    No way! My songs are my friends. And I think that attitude makes me a better DJ. I can see paring down a digital collection to a manageable amount, but I think a DJ’s music collection should be indispensable to his/her life.

    When I moved to Hong Kong from the US, the hardest decision I had to make was about my 13 boxes of vinyl records. My furniture and equipment? Get me an ax. My records? My heart broke. I saved 3 boxes with the best artwork in the end.

    Not all okay tracks, but some “friends” you don’t very often but you’re glad to visit them occasionally when you do.

    Yeah, I have some amazing 80s records designed by Peter Saville & Neville Brody, Gatefold sleeves, Picture Discs, Marbled Vinyl, even a 5 inch cd-sized record. Plus stupid stuff like MC Hammer 12’s with goofy outdated fashions.

    The artwork on old record covers was like a poster for the idea of the song. That’s the love drug sprayed on them. At least to me.

    good for you … i love records for the feel > interaction > music in your hands

    id say rather than selling records hold on to them they might be rare soon
