Hi,
I'm down to about 1500 LP's now and have been replacing them with CD's for the last 5 years or so. I don't have a house I own, and at 62 moving that stuff around is tough and hard and the music helps you, but it doesn;t last long enough to make the albums float to their new place!
I miss the art and how it was ... majestic!
CD's have more music though, and hearing the Caravan Synfonia Live album in its entirety is a lot better than the stuff on the LP, that is not even in the right order according to the CD notes!
As much as I love the art, I like the music better, but I get tired of 10 versions of the same song ... except "Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun" and "Atom Heart Mother" ... (bootlegs only!) and the rest can take a flying jump and leap into the ocean for all I care!

I'll take whatever you don't want to move around .....art and majesty are fully alive in my listening room!

Wow !! Some awesome pics here on this thread. I've never seen a green cover to 'Ride The Lightening' and I didn't know 'Radiation' has a vinyl release. Looks great (and matches the stylus, too). Hope I get an update from Syn Phonic soon.
My vinyl collection numbers well into the 1600's - over 400 from Syn Phonic over the last 8 years. Greg is my prog dealer, and you can't break away from prog dealers coz they'll track you down and make your life misery, oh, hang on, wrong sort of dealer........

I have about 600....Used to have over 1,000 but lost many in several house moves over the years. I keep about 200 in a couple boxes in constant rotation near my system. The rest are on shelves not very near the system...
Actually the cartridge is purple, for some reason looks bright blue in pics.

Syn Phonic is an amazing biz run by Greg Walker - Greg has a lot to do with the Prog-Fests and NEAR-Fests etc. He has a mind-blowing inventory which lists Prog from all over the world - his vinyl selections are incredible. Worth checking out.

I'm down to about 400 pieces (all original pressings) these days....sold about another 400 when cd's came out, but those were mostly mainstream things. I kept all the good classic rock, prog rock, psych, jazz, and classical stuff.
I have maybe 40 or 50 interesting original pieces of vinyl by bands like Gravy Train, Indian Summer, May Blitz, Renaissance (first one) , Mandrake Memorial, and some other obscure things.
