You Know You Have Too Many Records When....

You don't even bother to answer when you ask yourself 'Don't I have this already?'...

 

You have whole stacks of vinyls you 1) don't remember buying, and 2) have never heard.

 

Your dog knows the smell of used vinyl.

And knows that it is competing for the purchase of snacks.

 

You answered a 'Vinyl Fetish' ad in the back of a newsweekly... and, gosh, there's some strange people out there!

 

Filing vinyl has not cured your dyslexia.

 

Haven't read the entire thread so apologies if someone has mentioned this.

You have to open the door to remove the album from the jacket.

 

Well, when?

 

Why don't you go outside, get a life, and give moral lessons to people you really know?

 

Because I have too many records. They're blocking the door.

 

When your records have their own room, but your son does not!

 

...1500 ... when you are 1500 over the amount your wife finds acceptable.

 

Vinyl + CDs = 3,300+
And a wanted list with at least 200 titles on it

 

When your records are calling your workplace on your behalf to report a sick day!

Obviously your taking a day off to listen to the new vinyl stack and forgot to call your boss.

 

...the records aren't an extension of you. You are an extension of the records!

 

...you are convinced that your records mate at night!

as a result...

...you go to bed amidst a collection of 5000 records, and wake up with 8000!

 

20,000 lps and 40,000 cds...well past the point of Hoarders

 

And yor house is protectd by the National Historic Preservation Act.

 

You need to hire a curator for your collection

 

...your monthly calendar alerts revolve around nothing more than release dates of albums.

 

...half of your albums were bought prior to the official release date!

 

...you know the tastes of the record store owner better than that of your own spouse!

 

...you'd rather play records than sleep!

 

buy it anyway.

May be THE 'hot stamper'.

I have a sickness...
