This in itself is worthy of a FR&B post. (If there isn't one about it already.) Or at least it sounds like the ideal subject matter for a Earworm & Song Loop essay. I've somehow lugged my 1300 or so LP collection (and 500 or so CDs) around the past few moves, but the CDs are in tidy file folders now (stupid me did not save the back cover artwork, only the removable booklets so cannot sell them). The only memorabilia I ever collected was ticket stubs which thankfully do not take up room...and to show my OCD tendencies, I have them all stored chronologically in special ticket stub albums.
You may have noticed I loathe talking about ME in my articles, so no, nothing yet exists on me and my former record collection. I did get my radio and retail record biz articles out of the way post haste (last August), but that was only to get it out of the way, but also to set the foundation for what followed.
I even hesitate assuming that anyone even comes close to caring about my personal opinion about an artist or song (or anything, for that matter). I'd rather lay out facts and anyone else's opinions, and let the reader form THEIR opinions. Hey, decades of conditioning, what can I say?
As for you and your CDs...don't lament not keeping the jewel cases. As you know, CDs are rarely used now, by anybody, so unless I miss my guess, resale value would be worth far below the "worry-rate"!
You collected your ticket stubs chronologically in special ticket stub albums?!? I think my OCD trumps yours: I kept my stubs in a re-purposed photo album, equally as chronological!
