    Question Albums ~ Vinyl ~ 33-1/3 discs

    I have a huge storage tub of my old record albums. They have been sitting in the tub, in the garage since we moved about a 1.5 years ago. It kills me to think about just throwing them away.

    What have you old timers who know what I'm talking about done with your albums?

    They're sitting in a plastic box in the garage. Probably warped over time.???

    I'm not even sure where mine are anymore. Probably stored in the attic along with the candle collection.

    My wife has framed some... Fran Sinatra, Peggy Lee etc.

    We are planning on hanging them up at some point.

    I sold mine to Half Price Books for next to nothing. I did not want them sitting around forever and I did not want to throw them away.

    Amazingly, I do know where my old 8 tracks still reside.

    As a side note framing 8 Tracks does not look very good.

    I don't know. It would be kind of funky.



    Most of mine (ok... my Dad's) are sitting in a plastic crate next to the washer. It's some good stuff so I don't want to get rid of them. Maybe when we get a bigger place, I'll get a vintage console stereo to play them on.

    ...and across the line.

    Man, you could mount the 8-tracks in shadow boxes! It would be awesome!

    I like that piece! I don't have much in the way of vinyl/8-tracks, but I'd still like to have a nice vintage console stereo... I've got this idea to make one into a nice piece of furniture with all-new guts and (perhaps) a little hidden bar in one side.

    I'm in the process of converting all of my vinyl to digital. After that's done, I'll probably sell the records to Half Price Books. Then I will start digitizing my tape collection.
    On the track, I am fearless.
    If you were as slow as me, you wouldn't be afraid either.

    Heeey...don't forget about Bills Records & Tapes!

    I just threw away some...was going through a box I retrieved from storage and found a couple of strays...actually kind of embarassing...k-tel...disco hits... The others (the good stuff) are in a plastic "tub" in the garage...at least they were...they may have mysteriously disappeared as while I am typing this I don't remember seeing them...

    Nope still there...in the garage...they mean nothing to everybody but me! One by one...I give in...and toss them...most have already been replaced with a CD...I've run the gammut...LP...tape...DVD...now mp3...never owned an 8 track...

    Some I just can't bring myself to toss...the Heart album with the really cool picture imbedded in the album...I think it's even numbered...1,847 out of 20,000...

    I'm really NOT a pack rat...although when I encounter the "tub o' vinyl" something happens inside...not sure why...whether LP, tape, or CD or MP3...the song remains the same...

    If they are 12" I'll take'em! I have a ton of 12" LPs in my closet; from EDM to some old Sinatra and classical music my grandparents gave me.

    I have an old component 8-track player here that for awhile I was using to convert 8-Track to digital on the computer for my stepdad. If anyone wants to borrow it just holler.
