CV and mad panic behaviour

[Lods]

Recently moved house so I disposed of all my old vinyls, cds and dvds to save space. The vinyls were in demand which surprised me but cds and dvds not so much. In fact many op shops are reluctant to take them, along with books, these days. Anyway,  I ripped all of my music collection to an electronic library several years ago now.

Op shops are a bit 'diamonds or stones' for vinyl.
It's usually James Last, Des O'Connor, Kamahl or the greatest hits of the Mormon Tabernacle choir. ;D

I struck a bit of a gem at our local yesterday.
Most of my vinyl (around 400 records) would be 80% late fifties and 1960s material.
Someone had dropped off a batch of singles without covers from that era to the lifeline store.
They were selling them for $1.00 a record but the store had a 60% discount day so I snapped up a heap.
Played them all yesterday afternoon and despite the lack of protective covers they were all in pretty good condition.
I've had no problems keeping and storing my records.
I can't say they're all in great shape...they've been played to death over the years.

(Have we drifted off topic a bit...might need a separate thread.)
