A few years ago, my wife bought a turntable for our flat and we started to explore the world of vinyl records. Since then it’s become a bit of an obsession for me and I’ve ended up collecting a significant amount of LPs, EPs and 7-inch singles. Perhaps too much.The trouble with being into vinyl is that it can quickly become about the accumulation rather than enjoyment. It scares me to think how much money I might have spent over the years buying records that I was convinced I needed, only to listen to them once and file them away. Like any unhealthy obsession, the first step to overcoming it is to recognise it, so I made the decision to listen to my entire collection of around 150 records before buying more.
I’ll be posting regularly about my favourites, telling you a little about the music inside. I’m calling it my personal Alphabetical Vinyl Tour. The first entry is 2manydjs 2002 mixtape ‘As Heard On Radio Soulwax pt 2′
