Our weekend pretty much started, and ended with vinyl. There was a huge, and I mean huge estate sale at the end of last week with a house of thousands and thousands (no joke) of records - from everything from jazz to blues, show tunes and some rock and roll thrown in for good measure. The majority were for sale for $1 so it would have been wrong to have not checked it out.
Which basically meant Joe leaving me at the sale for a couple of hours to go through the walls of records and pick some out for ourselves. I think we came home with about thirty to add to our collection, I was mainly battling against seasoned resellers, luckily they weren't overly interested in the jazz or the blues so that was fine by me. What did we end up with well everything from Fats Waller to Billie Holiday via some Motown and Three Dog Night.
With talk about buying a house we've already packed up a box of vinyl - mainly the ones we can deal without listening to for a couple of months, as for the rest, I dread to think we physically and safety pack up and move 800 plus of them. This all reminds me how I should get around to doing an apartment tour - but it'll be without the fancy parts you find in similar posts on other blogs - you'll see it mess and all.
Anyway listening to vinyl, relaxing with five of them lined up, certainly is a nice lazy way to spend a Sunday and try to forget the coming stresses of the week ahead. Nothing beats that pop, the hissing and the crackling of music of years gone by coming back to life.
