Records & Death

Last night I went with a friend to check out a collect of some dude that passed away. It was in a storage unit with not only records but a bunch of gear. The family member really didn't have an idea about the stuff he had (No heat or anything. Just mostly some average Soul, disco, calypso & reggae). Super nice guy, but it made me wonder if I spent a lifetime of putting something together would I want it to end up in that situation...

Do strutters have a plan for what they want done with their collections & gear if they die? Probably 99% of us never think about such things.

Then I saw this just now

I'm thinking about getting my ashes pressed into a boot of East of Underground and sending it to my 25 top favorite strutters...

    damn man i dont know, i'd probably leave it all to my girlfriend or to her brother....but at the same time are they going to look at getting 30 crates of records as a burden and wtf would they do with 4 1200's and a shit load of other gear...

    id like to leave it to someone who could use it, i would like for someone to take all the music/videos that i made over the years and release it all in a series of dvd/cd's and vinyl for people to check...

    i on the other hand will be shot into space...lol huzzah!

    Reading what I wrote some time ago, I feel basically the same.

    As for ashes in vinyl -I would do a dub plate special of me making ghost sounds from the beyond backed by one or two of my favourite rhythms.

    Catch and Release is also a good fishing practice.

    My wife knows how to contact CM RBM who would be willing to give her a price for everything and pack it up so she doesn't have to deal with it.
