idlehero Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 I find myself asking this question sometimes. Is there a such thing as to much? I have been collecting for a long time, and sometimes I wonder if I should just sell half of my collection or something, because honestly I can't possibly listen to all this stuff I have. You guys ever feel like this? I just feel like I can't help myself...I love buying records! hah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kissthesharks Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 Hey, welcome to the board. Sometimes I feel this way, but more than often I feel I don't have enough! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamlikesmusic Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 Can never have too many. Though I suppose if it affected your health, or something like that, it'd be time to cut down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idlehero Posted September 6, 2009 Author Share Posted September 6, 2009 Thanks for the welcome. I see we are not far from each other. My dad was born i Amarillo. You ever seen the "Vinyl" documentary? I feel like that guy sometimes. I even lusted after a copy of "Satan is Real" and got one. What's next?

Guest kissthesharks Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 Also, if you feel as if it's cutting into your wallet, you can always sell stuff you can spare with in order to buy more. I had to do that. I haven't seen that documentary. Link? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest kissthesharks Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 I love your country collection btw. I have a few johnny cash records. I have a big country collection I inherited from my grandma (buck owens, patsy cline, etc) that I haven't listed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkticon Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 my dad has probably surpassed the 20,000 mark by now. His house is absolutely ridiculous. Dude has never cataloged them all. Helloooooo inheritance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Another Tom Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 I don't think you can have too much, unless its 50+ copies of one album. They way i see it its kind of like documenting your life and tastes through music, and i would hate to sell/trade a record that in a years time or ten years time or whenever i really want to here a song that i can't because i no longer have the record.

monk0nuggets Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 I don't think you can have too much either. A goal of mine is to have a personal music library in my home when I'm older. Thanks for that doc link! Pretty interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonbeams Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 this is a personal question. for me personally, I would say that if I got to 40 it would be too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
actiontownrecords Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 For me there is a limit for sure. When I own albums that I don't even enjoy and will never listen to, it's time to slim down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats right 49 and under and your in the clear of "too much". lol I would go with you haven't got enough records unless your house is full and you can't physically get in it. with regards to the number of copies of one album, I think the most I have ever got to is 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murakami Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 over time, i dont think you can have too many - but in the short run, i feel its possible to be buying too many too fast. once you start buying so many that they go straight to the shelf and are forgotten about, i feel you've reached that limit.

xjustinxschwierx Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 over time, i dont think you can have too many - but in the short run, i feel its possible to be buying too many too fast. once you start buying so many that they go straight to the shelf and are forgotten about, i feel you've reached that limit. this is true as I definitely have a back log of stuff I haven't listened to yet...but I keep all the random records because every now and then I want to listen to a Men at Work album or a the Vindictives Leave Home album, etc... my back log is only because I'm too busy to listen to everything...I'll get to them all eventually...just sometimes new purchases take priority and that all stacks up and stacks up and the next thing you know you have 40 LPs that you need to listen to eventually. Shit Happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Hundred Fifty-Two Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 Never too many...unless you don't have the room or need the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
