What records do I own?

Recommended Posts

Am I getting senile or do I have too much stuff? I have bought two records that I already own in the recent months - one I thought I had sold (but hadn't) and the other one I had no memory of actually owning!

Is this a common problem or is it just me?

Bought a record I already had several times, sometimes hear something I really like, enquire what it was, only to realize  i've known it for years, totally forgotten the tune.  As to having too many records, once i had FIVE sets of the Motown story (and never played any).

Often bought records I've already got. So I've recently began listing onto Discogs.

I've already found a number of "doubles". I've also found a number of records I've forgotten about found in Bristol junk shops 40 years ago, one on discogs for £200 and one for £100.

Entering on Discogs is a lot quicker than spreadsheets, well it is for me. You also get your records highlighted when you look up an artist or label.

I forget plenty of stuff but thankfully this rarely involves records (selective memory?).... but just to be sure I spent 18 months creating a 500Mb Excel spreadsheet including scans of both sides, YouTube links, condition, values etc.  Phase 2 will involve issue location & date, writing & production credits, matrix numbers and whatever else I can think of to soothe my chronic OCD:lol:

Don't think I've ever bought something that I already had, my problem is when I'm out & hearing even obvious oldies & can't for the life of me think what it is &/or hearing something I've had in my collection for years & can't think what it is. If I carry on like this I can relive my youth as they'll all be newies. might even buy some baggies .....baggy shorts anyway :thumbup:
