Wow- you live on the Sunshine Coast- I had an apartment south of the Gold Coast until last year.
Many happy years there, what a perfect climate! What beaches. What great surf clubs with cheap
beer & excellent meals. I miss it but retirement meant I was priced out of Australia.
I grew up in Sydney and the Gold Coast. "Many happy years there". Well, I don't need to tell you anything about the place. To everyone else: If you love Nature and you love being out of your comfort zone, Australia will fulfill and exceed your expectations. Life On The Edge.
Just to be devils advocate - average record is 40 mins long 40 x 2000 = 80,000 = 1333.33 hours = 55.55 days solid.
For me I get to spend, at best 6 hours listening a week. that's only 312 hours - so that means it will take me 4.27 years to get through 2000 records end to end.
My simple point being that isn't there a bit of showboating like stately homes in the uk with people who used to buy a 'yard' of books?
I have perhaps just over 1000 records - truth be told I can't genuinely say I know each record very well.
Years back I had in excess of 12,000 LPs. Sold the big house and moved into town and downsized the collection to approximately 3,500. Find I'm listening more to some than others and am considering sending some to my children who both have and enjoy the LP experience.
I have approximately 1500 LPs. It’s a constant process of acquiring and letting go. Refining what I have got, if you will. I’d like to Max out at around 2-3000. More than that and I think you just start to lose track of it all.
