They started selling almost immediately. So I started buying more albums along with 45's and those started selling.
I realized that I was buying a lot of the music that I had originally bought in the 1960's - 1980's, along with music that my parents listened to when I was a kid. Unfortunately, the advent of cassette tapes sort of made vinyl albums obsolete. I had a huge collection and I threw away all my old records. What the heck was I thinking???? I was sick about it then and I'm even more sick about it now.
I've found lots of great old show tune albums...
Who doesn't love the Beach boys? This album is Fab!
One of the greatest singers in the world...
I was even able to track down my 2 favorite albums of all time...
All of the albums you see pictured here are now in my personal collection. I'm also on the lookout for a vintage record cabinet that I can restore and use to hold my record player and my albums. Something mid century modern. I think that would look very cool.
Then one day we were at an estate sale and Louie found this great old Crosley record player. It's in excellent condition and sounds wonderful. If I hadn't just bought a portable record player I would have kept this one for myself. It's such a beauty. I took it to the antique mall and it kills me to see it sitting there with a price tag. I so want to keep it for myself. If somebody doesn't snatch it up soon it may just make it's way back to my house...
So, what's your all time favorite album?
