Although, not a large collection by some standards, I have a little over 1100 albums.  These have been catalogued alphabetically by Band, or Artists last name.  Since I often add to the collection and occasionally (very rarely) subtract from it; I will (once every year or so) play through the collection, starting at A and continuing till I have played them all.  This way I can review every album and confirm the information I have in my catalogue, like condition, label, etc., as well as decide if I still want it in my collection.
Having never blogged before, I am not exactly sure how this will develop, but the idea now is to play the album and post some info about it; year of release, label, condition as well as my thoughts on the album; perhaps how I came across it, etc.  Picture of cover and label may be posted as well.

My teen years were in the '70's, so my collection started with Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Bowie etc.  I never stopped collecting, just paused for a time while raising kids.  I also bought many CD's during their time, especially when it became almost impossible to find LP's even used ones. At that time I was buying music, not really "collecting" vinyl.  Now I collect, both for the music and for the value.  So if the album is collectible, then I try to get the earliest pressing I can in VG or better condition, with any attributes that make it more collectible, such as banned cover; within the budget I am comfortable with.  If I only want the album for the music, then condition and price are the only factors.

I also have a passion for vintage electronics. I am not saying today's stuff is no good, I just really like the older products.  They seem so well built, heavy and solid, made to last forever.  In my office where I am posting this, I have a Marantz 4270 receiver, a Pioneer PL-570 turntable with Denon DL 110 cartridge, a Denon DCD 520 CD player and on the front AR4x (Acoustic Research) speakers on the rear KLH model 20 speakers. All components are vintage, and were purchased inexpensively except the Denon cartridge, this is an essential upgrade.  In the living room is a Marantz 140 Power Amp with a Marantz 3200 PreAmp and a Marantz 115 Tuner, a Bang & Olufsen 1602 Turntable with MMC20EN cartridge, a Denon DCM 460 CD changer, and a Technics RS T18 cassette player.  The front speakers are AR2ax and the rear are outside, Yamaha outdoor speakers.  Also in my collection, but not in use; Akai 2800 amplifier, Pioneer SA-7500 amplifier, Yamaha RX 385 receiver, Yamaha CT 44 tuner, Paradigm 5se speakers, Marantz Imperial V speakers and KEF Chorale Mk III speakers.
