Having started collecting vinyl again over the last 18 months i am fining it difficult keeping a track of what i have.

I want to catalogue my collection but not sure of the best way to do it or indeed how to do it.

Any tips on best method(s)?

Cheers.

Hi Gary,

I like to store my records in label name + number order (as an auditor and a sad anoraky type person ... although I like to think of it as organized!!) which I think is the 'proper' way to do it. It also helps you to get to know your records better.

As for cataloguing, it is handy to input artist, title and label (and other details such as demo or value) into spreadsheet cells. You can then 'sort' the spreadsheet by column, to list the records alphabetically in whatever order you want, such as artist or label. You could also enter date bought if you want a historical view, or develop your own numbering system (just to complicate things!!).

I also tape (or you can write to CD) new records so I can listen to them whenever I like, and get to know them. Although I have been known to accidentally buy second copies of records which I'd forgotten I had!!?!

Sent you a PM

If you not fussed how to do it, the easiest way is A-Z by artist then you know exactly what you have by 1 artist in case people ask or you want to play all your records by say Edwin Starr. It can be confusing having lots of records by 1 artist in different places
