It’s been three years since I started collecting the entire discography of the 101 Strings Orchestra on vinyl. I have a spreadsheet going now, having meticulously researched their catalog online.
Out of approximately 310 available releases, I now own 184.
Sure, I could easily buy them online and be done with it. They are (mostly) not rare or expensive. And I have splurged a few times, usually christmas or birthday, and bought some good ones that way. But that can take a bit of the fun out of it.
To this day I hit up the same ole thrifts shops I’ve been going to for 3 years and still get a small thrill out of finding new ones, like this recent score at a St Vincent De Paul.
