iron666monkey Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 A few years ago I had just moved into a new neighborhood and struck up a conversation at a local bar with this dude and his girlfriend. They seemed cool so I invited them over for a bit to chill. At one point dude got up and started pulling records off my shelves acting like he owned the place. I quickly told him he had 2 options: (1) Quit going through my records and simmer down or (2) Walk out the same door he walked in. Gotta respect the vinyl yo. paynegretzky 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fitterhappier Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 I'm curious to see how many people here actually divide their collection by genre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
castaway Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 I'm curious to know how anal everyone here is about visitors looking at their records. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astrangerwithcandy Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 I'm curious to know how anal everyone here is about visitors looking at their records. Mine are organized by artist and I'm not really anal at all but I will make sure they handle em properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noalarmplanet Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 When you own enough records people seem to fear touching them and I like that. This scene made me happy. I can't believe I have never seen this film. I organize by Genre only. I think I should start alphabetizing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuffsux00 Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 I'm curious to know how anal everyone here is about visitors looking at their records. fortunately/unfortunately for me, most people that visit my place don't really have an appreciation for records. i really would be happy if they wanted to take a look so i can geek out over them for once, but i would hate it if they just started pulling things off the shelves, willy-nilly. i keep mine organized starting with my favorite band and then fall down the line, but each band section has the releases in chronological order (original street date, not vinyl release date). seems to be working fine for me so far since i only have 200 or so pieces. codeine and passionbrand 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rooks Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Handed my girlfriend a prized record of mine the day I got it to take a look at the cover art and she took it by the bottom left corner between her thumb and index finger with the whole rest of the sleeve sort of bending and I freaked out. She's much more careful now haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paynegretzky Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 With all the money that I'm sure most of us put in to collection, you'd hope guests would appreciate your belongings. Most of my friends come over and leave my collection looking like a disaster zone. Also, one of my friends, who also collects records, insists on touching the record itself while switching, and he switches after like one song everytime. I have about 20 records with finger prints just from last weekend. I finally asked him to just leave the record on and let me do the switching.

I'm sure we'd all love to hear about how to properly hold records from him. Whenever my friends stop by, they usually just look at the titles on the spines, and if they see one they want to see or put on, almost all of them ask me to do it, unless they know how to do it right. It's actually kind of weird, but I'm not complaining at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My friends that collect aren't as proper with their records... the same dudes that leave it looking like a mess are the dudes leave theirs out on the table, not even in their sleeves, at parties. (EWWWW shit). My non-record collection friends are more respectful. Anyways. You seem to have solid friends, Sirnonsense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 A simple solution to the issue of friends mishandling records is to not have friends. Any true, dyed-in-the-wool record collector knows that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slinch Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 I'm curious to see how many people here actually divide their collection by genre I currently have 5 shelves: 1. gatefolds, 2xLPs, 3xLPs, boxsets (sorted alphabetically, apart from boxstes, which are on far right) 2. single LPs (sorted alphabetically by band, chronologically by album) 3. larger artist collections and soundtracks (first collections, then OSTs, all alphabetically) 4. old beat up records (sorted by last listened from left to right) 5. 7"s (sorted from favourite to least favourite artist, right to left) I'm curious to know how anal everyone here is about visitors looking at their records. I don't think I've ever had anyone over that would even care enough to ask about records, let alone look through them. People are weird. codeine 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
