When my brother split up with his missus, he had to leave behind his cherished collection of punk records. Could normally still access the songs via CD, Youtube, Spotify etc. but it wasn't the same. So after a while he set about rebuilding his collection. Luckily most of it seemed to be available. It was only after he'd bought a fair few items from the same seller, that he realised the seller was his daughter

When CDs came along, I sold all my vinyl and replaced most of them with the CD version. Over time I came to hugely regret this and about a decade ago embarked on a lengthy and costly program of trying to remember what I had and re-purchasing it. I decided there would be no re-assessment of the merits of any album....if i owned it then it had to be re-purchsed regardless of what I now thought; paying 80 quid for a 'rare' Saxon vinyl was painful. When I say rare, it's rare not because it's a sough after collectors item...it's rare because it was crap and no one bought it. Some of it was a real joy and some of it quite emotional, I remember buying a bunch of Rush re-issues around the time Neil Peart died.

Suffice to say I will never repeat this folly and as I type I sit in a room with circa 2000 CDs and a 500 vinyl albums.
