RECORDS

A few months ago, I determined that I wanted to have a record collection of over 1000 records. This may seem like a waste of time and money, but I have really enjoyed it thus far. The majority of my records have come from Dan's Downtown. This might be one of the greatest stores I have ever been in. He is a cool man who has amazing deals on amazing records. Other records have been given to me and others I've got at Flea Markets, Ebay, and other music stores. I currently stand at 77 records and have a while until I reach my total. Here are the 77 in order of how much I appreciate them.
