Oh Char, how heartbreaking
I just couldn't bear the thought of parting with any of my music, books or videos/DVDs - that's why I keep having to move to larger dwellings. I have no problems purging everything else, but those items I just can't. It's kind of sad really, I mean how often do you think I listen to my very first LP - the soundtrack of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (a gift when I was 5 to go along with the 'record player') - not often, I assure you :D but I still couldn't let it go.
I wish I was closer - I bet I'd buy some of your musical discards at the garage sale. I still add to my vinyl collection - there is a lot of great stuff out there that is out of print and never made it to CD.
