To elaborate on that thread on how to organize your collection from a while back: How many different parts make up your collection and how big are those parts compared to each other? Here's what I think is on my shelves. Probably between 1500 and 2000 lp's.western OST - 15%Indian OST - 20%Latin/latin funk - 5%Brasil - 3%Rock/psych/prog - 6%Jazz - 12%Soul/funk - 7%Avant Garde/electronic - 5%Library - 6%African - 3%easy listening/weird/a go go - 12%fusion - 3%new wave/pop - 2% "ethnic recordings" - 2%So what does your collection look like? Curious.
