been redoing this since I lost my information.I'm up to about 550 LP's and on this last go-around I've removed about 75 LP's from the collection so far (bye bye John Abercrombie).Who else is as geeky as your boy?

Should be finished soon, which is when the REAL work will start...
My fiance keeps telling me to do this, but really I think I would find it boring as hell and I would rather work on a mix tape or something.
Shit is more addicting than crack (no joke)
sometimes I got to force myself to stop
Yeah, my fiancee kept bugging me to do it, and then one slow, cold Friday night I sat down with a crate and a bottle of wine, and went for 5 hrs. straight. Finished up the next day, doing the 600 that we live with. Its a great way to review your entire collection.
Damn, I'm pretty OCD about handwashing too but you're worried about whats on your record sleeves?!?!
Unless its obviously nasty or came from someplace suspect I couldn't be arsed!
No, just the opposite. (white v. brown keyboard related)
That's what my assistant is for.
For lp's: Artist Album Year Label Genre Where Obtained Notes
For 12"s: Artist Songs BPM1 BPM2 BPM3 Year Label Producer Acca? Doubles?
I would never have it any other way. I hiiighly recommend cataloging your shit.
heres a thought: if there was a database that listed a sku#/bar code with all known lp atists + titles etc (obviously the database would be ever growing as they were added in over time by all the subscribers), you could download/print a bar code sticker that equalled that records data, and stick it to that lp's bag in your expedit. as lots of info can be encoded in a few lines, it would have all the info and such in it, like label, cat# etc. then you have one of those bar code reading cat thingys plugged into your comp via USB to scan em in or out of your collection... sort of like having inventory of your collection without all the typing and spreadsheets. i guess some stores have just sort of a thing already.... er... yep, just reinventing the wheel over here, pay me no mind!
but still.
PUT STICKERS ON MY RAERS????
Fuck. I don't have raers anyways... lol.
I've been meaning to catalogue my shit for ages... I've only got a little less that 1K records so it shouldn't take me THAT long. I've always thought it would be a good way of keeping track of things I'd like to sample... cuz I'm not one of those people that just records clips of songs for future sampling. So if I had a nice database of records, with some sort of flag or switch for "To be sampled" or something... would work real nice. As mentioned it would also be great to trim about 100 records or so that I never listen to or won't ever sample. My pile of "not worth listening but perhaps worth sampling" stuff is getting out of hand.
Nerd.
Once you break the back of it all, it's just a case of keeping it up, but that first hurdle is big.
I really think I need a woman.
Hey Rich, are you in Texas by any chance? I may have bought some stuff off ya in the recent past.
