About Harb's vinyl collection

The title says it all. Inquiring minds want to know just about what do you have in your Beatles-related vinyl collection. This might be as well a space in which we could all post about what is in our own vinyl collections as well.

I bow before the Master Collector!

I only have the US lps and only some of the 45s. I'm still getting the cds. I am so far behind you ...

------------------
Have you heard the word is Love? It's so fine, it's sunshine. It's the word LOVE."

Well, it only took about 6 years to get to this level, so it won't take THAT long.

I am mesmorized.

I have about 80 CDs, 20 cassettes and only four vinyl LPs... so I can't possibly compete. But I'm in the business only for about four years... so let's see.

Thanks again for your time Harb.

Harb you have the most beatle records thaen anyone I know

------------------
"Oh, and that boy won't be happy till he seen you cry" -This Boy 1964

Very nice list, Harb. I've been collecting onthe Beatles for about 27 years. I've got about 200 lps (thats Beatles and solo)The "rarest" is probably the still sealed, gold vinyl of Reel Music. Rell' and I each won one at Beatlefest many years ago. I've got re-issues mainly. I believe I've got them all on apple, many Japenese and British albums. I've got the blue box set and probably all of the solo releases thru maybe 1990. Of course, 20+ years ago it was alot easier (and cheaper!) to buy vinyl. I've got a number of singles as well, mainly on Apple. I rarely play any of the albums any more - most are probably worn out from over-playing them. I really did wear out a copy of Abbey Road - ran out and got a replacement, much to my family's amusement.

Have you ever thought as to what you might do with your collection someday, Harb? I think mine collection has some value, but don't have plans to sell anything, with the expection of some of the duplicates some day.

Shhhhhhh....we don't talk about that, you know! (in-joke!)

I have a ton of vinyl too, for the same reason as Lynner does - that's all there WAS when we started collecting! I have all the regular U.S. and U.K. album releases by the group and all the solo albums through about 1986 (when I got my first CD player and started buying CD's exclusively). Lots of singles too. Can't play any of them anymore though, as my turntable is broken.



------------------
I go back so far, I'm in front of me...

Time to invest in a new one, eh? I've got two working turn-tables here, bring some records over on the 23rd!


------------------

I've been photographing all my collection today. The pics can be found at http://members.fortunecity.co.uk/pau...ollection.html . There's some stuff here that I didn't mention in the above lists.

I haven't got round to doing the solo singles yet. I will be doing them tomorrow. The only stuff I won't be photographing are reissues and albums I got more than one of.

I will be noting what each piece of vinyl is tomorrow. Right now I gotta go to bed.
