Well, it's true that most classical is garbage that won't even play right... but still, rarely is it all bad in any collection.
Folsom I know a record store in Everett that has 10k plus classical records that if you rolled in with a box truck he would make you a hell of a deal. I saw a couple that I wanted the were so buried it would take an hour of unstacking to get to. Stacked 10 feet tall or more.OMG don't say that, you're stressing me...
Sadly I think a lot of it ends up in landfills if record store owners turn down classical collections when people bring them in for sale.
Ten years ago I found a ton of amazing classical on vinyl at the two Half Priced Books in Houston. These days I would agree with you guys with how it looks at my local store.
I go to a decent number of concerts (New York/Boston primarily) around the world and most classical fans are digital or streaming.

Click the link and check out the pictures of the store and scroll down to the bottom and look and the picture of the girl looking at records and look at the wall of records 12 feet tall behind her. They are headed to the land fill and its 99% classical.

And I call dibs if there is an LSC Gaite in there!As far as I know its not picked through, he despises classical as its a loser for him occupying his record bins. They are just byproducts of buying collections. I saw a couple of the audiophile discs from the other thread here and I showed him where they were and the response was that it would be X amount of dollars per hour till he gets to them. I told him online would be easier and cheaper for everyone involved, he agreed.
Contact him and check it out. Dude is bat shit crazy, fun to talk to and even funner to listen to him talk to other people.
Guarentee you he would make a smokin deal. Especially if he does not have to help.
Your going to need a bigger boat!We'll see. I have to look into the situation. I know they won't all fit in my SUV!!!
Was going to ask you about the Elton John SQ but figured as much and took the chance. The ELP and Joel the same thought process as the concerts are in what I call their prime time. I will put up with mediocre SQ to hear Liberty Devitto bang the skins.How's the sound on the Grateful Dead LPs? I figured it'd be poor, and decided to pass. The Elton John is a good performance and mediocre SQ.
LOL! The Gadd Band is essentially the James Taylor band without James and some back up singers. Some of the videos I watched tonight were off the hook!I'm going to see James Taylor with Steve Gadd next weekend. It could be boring because .... James Taylor. Hehe but we'll see.
