FAO anyone with a huge vinyl collection

FAO anyone with a huge vinyl collection

Just tried to sort mine out, and i aint got a clue where to start, how have u peeps sorted yours out??

Last time I sorted mine out it was by record label but they ended up getting mixed up again.

I just have mine in a big box! Will sort them one day...

I sorted mine out the other day n sorted into labels but my collection isnt huge. If its huge, say over many years of collection, u could have a box for each year n then sorted into labels within them. Just a thought

Now theres an idea!

I tend to keep them in order as to when I got them. But every time I pull a load to play out they never get put back in the same places cos im a lazy fukker.

i used to have them in a combination of age and how good they were but now i tried to put them into labels going soft to hard!!

What?!? You mean you own some
hard records Dave??

Thought it was just all lovely girly trance, shame on you

anyone who has seen mr revels records will know he has got a very sophisticated and complex sorting system; this basically consists of having big daves records in a big pile on his right speaker and his own slightly smaller pile on his left speaker...

buy a record box johnny?

Ditto

ere!!!i have a couple of hard house records even!!!tidy trax is one of the labels i have a few on!!oh my god!!i need to sort my life out!!

I reckon genre's the best way- All me progressive stuffs on the left, then all house, then trance, hard house, classics. all the stuff that im not bothered bout playin or cheesy stuff is on the far right and my 25 happy hardcore tunes are stuck down the left between my speaker and desk...

By movin genre order u can go from one set to the other without having to search through 200 records. At least that's the idea behind it- the reality is that about 50 vinyls stay under the desk, the other 150 all over me bedroom floor for as long as I can stand, or until me ma :evil: comes dangerously close to standing on them

i sort out my records like this: all the hard ones in my room, all the wafty trance in the garage heh

One eyed!!!! i hope that my vinyl stay safely under your desk and not on ya bedroom floor!!! i need them back or im gonna CRY=== get it, system f!!! u have that too i think!
any way, i always try to sort out me vinyl but i think like every1 else they just end up gettin mixed up again!

Everyone has there own way that works but:

if you have a couple of different styles chronological or alphabetical are often the best approach. Bigger collections or those with loadsa different styles would, I think, be best off going for genre - with each broken up into artist. Either way, the bigger the colloection the bigger the head fuck (and you still always seem to end up with a big pile on the floor that's 'waiting to be filed')

i dont have many...

i have a "my Records" pile...
and a "not my records" pile.....with ppls who i have borrowed...

its all a case of proper discipline i think, and takin the extra ytime needed to put them back in the right place....... but easier said than done when ya lookin for that quality tune to knock out next and u have about 10 seconds left to mix!!!!:spangled:

Ive spied a circle here: If its "easier said than done when ya lookin for that quality tune to knock out next and u have about 10 seconds left to mix!!!!" -Tino Well, the answer to that is: Sort out all your records n then when you need to find one in ten seconds it'll be 100 times easier to find. But then its easier said than done when ya lookin for that quality tune to knock out next and u have about 10 seconds left to mix!!!! But then you should sort your records out, although its easier said than done when ya lookin for that quality tune to knock out next and u have about 10 seconds left to mix!!!! So then you should sort your records out, although its easier said than done when ya lookin for that quality tune to knock out next and u have about 10 seconds left to mix!!!!

Get the point??
