How many albums do you recognise/own?

I can identify 45 that I have at first sight. I also realised the Germans were largely missing. A nice and unexpected find is Reise zum Mittelpunkt des Menschen by Stern Meissen though; I grew up in Western Germany but when I was young and the GDR still existed, I took pride in exploring what they had on offer, most of which was and still is largely unknown in the west. On the other hand, I'm not that strong on Italian music and you have pretty much all that I love and much more - except my favourite - Dialoghi del presente by Luciano Cilio.

As far as"heard", probably more since I have some radio shows recorded that include even more than I have in my collection. It would have been a lot more if there was more of the German stuff in there, like TD, Schulze, Can, AD2, Guru Guru, EF solos, CF solos,  and such, for which you would be adding at least 120 albums more easily, and probably one of the most complete "krautrock" collection, up to and including things like Embryo and Agitation Free and derivatives! My tastes and "collection" has always been about the music itself and the stuff I love dearly ... it has never been about the collection at all. Although I have had to replace most LP's because of the weight and me not owning a house. Still have over 1200 LP's left, and many of them are not even on CD or available on mp3 or equivalent. And most of them will never be seen or heard again, is my guess.

I recognze about 95% of these albums, and own about 85% of them. Good collection by the way.

Nice idea to put them in a collage though, and all power to your eclectic prog tastes! Haven't counted my vinyl, cassette, CD or download college for a while, but it has to be several thousand, judging by the amount of unticking I have to do periodically to my iPod Classic. Not all prog though. A lot of classic rock, blues, classical music and jazz too. Think I'd have been a millionaire if I hadn't spent so much on music in the past - but then again I wouldn't have been a happy one!

Most are 67-77 Psychedelic and Progressive rock but also Jazz, Folk, classical, some spoken word and comedy lps. But then ive been buying and selling vinyl for 40 years. Impressive. Do you happen to have any records for sale on discogs or ebay? I'm from the UK too, would be interested in any prog records you have for sale.
