I've reached the point in life where downsizing/uncluttering has great appeal. My son who is into Vinyl LP's has said he would like to have the 200-300 album's in my "collection". It's understood as part of a young couple with two careers, buying a first home, etc. they may sit in boxes a long time before he gets to them. Unwanted ones could be sold to a retailer of used vinyl in Lawrence,KS, sold on e-bay, or donated to the local Public Radio annual fund raising music sale. Or he could put them on a coffee can, heat 'em up and make snack bowls out of them. Won't matter to me.
HOWEVER. I did own a pedal steel and attempt to make "musical" sounds on it with a couple of country bands in the 1970's. Got to see many of the great steel players of that era live. Made it to Scotty's convention in 1976 and 1977. I have been lurking on this forum for years and even posted a couple times. Long-winded old geezer ain't I.!!!
The point is, I will pull out the steel guitar albums I have and make them available to forum members, if there is any interest. I'm thinking in the range of $5.00 per album plus the cost of supplies and postage. Planning to use shipping boxes from Accoustc Sounds, a major online vinyl retailer. (They also have a large vinyl pressing plant).
What I have.
8 Buddy Emmons LPs
8 various other steel guitar LPs. (Doug Jernigan, Julian Thorpe, Speedy West, The Starday album, and some others
I also have all five volumes of the "Moods of Maurice Anderson"
If there is interest in old vinyl please post. If the response is positive I will do a formal "for sale" in the next couple of weeks. NOT taking "orders" at this time. |

Due to the low level of interest, gonna just deal directly with those who responded.
They have been notified by email.
When the dust settles will remit the forum fee. (Well deserved in my opinion, thank you Bob! ) |

Sorry, Ed. There doesn't seem to be much interest anymore in vinyl LPs. I have tried to sell some of the 2000 I have but
haven't sold any. I gave Buddy Emmon's black album away and some of Gabby's Hawaiian LPs. I have lots of C&W, Steel guitar, Jerry Byrd, Santo & Johnny, Big Band, Hawaiian etc etc. Every one in top condition.[img]
Good Luck'
Wally
Collection dates from about 1950 to about the end of the vinyl era.[/img] |

I had about 200 various albums inc virtually every steel album ever made. I tried for a long time to sell the entire package for $200 with no success, not even a bite.
I wound up giving the whole lot of them to a friend that is into vinyl recordings. He is the son of a steel player and loves the steel guitar. So at least I know they will be listened to and not just go into storage.
Pretty much had the same results with my CD collection. Everyone wants all their music on a memory stick, regardless of the compressed sound.
The days of physical music collections are gone forever I am afraid.

 Sorry, Scott. I don't have a list yet and probably will take a long time with 2000 LPs. Do you have anything special you're looking for?

Also saw this too late. I’ve been collecting steel LPs for about 5 years now. Listen to lots of other vinyl as well. I’d love to see any for sale list anyone is willing to share!
Steel, Hawaiian, Jazz all good. Not so much Rock or Pop. |
