He told me he KNOWS he has several PJ albums, and that he would GIVE them to me. He guarantees they are unopened.. thing is, they are in NO order :( this blows.

    Granted the magnitude of it would make it suck, but that would be awesome to just spend an entire day going through his collection to see what he has.

    He indeed does. I was over there this past summer, he was telling me how he saw Led Zep, and The Who.. etc etc. He's 55 so he isnt much of a PJ fan, but he told me he likes them.

    Every time Im there, he is in the basement with the record player on.

    I HAVE to take pictures, and show everyone on here. It's pretty crazy, I saw he has TEN on cassette also. His cassette collection is nuts too. Although he has a lot of my fathers in it, they use to trade lol.

    i'll probably be like him in the year's to come. i got alot of records, shelves of music. just need to upgrade my record player. if only i could find a 7.1 surround sound speaker system that can work with my fisher price kids record player, then i'm set! lol. i have a kenwood old vintage one, but need to replace the needle. i just got in friday the led zeppeling - the song remains the same remastered 4 lp box set. it's sweet. haven't spinned it yet. smell of the lp is sweet!

    I wish I were you right now....

    "I wish I had an uncle with
    a basement full of vinyl
    I wish he said that I could have
    the ones that made me smile...."

    OK...that's lame...obviously I'm not a songwriter!

    That link didn't work, but I can imagine it's a pretty hep spinner....For some reason, although I have amassed about 1,000 records, I no longer have a turntable and my husband thinks I want one that costs $10,000...

    But on our last trip to Seattle, he bought more vinyl than I did! Now we have all the Shins records...and I got LOTL and Vitalogy promo (sealed)...
