Rules For Record/Vinyl Purchases and Listening

1. No purchases from record stores or online - only garage sales or second hand shops.

2. No "best of" or "movie soundtrack" albums.

3. Make concerted effort to explore easily neglected genres - such as folk, classical, jazz, and soul.

4. $2 max for a single record purchase. $5 max for multi-record set.

5. If an album goes on, you must listen to at least the entire side and generally, the entire thing.

Other suggestions welcome.

Exceptions to #2: Gordon Lightfoot: Gord's Gold and The BeeGees: Saturday Night Fever.

those are gateway exceptions. they would certainly open the door to others.

I know. I have a Billy Joel greatest hits that I need to bring over and I'm trying to get you used to the idea.
