Hi David, I've only just discovered your channel. Enjoyed your answers. It's really interesting to hear other peoples perspectives on record collecting. Cheers Mike

Thanks for the shout out David! Enjoyed hearing your thoughts. I think resellers rely on people like you and me, who have no one to pass our collections on to, where they get it for pennies on the dollar. Cheers and Happy New Year!

Those pesky resellers, walking up and down our streets, checking on our health, etc. 😂

Vinyl can sometimes sound better than cd but rare n few to get the really good mastering n mixing

Thanks for having a crack at this. I really enjoyed your responses. I've actually found it really interesting to hear how people see themselves and their collection. It's made me think a little bit differently about my initial answers too. The completist question seemed to mean different things to different people and interestingly some people really didn't like the idea of being branded as such. Maybe all of those Swifty fanatics have tainted the idea of it 😂 Good point about the size of the collection being important to the people who have to share the space with you. I didn't think of the shipping 😂 Cheers mate....Ben PS Music that continues to surprises is a perfect description of what I look for in music in general

[@davidatkinson-lifematters4826]

Don't go checking-out those shipping rates! 😂🤣

So, in answer to the "theme" question, (i.e. surprise, and demanding concentrated listening) what's left would be Captain Beefheart, Van Morrison "Astral Weeks" and all your Eno ambient music would get chucked in the bin? 😂
Enjoyed your q & a. Cheers from Kansas City & Happy New Year!

[@davidatkinson-lifematters4826]

Even Eno offers surprises, one being when he goes on twice as long as you'd expect and thinks he can get away with it. And he can!

We don't care as much as we get older...as you say, it is what it is.

Landfill😂
My wife would probably do that BEFORE I die given half the chance. All the best for 2024!!

[@davidatkinson-lifematters4826]

I'm in the same boat David. I have to lock the doors to the music room, and sleep with one eye open. Happy New Year!
