What our records represent

Posted by slapshot (A) on March 14, 2017 at 19:33:13

I've had a few days to reflect on this as I just sold my entire, small collection of records (~250). As I went through them with the buyer (a friend of mine), I realized it was a very eclectic collection indeed. It became clear that he had essentially purchased 20 years of my life (my Japanese phase, my meditative phase, German Folk music phase, my Partridge Family phase, my Jethro Tull phase, my whale song phase, etc.).

These records really are a kind of musical diary of sorts, perhaps much more personal than we realize in our day to day activities.
