My Record Collection

I've been collecting records for almost ten years now, but even as a child they were never something unfamiliar to me. Some of my earliest memories include my mother spinning records by The Doors, Crosby, Stills and Nash and Creedence Clearwater Revival. There was also the much loved tradition of playing Cream's "Disraeli Gears" at Christmas time when putting the tree up. 

There is something comforting about taking vinyl out of its sleeve and placing it carefully on the turn table; hands gently lowering the needle upon the grooves and that small silent pause as you wait for the music to sound. It is almost as if the preciousness of music has become something tangible that you can hold and cherish on an entire new level. Listening to music not only becomes a past time but a much loved and appreciated ritual. 

This here is my personal record collection that I have compiled over the years. Searching for these has taken me to see new places and meet new people, and I have memories attached to each one of them. I am still adding to my collection so do check back here once in a blue moon!
