Can we talk vinyl?

@alexmorrison14 Looks like a sizable collection. How many albums would you say you have?

I don’t think I’ve actually counted mine in a good long while, but I believe I have somewhere around 300-350 LPs. Picture your lowest two shelves (8 sections), but packed full. Then I inherited my parents’ old albums, so now have a small auxiliary pile of loose ones nearby (mainly Tijuana Brass, Engelbert Humperdinck, other odds n’ ends of the 1960s, and so on). Their 45 rpm collection is another topic, as is my own.

From the latter group of LPs, I listened (and regaled the rest of the house) to the Mantovani’s “Manhattan” album within the last couple of weeks. I was spurred on to do so when my oldest son was playing one of the songs from it on the piano, from his Christmas gift, “100 Movie Songs for Piano Solo” book. Maybe I’ll see if I have Engelbert’s rendition of “Les Bicyclettes de Belsize,” another in that book which he’s played, to play for him - the book has no lyrics.

CSN&Y’s “Deja View” is next up in rotation, from my own collection. I’m just waiting for my youngest son to have some free time to listen to it.

I described my audio setup here (such as it is), in the thread “Show Us Your Stereos.”
