Good idea hambone! I only have around 15 albums to my name - couple of Grand Funk, The Wall, Doobie Bros., A couple Neil's, AllmannBros., Stones, Steely Dan and three really cool, obscure Henrix.
Worth getting one, without a doubt.

There's this cat we met over in South Bend. We went back to his place after partying at the bars, for a little smoke session. This dude had 1,000's of albums! Mint condition. Jazz, blues, motown, you name it. We sat there until 5a.m. checking out his stuff!
I've never seen anything like it.

I met a guy once in Chicago like that, huge metal racks filling a room in an old storefront in a post-apocalyptic neighborhood. Met him when he was selling records at Maxwell St, he tells me he has many more records for sale and to come on by. So I did...spent hours goin thru random boxes of records, he kept playin crazy tunes while I dug thru em'..Then I get ready to pay up, and he KEEPS most of them "no. too cool. didn't know that was in there. not this one" guy was a nut.
Also lots of cool records on Ebay but somewhat of a hassle unless it's something you really dig. I got a lot of early Bob Dylan off Ebay.
But hit the thrift stores! No telling what you'll find and it's fun.

WFH today, listening to Moody Blues. then over to some Nora Jones. 12 day work week at an end, need to chill.
Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue, I’ve topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace. Where never lark, or even eagle flew. And, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod, The high untrespassed sanctity of space, Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

Most of my collection is from thrift stores, used record stores, and cut out bins. Sometimes I find some real gems amongst the junk, just takes a lot of looking. I like the stores where I can listen first.
Jeez Hambone, that guy wanted you to look, but couldn't part with anything.
I have a pottery customer who was formerly head of sales at Warner Bros records. That guy has to take the cake for the largest private CD & record collection I have ever seen, lining every wall to the ceiling on both floors of his house. He tells me glumly it used to be larger. His ex wife took half of it in the divorce. I somehow ended up on his mailing list and received a Christmas compilation, wacky stuff, every year until he lost his job... too old, they wanted young guys to take his place. He can't afford to buy any more pottery now.

There was a guy in our neighborhood that was a promoter so he always had records to give away. He had one he didn't want to promote to the radio stations so he gave it to a friend of mine. It was Alice Cooper, Pretties For You Demo Version. His exact words were "This guy's never going anywhere" I don't think he lasted too long in that job.
