yes, it's a bit like meeting some old friends - Shearing, Knopfler, Karajan, Kirkby, all sounding as good as they ever did.

All went unceremoniously into the skip bin. When I said he could have sold them to collectors etc, his reply was that no one cared therse days - there are CD's nowadays. The old PYE turntable and 3 foot genuine wood speakers went into the same skip.
Some people just do not get the collector mentality. My wife, unfortunately, is one of those, although she does collect money VERY well (bless her! I tend to spend it all otherwise!)

don't despair totally Lewis, there are huge numbers of records available on the second hand market. I am also a collector at heart - a lot of effort went into some of the old records and they can still bring a lot of pleasure, even though some of the artists may no longer be with us (Gigli springs to mind) - I am all for that sort of immortality.
