Here at work I still have my copy of Exile On Main St that I got for Christmas in 1980.

Unfortunately I don't have a turntable at work. We had to dump them because of some bullshit inspection by JCAHO. Right now I have my Bose Wave Radio going listening to XM Sirius from a laptop connected to it.

Thanks Barbara I hope you have a good record day. Maybe I will play some records when I get home. Or some cds lol. You do not have to turn them over.

Actually I went to the shelves near the now defunct view-box room and noticed that my first Beatles album I bought in 1976 is in the same pile...the cover is coming apart but the albums are still in them. I will play that tonight. Beatles 1962-1966. If you are a government worker like me no one cares if you have your record collection at work.
That is why I am not going to vote for Carly Fiorina she probably wants to take them away.

My entire collection of vinyl beginning from 1974 was stolen from storage in Florida, including unopened copies of every Beatles album I bought the day John Lennon was shot.

But with my current transition into hard rock, I would not be listening to most of them anyway, but even so still a bit miffed. We did not have insurance then either.

Today I do have a nice collection.

My son is getting a bit of a collection too. He finds a lot at garage sales so the quality might be compromised.... But he enjoys them anyway.

Mine, dating back to the early 60's was stolen out of my house, also in Florida.

It was back when my two son's were in their teens and were running with a bad crowd. I strongly suspect either my youngest son and/or one or more of the maggots he was hanging with at the time.

I also had a really cool Tommy Hilfiger shirt that turned up missing.

It had a real colorfull Carribean motif with Parrots, and Seaplanes, Palm trees, women in big floppy hats and what not all over it. Real nice pinpoint cotton. Cost me $60 bucks back in 1990 when that was a lot of money for a shirt. It was the coolest fucking shirt in the world. I was recently divorced at the time and the chics really loved it. If I ever find out who the little bastard was that took it I'm going to knock his dick in the dirt.
