I have been working on that for the past 3 years ,still have about 100 or so to go. I started it to weed out as my collection was up to 2500. Down to about 1500 now.Playing through your collection every once in a while is very telling, I recommend everyone do it occasionally. Glad to see a few doing so
I think I’m going to give it a go, too. I never wanted to do it because I couldn’t stand the thought of playing the same artist in a row several times - not sure how I didn’t realize it was a possibility to play by album title . The only thing holding me back now is knowing it will almost certainly be a 3 year affair at least.Playing through your collection every once in a while is very telling, I recommend everyone do it occasionally.

It's not an overnight venture for sure, I think it took me almost 2 years because I was spinning new additions as I got them as well. But, I did purge a bunch of albums and found a few that needed to be upgraded, so, all in all, it made my collection "better"I think I’m going to give it a go, too.

I will very much go into it with the understanding that this is a distinct possibilityI think my problem has always been that my crazy mind will not be dictated to. Whatever way I do things like this, and however good the intentions, I get about 20 in and my brain rebels and just plays what it fancies…
Collection playthrough #12

Man do I need this album on vinyl so bad. I have the MOV of this and Hope Is Important on back order but even it has gone rare! One of my absolute favourites of that era
I remember getting my copy in 2009 on a trip to San Francisco. I was just starting to get into vinyl and I was so psyched to find a copy of this. I have the MOV hope is important and it’s not a great sounding record. Happy to have it though.
This list is pretty much an exact preview of my next few days of spins.I was inspired by a few others on here who have been playing through their collection in alphabetical order by title. I've done it by artist before, so this seemed like a nice change of pace. I will try to better document on here. I've had a major system upgrade, so it is going to be great to have a thorough listen!
So far:
QOTSA- ...Like Clockwork
Miles Davis- 'Round About Midnight
Marvin Gaye- "Here, My Dear"
D. Bowie - "Heroes"
Oasis - (What's the Story) Morning Glory
Big Star - #1 Record
Bill Withers - +'Justments
D. Bowie * (Blackstar)
Beach House - 7
and this, an all-time fave.
Blur - 13
