Thank you!
Just curious, but can you give a guesstimate of the size of your record/CD/MP3 collections?

Rexx - My favorite part of the collection is my 45's, and lately I am starting to collect 45's again to prepare for DJing out. A huge part of my CDs are unplayed or still sealed. I have a large basement full of music, but i have no idea how much is there.

Gyro1966 said...

The reason they are unplayed is because I still buy a lot, but with all my hard drives and all these blogs, who has time to listen to Cd's anymore? (All of my Ace and Bear Family recently are unplayed.)
And that's not to mention Mixcloud and Spotify at work all day long.

@Gyro: re: your music collection --Well, a thumbs up for your vast
collection, whether listened to or not. I'm talking about a rather
overlooked but essential issue: the loss of whole decades-worth of
music (78s, 45s, LPs, and CDs), due to the advent of streaming,
Spotishit, and whatever (young generations have lost completely the
album idea as a work-of-art, i.e. my 20 yr old daughter. And they
have no idea either of the musical canon, in any style at all.)

The point is that if nobody collects music in those mentioned formats,
it's all lost forever. An enormous musical heritage. And there shall
never be another Lomax (due to budget cuts ;) . Forget also about
governments in different countries doing anything worthwhile. Much
music was existing when the appropriate recording technologies appeared,
and even music before that (1923-24) has been sought out and its recent
(20th century) remains have been recorded thoroughly.
Therefore I am deeply grateful to those people like you who collect
stuff (whether it be surf, rock, blues, soul, reggae, country, folk,
jazz, dance, flamenco, African, Asian, Balkan..., all the way up to
classical music).
Same goes for RYP and all the great posters here.

Thus I completely disagree with that unknown Anonymous (11 sept 9:18 PM)
who has made such a comment without disclosing his/her troll-ic identity.

All the best, cheers from Spain...

Fourcade - I have two college daughters, and they stream everything, own nothing.
The program director of the local college radio station is 21 and has an impressive knowledge of cool music from the 60's and 70's. When I met her and asked about her impressive collection, she says she owns zero music and just programs spotify for air play. I stopped listening to her. This is what you are up against.

Gyro1966,

The USA Garage Greats MEGA Compilation you & RYP put together is a joy to behold and listen to. I love compilations of 45, 78, 33 1/3 RPM records and anything obscure and "lost". It is people like you and RYP and the dozens of other record bloggers that keep this music alive and kickin'.

Thank you very much!
