Vinyl Me Please (store, exclusives, swaps, etc)

I keep them in A because the A feels integral to their name for reasons that bands who start with a The doesn't

Anyone else who sorts by using “the” should have their collection take away

 

[Nee Lewman]

At least none of you are sort by color madmen.

Have I mentioned that my wife, the English major, sorts books this way?

 

[Hemotep]

I don’t have any debate on the subject. As long a I use Discogs to catalog my collection it would be silly to use any other format to organize.

Do you put everyone by first name then?

 

[avecigrec]

Hey @avecigrec something to chew on… the same logic that leads you to put Tribe in the As might lead you to put Pink Floyd in the Fs.

Another possible counter is when you talk about A Tribe Called Quest and are actually speaking… are you more likely to say “A Tribe Called Quest”, “ATCQ” or “Tribe”?

A Tribe Called Quest

Oh that pisses you off @avecigrec ???

 

[Nee Lewman]

A Tribe Called Quest

Really? Like if I’m talking to my wife or dad, but if I was hanging out with you, it would be “Tribe” all day long.

People this afternoon are gonna be like what did VMP do today and then it’s just gonna be twenty pages of how to alphabetize.

I dont follow the discogs system as i can find everything myself for how i have it organized.

I keep Alice Cooper under A because it was a band before it became a person. If it was always an artist, then itd be filed under C.

I have too many records and too little memory to find everything without some occasional assistance.

 

[Hemotep]

Btw, @TenderLovingKiller®, this isn't a mocking question. Genuinely curious. I used to sort by discogs, but I like a little more separation between some genres now.

Let me stew on that for a bit.

Sort by the color of the spine for dozens of instagram likes.

I do doubt anyone here would think of the actual Tribe band, but I usually do say the full name too. At least for first mention in a conversation.

 

[Nee Lewman]

I mean cubes of Colemine records would look pretty sharp. Those mofi shelves always look nice. I don’t want to have to pull out a database to remember where I put something.

JFC you people are making me think about work on this most solemn and sacred Canalandia holidays, Victoria Day.

File your records how you want but to do it correctly you need to ignore the first A or The etc.

Now back to thinking about what I should have for lunch.

Wait, you guys don't file by the label's catalog number?

 

[Elric of Melnibone]

I only need the discogs to figure out if i have a particular album if in away from the collection, but if im looking for an album in the collection and im there i can find it

I also subdivide by genre

 

[Nee Lewman]

Well then you have to consider where to put the labels…

 

[gcowgill]

Alphabetical by label, of course, and skipping articles.
