Classical music on LP and CD

Thanks for posting that, Petrushka.

I'd be interested to know how much time he spends listening to them . One thing I noticed was that several of the larger box sets appeared to be still factory-sealed.

My father , who could't understand why I wanted more than one recording of any piece of music, would regard that as sheer lunacy. With me, there came a point where the lines on two imaginary graphs intersected: one showing the number of CDs I had, the other the number of days left to listen to them . That was when I stopped buying.

However, this sounds more like it. Here is the "newly arrived" stuff. Might be worth contacting even if you're not near Bristol.

Thanks for the links. I'm not sure that the donations that come in would be good enough quality for these people. I see that they say: "..Literally hundreds are rejected in the selection process, leaving only records considered of good enough quality and interest." I wonder what happens to those "hundreds" that are rejected.

This isn't me, I promise, but it could just as well be...

Is it anyone on here?

No, but I have something quite similar, with additional overflow areas and some in boxes in the loft.

I like the Bartók soundtrack!

The majority of my CDs are, naturally, in my listening room downstairs but many more are in a spare bedroom upstairs with (mostly) everything arranged alphabetically as downstairs. The big boxes are stored upstairs apart from the monster Abbado box which is impossible to lift without risking injury so that resides on the floor downstairs but that makes it awkward to remove and replace discs.

I know Bryn mentioned a table of some sort that he acquired to store the even more monster Karajan box and it would be interesting to hear from those who have either that box or the Abbado how they store it in order to easily remove and replace the discs. Getting down on hands and knees might not be practical in a few years and barely is now!

No brainer really - put them out at 3 for £1 - the customers will decide if they’re wanted - if they’re still there after 6 weeks rotate them for another load. They’ll make money for the charity!

But if the idea is to find out whether these recordings are of significant value or not, in the case of deceased music lovers' collections, someone who knows the market should be able to say. I'm not sure they would be very generous with any offer to buy but it may be just a case of sorting the wheat from the chaff.
