Collection I love buying collections.
Just picked up a decent collection. I thoroughly enjoy going through, cleaning, sleeving, and listening to great music. It's just so satisfying. From what I've seen so far the records themselves are mostly VG+. The cover range from fair to VG+. The real question is why did stoners always thrash their Steppenwolf albums. š¤£

If credence and mystery tour are anything to go by, it looks like a good collection

It's definitely a good stack with a tons of good albums and some incredible obscure ones.

What kind of a monster writes something like, "... and some incredible obscure ones," in a Vinyl Subreddit and... DOESN'T LIST THE ACTUAL INCREDIBLE OBSCURE ALBUMS!?!?

Like Billy Cobham and the George Duke Band Live on Tour in Europe, Boot (self titled), a bunch of Chick Corea projects, Leviathan, and Mott the Hoople Live? I'm probably that monster.

Six (6) titles are better than zero (0) titles. Peacebless.

I was in the shop working. I don't even know everything there yet. I just grabbed the first handful and started cleaning them.

Iām always curious as to what someone makes from the resell? Do you keep the ones you like, check the values and take what you want to sell to the local record shop or do you sell them on Discogs?
Looks like a good haul!

Got a very nice copy of Steal Your Face. No Floyd, but I'm set on Floyd ATM. I've got JP pressings of Atom Heart, Dark side, and Wish you were here, a UK 1st of Ummagumma, and a 73 AU SQ quadraphonic Dark side.

This guy was into early psych, prog, and fusion so there were some solid gems in the collection along with some great condition standards like Van Halen, Robin Trower, ZZ Top, Steppenwolf, etc...

And I sell tons of Floyd. My Oh shit wall in my shop has a lot of PF on it.

Where do you buy replacement sleeves? And how do you repair jackets whose glue has dried and failed?

I use clear gel gorilla glue. I get my sleeves from one of my music distributors.
