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.

NO WEAK MATH ALLOWED ON THE STRUT BATHCES!!!!
Soul/Funk = 200 lps
Rock/Psych (60's to 90's) = 300 lps
New Age/synth = 50-75 lps
Ethnic/field recordings = 150 lps
Spoken word = 75-100 lps
Jazz = 200-250 lps
Exotica/moog/weird = 100 lps
Yacht Rock = 12 lps
This is rendered even more hilarious in that "Bathces" is a noted underground mathematician.
Thanks folks, here all week.
quoting yourself to explain your comedic gold is perhaps
modern jazz 1000
Exotica 200
American Standards 50-60's popular 500
Country 100
Garage Rock 500
