Just a thought that I have on a regular basis, What will happen to your records when you depart this mortal coil?

I am seriously thinking of having mine burried with me, but with 15000 records in all, I'd have to have a tomb the size of Tutankhamun

I couldn't trust the wife with them, she'd give 'em to the local charity shop and be glad to see the back of 'em.

Anyway, just like to hear your thoughts.

Don't have them buried with you, that's like throwing them in a skip. They need to be around for others to enjoy. I hope mine would be passed on to a reputable dealer, if my family needs the money, or given away to friends if they don't. Once the owner slips this mortal coil they all need to go back into the scene in my opinion to be enjoyed by others.

Don't worry my friend, there is a plan in place for your records already . Cup of tea?? Water quality is not brilliant around here so there is a slightly bitter taste but still very enjoyable and certainly nothing to worry about......

Now then Steve there no need for all that talk,

Just leave them to me and I'll make sure they go to good homes. You know it makes sense!

Dave Raby (not dead yet!)

Nothing i'll be dead .

already sorted this one!!! left em to my mate in my will

Cheers Dave I'm truely touched.

As for mine I've no idea. The kids will take some that are special to them I guess though my son has most of the ones he likes electronically now, he doesn't get the whole ownership of the original thing at all.

Does it really matter what happens to your records after you gone? the debate goes on and on, but it doesn't really matter, the only thing that does matter is that you enjoy them while you are still here, remember also if you didn't collect soul music you would still spend the money on something else, whether it's another hobby, holiday, doing the house up or whatever.

Steve ,you've got ten yrs on me ,i know we've not yet met ,but as a soul fan ,and out of respect i will probably come along to see you off ,maybe stop over the night

And leave in the morning with my shovel and wellies in the back of a big van

Heheh! Excellent, and thanks for inviting yourself to my funeral.

I think it does mattey what happemns to your records when you leave, even if it's just for your peace of mind while you are here.

I think I may open a record shop called 'Dead man's records' so if someone dies and hasn't left their records to anyone, the next of kin can drop them off and let me take care of them.

How does this look?
