I too like collecting Vinyl (Can't play it anymore due to my Turntable crapping out on me some 8 years ago, I will replace it with one I can hook up to a Computer though), I collected Vinyl religiously from about 1974 through 1977 then 8-Tracks till around 82, and Cassette till 85 then back to Vinyl, my vinyl collection included every Beatles album released up till 74 (so in other words all of them) A lot of ELO, and some rarities I stole from my sisters, The Beatles Hard Days night soundtrack (original 1965 release) a original 1964 I want to hold your hand 45, and a couple of other Original 1960's Beatles 45's. Now my Digital catalog spans a lot more then that, it includes full discographies of everything from Sinatra to Abba to Marty Robbins, etc. depending on my mood I will listen to just about anything.. 

Currently, I am doing my concert going with my wife, I call it the See them before they drop tour! Last year, I saw Tony Orlando, Frankie Valli (2nd time), and Paul Anka, I am going to start the new year out with a Doo Wop Show hosted by Bowzer of Sha Na Na, which will include, Kenny Vance, Jay Siegel of the Tokens, Joey Dee and the Starliters (didn't see these guys but they played my cousins engagement party back in like 1969!) and a bunch of other doo woppers. My thing is I want to see Kenny Vance, I missed out on Johnny Mastro so I want to see Vance.. I also have Tony Orlando planned again this year as he announced last year he will be retiring from performing this coming year so I want to see his last concert.

Sorry for hijacking the post..
