rjw63 Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 This could take a while. Have been lucky to acquire the equivalent of a car "barn find". late brother-in law's wife has given us all his albums that have sat in a cupboard since he passed in 2007. I thought there might be a couple of hundred but the first two bagfuls are done and we are almost at 150, probably gonna be 3-400. Some thing for everyone so far, Bowie, Pink Floyd, Led Zep, rainbow, some Motown and Stax, lots of prog, tangerine dream and Amon duul, Jethro Tull, Stranglers, Cat Stevens , Beach Boys, Rush, Hawkwind, Motorhead. I'll get back when I'm finished! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjw63 Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 OK so out of a total 0f 289 discs: 39 I already have (will check to see which are in best condition) then step daughter gets first dibs. About 60 I don't want, not my genre, step daughter will be having a lot of these and if she doesnt want em I'll put em on ebay. About 25 12" singles, nearly all 80's cack. Going. Five Beatles LPs, have cleaned three old ones for play testing and possible sale. "It;s A Hard days Night" seems to gor for twenty quid in seriuosly crap condition. Defo keeping the Tangerine dream, Motorhead, UFO, Amon Duul, Stranglers, Kraftwerk, Rush, Deep Purple , Ozzy/Randy Rhoads, Family, Focus, Hawkwind, the two Neil Young that I haven't already got, Pink Floyd, Van der Graaf, King Crimson. My brother in law was quite a collector, travelled the world after leaving RAF, lived in a kibbutz somewhere, lived in that commune in Scotland, had a childrens book published, worked as a trans-euro lorry driver, and started building a house in France before getting a brain tumour in 2006. Thanks for the music Gary. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were definitely some ropey re-presses of it in the 80s 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put it through the spincleaner and it's all good now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
