Vinyl Collection

(Last updated: 09.02.15)

… Since brushing the dust off my parents’ old stereo system and turntable, I’ve been making regular stops at a nearby record shop and the thrift stores in town in search of good-sounding, good quality records at bargain prices ... I've tried not to buy anything I don’t already have on CD, cassette or some other medium, but that hasn't always been easy ...
