Interesting, no 78rpms. The first records I ever bought were 78s (Al Jolson and Maurice Chevalier) from a man on the other side of the lake. I was in grade school at the time. My buddy and I rode our bikes to his estate sale. I can still remember riding my bike back home, wind in my hair, with one hand and carrying them in the other at my side. I had found a buried treasure.
Like an old friend, I got away from them after a while, but in my later years, I found them again and since have found many more. Strangely, just sitting next to them brings me comfort.
Congratulations on not losing count of all of those LPs Tosh. I think I would be quite challenged to do the same only because I seem to have records stashed in different areas of the house and I might not remember where they all are. I find it interesting that you sometimes go for days without listening. I too am the same and for quite some time now, I've been letting go of certain pieces in my collection that I don't listen to often enough to justify owning. At some point someone will have to dispense with all of these great items and I don't want it to be too much of a task. Thank you for sharing your thoughts; they are much appreciated.
Joey, I know your first-rate collection. Very impressive! For years now, I have been using Discogs to keep track of music. For me, it is an effective method for counting my various music mediums.
Ah yes, Discogs! I have yet to delve into the cataloguing of my collection via Discogs, but it's something to consider. These day I have to consider how I am utilising my time so it's currently not in the cards for me . Also, I have a more limited about of space available now where I live so I have to be more careful in what I am acquiring and can I justify storing it.

I recently received 5 or 6, 78 rpm in excellent condition. I don't have the machine to play them, but the packaging is beautiful.
Nice. Then they will remain silent, but bring comfort. May I ask what genre? I'm thinking Central Avenue LA jazz.
All jazz. Art Tatum, Brazilian music, trad jazz, and one exotica- Music Out of the Moon

Oh yes, I have those issues as well.
I think you are the map.
