I love that Have A Nice Day box set from Rhino along with the 80s and 90s ones they did. I need a bigger room as my wall space is almost floor to ceiling with records. Kind of waiting for the floor to cave in. Enjoyed the books. My I Pod crapped out I do have a spare but all the music I had was in a very old computer so now I just use my phone. Enjoyed the tour. We need to work with you on proper alphabetizing. I did work 4 years at the library in college. I can come and and get you set up with the Dewey decimal system.
@AisForAliceBisForBob2 сағат бұрын
Thanks Steve! My way of alphabetizing comes down to one band, Uriah Heep. A character in the book David Copperfield, so since "Heep" is not of a real person like, "Cooper, Dylan" I use the first name of "Uriah." All makes sense now, doesn't it? Cheers!

What a fantastic room 🙂 Queen and Thin Lizzy. What a night that must have been? Queen played a small (1000 seat) hall in my hoe town in 1973 with MTH and then in 1974 headlining but I was way too young to go>. I was 9/10 😞 I saw Lizzy in an even smaller venue in 2003. John Sykes, Brian Downey and Scott Gorham were in the band then.

Very cool rooms! I have a question for your filing. It looked like you had your records in chronological order as most of us do. My question is for reissues. Do you file them under the original release date or the date of the reissue? I keep going back and forth on this. But it looks weird to have a Led Zeppelin debut after CODA because its a reissue
@AisForAliceBisForBob4 сағат бұрын
Thanks Doug! 2 part answer; for CD's I put the original in storage boxes kept in my laundry room. I want to free up space, so since the reissue has the original album and additional tracks, I don't need ready access to it. For LP's, I don't really buy reissues unless I don't have the original. And if I buy a box set of an album I already have, more times than not I move the original into storage to free up space. Hope that answers your question. Cheers!

I have that Ten Years After album but I can’t say I ever listen to it. I think it’s actually more popular to crap on Billy Joel in the vc than it is for people to like him. So that was a cop out pick. I give you credit though for picking the Police, even though they’re actually one of my favorite bands. For a country connection you could have picked Muswell Hillbillies by the Kinks. Or even maybe The Band. The Stones do some great country songs. “Country and Western “? What are you, 90 years old? No one says that. I envy the vacation spots you have been to. Those are some of my dream destinations. Why do I feel like you have a “special “ hidden room in your house with a Tommy Bolin poster on the ceiling over a single bed? The shirt design is very cool. I’m probably forgetting something but I originally watched this video hours ago. Good luck in Mikey’s contest.
