy, but I had enough to breakdown by genre. I could probably have eeked out a dance section, although admittedly it would almost entirely be 90s dance and where do you draw the line with some artists (Portishead, Prodigy). I swear I'm missing a category, but having not seen them for over a year I can't think of it. The order of the genres was entirely determined by where there the right amount of space on the shelves. 

I miss my records

Do you know when this is available to purchase?

[henry bear]

Talking of which, bought the new Uncut yesterday. Interview with Macca; I haven’t read it in full but couldn’t see the one question that everyone here wants to know. Wasted opportunity.

Did you actually die in 1966?

Consider my appetite whet.

My record collection is perfectly organised. I recognised how obsessive this was and so for a while just allowed it to go random, but ended up wasting so much time hunting out records I wanted to listen to that it became annoying, so since then have been back to a proper order.

• Rock/Pop/Soul/Metal etc by Artist, then chronology
• Jazz, by Artist then chronology
• Compilations. A bit random, but all Nows and Hits grouped together.
• Soundtracks, by title of film (although this is problematic when you have a soundtrack by one popular artist - eg. does Blade Runner go in soundtracks or with the other Vangelis, is Last Christmas a soundtrack album or a George Michael compilation).
• Box sets
• 12" singles
• 7" singles

And yes, the 2nd hand market has gone big recently. I used to do so well at charity shops (a near mint Quadrophenia for £4. Both GNR illusions for £4 each. 3 classic Prince LPs for £1 each). those were the days.

The only problem with this is (apart from Shake It Off being G Major)...it does look rather "how good that would have been" rather than "hehehe who knows maybe we'll get a chance soon"

Aye

Narrator: It's not in C.

Pandemic saving Paul some embarrassment there.

[dentalplan]

His friends would have all stood up and walked out on him. Devastating for the lad.

[Gnomicide]

Shake It Off? At least the pandemic saved us from that.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Macca is famously adverse to Shake-related music

Just when you thought 2020 was turning around, it kicks us in the bollocks once again!

[Gilgamesh69]

What song would he have played if Kenny joined him tho?

[CaledonianGonzo]

You Never Give Me Your Money Trees

Would have been awful.

[dentalplan]

Swift and McCartney doing Fuh You would have been one for the ages.

[dentalplan]

Fuh You was essentially this but irl

 

[Gnomicide]

Swift/Macca doing Shake It Off a few tears back.
