The various posts about record prices/values/collectors (e.g. subject: JM auction results) prompted me to kick this off. Posts about collectors are like posts about mythical creatures to me. I don't know any. And only know i'm not one, and just have/buy records to keep & play. I did note in JM 6th edition (2013) it says over 6K collectors had been added since edition 5 and there are about 700 pages of tightly listed 45's.

i enjoyed reading this, and i'm glad you went with your option to post "incomplete" as you say. I'm not of the caliber of your authorship but have and do face the same dilemma. In that, when researching, i end up with interesting morsels and a potpourri. Mostly on scraps of paper, a dozen notebooks, jottings, and so on. And i wonder whether to wait and develop them, or 'publish'/post. I'm gettin' on (in age) which also means i make mistakes, so i guess at some stage i'm just going to put it all out there for someone else to take on maybe. yours was a nice read, cheers.

thanks for that. enjoyed the article very much.

does anybody know if there is there any family connection between Alice Ossman (Miss Ray's sister) and Al Abrams ( aka Stanley Ossman)?
