Keeping Records - Vinyl, that is
Record Junkies
That's what happened to one DJ and columnist, Denise Benson, who wrote a recent article about her dilemma to pare down her growing record collection for her new digs to a smaller space.
She writes, "I've lived for 15-plus years in a huge, shared apartment -- one that has easily accommodated my pack-rat nature and obsession with vinyl. Now, as I prepare to move into a much smaller space, I'm forced to face the crap side of this equation head-on and pare down by shedding thousands of 12-inches and albums. It ain't easy, but I'm looking forward to having a proper bedroom rather than a record room that masquerades as one."
One of her solutions was from the advice of her DJ comrade, Freddy Fresh, who was also an admitted record junkie. He's been putting all his records on CD, which also preserves them.
Even though these vinyl collectors are old-fashioned, they realize they can do tricks on their CD Pioneer Decks that can't be done on turntables.
From an organized standpoint, they get their space back. And, that's a happy thing.
