2,000,000 LP's and counting!

Johnny Vinyl · Jul 17, 2013

At the end of the month I'll be flying out to Calgary to celebrate mine and my twin-sister's 60th birthday. I'm really looking forward to it as I haven't seen her in 3 years. While there I'll be taking a day to visit a used record shop called "Recordland". It's estimated this place has about 1 million LP's for sale, plus another 1 million in storage and growing. While I suspect that much of it is crap, I'm hoping to pick up the odd LP here and there. Even if I don't, it'll be fun just going to have a look!

I'm still very close to her....always have been. Something about being a twin I guess.

You should be ashamed of yourself. But given your life's work, that is probably a standard response.

(I did smile at that )

Lo ball him and bring a few 18 wheelers.

LOL! I still have 1,500 at my sisters place.....don't think I could stand adding much more. Going to go through my stash and bring back a few......the others......well....I think I'll give them to my nephew as he's getting into vinyl and it would make him happy. He doesn't know it yet though.

Uncle John, I am only three hours away from Calgary

and I still have lot's of room in my lp rack

Wow John, that's an amazing store! IF you can stay long enough and have a list of wants with you, I would think that you should be able to score some serious vinyl. OTOH, most dealer's that I know that have anything like that amount of stock tend to price on the high side...usually.
