has anyone done the math? I mean, at JC price guide prices, what would the complete Blue Note catalogue be worth?

For me,nothing nails the feeling,that “rush” that one gets when coming across an original gem,than the phrase one wag uses for his ebay handle-‘sniffin’ vinyl.’ EXACTLY!(The jazz heads version of sampling a taste of the white stuff before closing a deal-and,these days,just as expensive.)

Hear hear! I try and explain to people the feeling and sensation of digging for vinyl and unearthing gems for the personal collection. The excitement, the giddiness, the satisfaction and the overall elated feeling that overcomes me gets blank stares from the non-collectors I preach to. But I will always take the opportunity to talk about my passion when asked about it.

No one but a fellow collector understands. The emotional feeling of finding, playing and cherishing a rare record is difficult to express to a non collector. I don’t know if autism is the correct description, but elements of neurosis and psychopathy could apply.

The UK-based writer Nick Hornby (once also a vinyl addict and a very serious collector) once said, that collecting vinyl has some aspects of autism in it. I think this was a bit exaggereated….but I am sure that we all now moments when a lovely cover with an old record can redirect our minds from reality….

Mrs. JC is used to my existential crises, thank goodness. Otherwise she’d probably be Mrs. Ex-JC by now. She even took the picture of me this morning that accompanies the article. The idea was to bury myself in Blue Notes, but we were in a hurry so I just pulled a few quickly off the shelves. At least I picked some good ones — and they are all originals, by the way.

Al- I thoroughly enjoyed reading this 3 part series that offered a glimpse into your head and expansive vinyl collection. One question- what did Mrs. Jazz Collector have to say/think about this brief crisis in your life?

Great article Al. Albeit a little scary and familiar.
