I’ve been working on
getting ready for a sale over Labor Day weekend by cleaning and pricing albums.
I’ve also been reorganizing them a little bit.
“Are you having a breakdown
or something like the guy from ‘High Fidelity’?” Jodi asked the other night. I
had stacks of records piled around the basement.
I started with the
several bins of records that I price for a dollar. I now have separate box for
soundtracks. I also rearranged so that I had a box for compilation albums. From
there, I did a box of random female artists, country artists, comedy, random rock
and other genres, Christmas and Gospel, and then two boxes of instrumental.
I tried to also
group albums by the same artist together. It’s interesting the artists that were
clearly big at one point who don’t seem to attract new vinyl buyers.
Johnny Mathis – I have
nearly twenty of his albums, and I have never sold one individually.
Herb Apert & The
Tijuana Brass – I have sold an album of his or two, but not many.
Wayne Newton – Not a
lot of his, but that pile seems to be growing.
Barbara Streisand –
People loved her once, but not so much now.
Then there are the Band
leaders of yesteryear.
Guy Lombardo, Tommy & Johnny Dorsey, Percy Faith, and of course, the collections put out by Lawrence Welk.
It's a continuing learning experience of former and current music tastes.
