Question

Wifey has a shed load of 'em - not been touched in 10 years of living together & new house is smaller, so less space. Big box of 'em. All 70s stuff I guess.

What do I do with them? Dump seems a bit extreme - theres about 50 odd.

Try some music shops that speciailise in collecting vynal, flog them the ones that are worth something, then probably bin the rest as you're not likely to get more than 10p a vynal at carboots I'm afriad (hell, I have difficulty flogging videos for a £1). I suppose you could try something like £5 the lot (if there's a lot)

Puff - take it you've not seen the film High Fidelity with John Cusack then?

What I would suggest is this:
Get them out, make a list of them all, maybe even be really **** and take a picture of the cover art. then have a scout round ebay and see how much the records you have go for. you never know, you might find they are worth a mint, at which point, quids in!

If you have something somebody really wants they will pay a lot for it.

Hence the HF reference.

Sadly, that collection is only incinerator fodder, a fitting end to what is a monument to horrific Eighties pop which was by common consent the worst since modern music began in the 50's.
