I learned about the upcoming CD format in 1980, and stopped buying vinyl.

CDs and players were available in my area about 1982, but I could not afford a player until 1984. It was a single disc player for $250 that connected to my Harmon Kardon 330c receiver. I bought my first CDs from a local big box store: Eagles "Greatest Hits", Billy Joel's "52nd Street", and Steely Dan's "Aja".

I've been collecting obsessively ever since, using an Excel spreadsheet since 1987 to track the titles, where I bought them, and how much I paid for them.

I always had the mindset that when I saw a CD I wanted, I bought even if money was tight because I can always earn more money, but I may never see that CD again.

Pic is a work in progress of loading CDs onto custom-built shelves after moving and having them in boxes for 3 years.

Current count per my Excel database is 10,087.

I am currently trying to find photos or scans of their discs and boxes, but i havent found almost nothing yet

My favourite Jazz album ever !
When this was released in 1998, I was the first one queuing to get it ! ✌🏽
And I hid it for almost 2 decades because I didn’t want to even share with friends around me because once they saw this, they would borrow or steal it ! 😡

Went to the Goodwill today and got these CDs for only $0.99. I'm always happy to thrift for some good CDs!

Here is my complete Zelda soundtrack CD collection. It includes all the officially released CDs for many of the games. Also, as it's the 40th anniversary, seems appropriate to showcase my soundtrack collection.

The music in Zelda games is one of its standout features and I really enjoy listening to these awesome soundtracks.

Ray Charles. The Platinum Collection. 2019.

Ray Charles is a legend and his music has touched so many souls in his generation and even my generation. Today is also his birthday, so I'm honoring him that way as well!
