We have many too, and our record player has been packed up for over a year now. I miss my partner dj'ing on a whim, for hours. When we get this house on the market, finally move somewhere else permanently, I want to play them again. I think. But do we want to move the shelves of them? Such a part of each of our lives, going back to childhood. I hope whatever memories young people are making now will be as strong and wonderful as ours with songs on vinyl.
I get it. Letting go of things that have such deep sentimental value to us can be painful.
Most of the time when I've done it, it's opened a door and made room for me, but once in a while I looked back and wondered, "what was I thinking letting go of that?" Hopefully this vinyl purge of yours will bring freeing space for you, Alex.
Did a big CD purge a year ago and I've never regretted throwing out a single one. But vinyl? That's a whole different ball (or platter) of wax.
