Pretty sure that is the case.
I more often avoid this type of content in fear of seeing someone else boasting about a thousand dollar fish they shot in a barrel. But this was nice.
Yeah, quite the reveal! Gotta say, a lot of lovely things in his collection and genuine passion for the records and the music.
I sort of got the impression he might have done. He spoke of the importance of listening over acquiring. I know there is plenty in my collection I have yet to listen to.
Yeah… think he might be pulling our legs. 😂
This is a pretty cool video and Geoffrey Weiss seems like a very nice guy. But just wait till he gets to the Pharoah Sanders record… 🤯

Well… looks great to me… 😂
Henry Cavill 😍
That’s a brilliant record. Anyone even vaguely curious about New Age stuff should consider starting here.
In which case then, not at all weird. A really beautiful thing to do.
I think American Post People both deliver and collect. Which I think is kinda cool.
Yes… they are really into KW and I bought this case mainly because those discs were in it.
Katherine Williams and Vashti Bunyan CDs.
Scott Walker CDs.
Gillian Welch CDs.
Dad’s first pick. Martina Topley-Bird. Quixotic.
My dad lost their life partner recently and has been processing a lot of emotion through exploring new music. Delivered a little care package this afternoon. 💔
That’s the one currently in the Reckless new arrivals… as was on Tuesday, at least.
Yeah, completely. So good.
That is a really great album. Saw the follow-up in Reckless for under a tenner last week. Someone is getting a treat.
Do not, I repeat do not, give them my phone number. 😂
them after they had spent 60+ years together on a shelf. So, yes, of course I did. They will be looked after.
Let’s be honest - it is a form of hoarding.
I am almost pathologically sentimental. If anyone ever so much as scribbles a note to me, I have kept it.
Then recently I came across three books in a charity shop, all school prizes given to the same person. Even though only one was of particular interest to me it was unthinkable to separate…
Yes, the shear size can be a headache. Disposal, should that ever be necessary, would be a complex undertaking. I don’t know any dealers who could handle/afford to take it in its entirety.
But really I don’t care to think too much about those eventualities.
But, I have bought loads of records from collections of people who have passed. In quantity. And I am sort of glad that I can keep things together and like to hope they somehow they know their things are safe and appreciated.
After all, we are only temporary guardians of all this stuff.
His whole life, his biography in media. I’m not sure I could ever part with what I have. Life beyond or without these things (some too precious to quantify) would be a cold and bleak place.
We are not our possessions; but they certainly bring comfort.
This person, or so I understand, just decided to radically downsize after a near lifetime of collecting. Numerous recent LPs have come from the same source.
I once bought a whole collection from an elderly Jamaican guy. In effect backed up the car and just cleared the shelves. 1000s of records…
It has been a fascinating collection to have access to. And loads left; there were bags and bags of this stuff.
It is exactly that.
Catrin Finch is a new name to me, but there were lots of positive indicators for taking a chance. Not least that the the price was buttons.
Two stacks of CDs. Mostly ECMs and music from around the world. Plus 7 of The Necks albums.
Went back to have a look at the second (previously unseen) half of that CD collection from last week.
I was not disappointed. :)))
Noted. Thank you.
It has been foretold.
It’s lovely. Still used every day. 😊
