Additional breakdown of the acquisitions:
65 new
150 used
My New Year’s resolution is generally to buy less (especially new vinyl), which will be difficult considering my interest in upcoming Blue Note reissues, David Bowie’s 90s output (which should be getting individual reissues soon), and Neil Young’s large bag of archives. I’m thinking my goal will be to add no more than 100 albums (if I stick to the same ratio, they’ll be approximately 30 new and 70 used).
Edit: The next step of my analysis was to look at where I bought each album from, to get a better sense of how often I buy from each place:
Local shop: 83 (only 13 of which were > $10)
Yard sales/private collections: 63
Other record stores: 2
Target/SOV/UD (I’m treating these as one because I only buy from them when there are deals): 22
Amazon: 12
PBC: 8
Bandcamp: 5
Discogs: 4
Plaidroom: 3
eBay: 2
VMP: 1 (the Sonny Sharrock album I ordered 7 months earlier)
The numbers don’t add up perfectly because I didn’t include one-off purchases from N&G members, imports, or directly from the label/artist’s website (i.e. places I don’t regularly order from).
