I have been avidly collecting records for over 60 years. My collection - dating back to the 1890’s and up to the present – contains Cylinders, 78 rpm's, LPs, Tapes, 45’s, Cassettes and CDs - covering every type of music. Heavily on Classical, with many rare and obscure Monophonic and early Stereo recordings, Popular - including; R&B, Broadway Shows (famous and obscure), Rock, Jazz (much early Dixieland artists), Spoken (Poets read their works), Ethnic, Country, Folk. Etc. As a pianist, I collected many artists (both classical, Jazz and Pop) however; other vast areas of vocal, banjo, bands are also greatly emphasized.
The overwhelming majority of this collection are LPs (both 10 & 12”) with 78’s not too far behind. All are highly organized in their different groups and sections, alphabetically by composers, artists or in their musical genre areas.
I am NOT interested in selling a couple of records (i.e. "Pick and Choose"), or for that matter, even a couple of hundred or entire single areas (i.e. Jazz, Rock, etc.) but rather in lots of thousands. My experience with "dealers" have proven poor (they seem only want to "pick and choose' the rarest items paying nothing for them.) Please don’t waste each other’s time –serious collectors only that are ready to purchases these ‘gems’ in quantity, and at fair market prices. If this scenario fits you, contact me and we’ll discuss your interest and collecting needs.
For reel to reel tape collectors, I do have a small collection of 8 professionally released SUPER SOUND audio tapes for $55 (less than $7 each!) - all in original boxes (7 1/2" X 7 1/2"). Sold as a lot only.
