Y’all been busy!!!! I’ll turn on my computer in a bit and do the calcs and see where we are mid month.

@teefer and @TCell coming through with box setsssss

@Ginormousthumbs, you are slipping.

@Kris has old stuff and getting it listened to!

I’m finally taking a day off so hopefully I can pull some records.

Thanks @girlnevergoesout ! I'm having a blast doing this; I can't believe I have so many unplayed records and plan to match whatever I win in a donation to my Food Bank. Oh yeah, and I'm still on track for the one unplayed records every day points too. Today is 16 for 16.

I think you gave me too many points...I would count what I listened to as 2 4LP box sets (Kate Bush & WKW), 1 2LP box set (Mac Miller) and 2 records (XTC and Echo). I was surprised when you said I was first because @Kris and @TCell seem to have listened to as much stuff as me or more. It seemed like it should be closer...
 
I woke up like this...

How does this work on vinyl? I'm v tempted to get it but I can't help feeling I may just want to watch the concert film as it felt v visual. Does the music / flipping so often work well?

I had the same worries, but I listened to it while doing chores and thought it worked surprisingly well.

Various Artists - Even a Tree Can Shed Tears: Japanese Folk & Rock 1969 - 1973 (Newbury Exclusive)

Ordered October 2, 2020
Sealed until today!

Great Sunday listen. Don’t normally like compilations on Vinyl, but this is awesome. Even my wife, who is occasionally skeptical of my music collection, was highly impressed.

I went through all my records today and only found one that was sealed! Turns out my hobby is cleaning and filing records.

I found probably 25 from before I had a record cleaner so they haven’t been played in probably 2 years.
