Just the single, Seal didn’t get the carte blanche of doing a whole soundtrack like Prince did. With all those harmonies, a good pressing of Kiss From a Rose must sound incredible!
Another one to get hold of would be the Let’s Dance album. I’m a kid who loves Bowie’s early stuff, but that’s because I love the psychedelics.
Fine choices! 😍
Notice that I didn't lowball the storage..... and I also made sure it was modular 😇
That is a fairly difficult question and I default to the answer given in the movie ‘High Fidelity’, autobiographical is the way to go.
This is the ultimate problem for any musical hoarder!
So currently, my collection is all over the place, I've bought aluminium storage boxes and numbered them and how have 28? all full, about half in the garage and half in the room where the system is, but all over the floor.

Man, you buy like I do! Be careful, it's a truely addictive hobby! But OMG, so much fun!
Looking at that I feel as though I've slipped back in time! Valves are a feature now then? 😮This is the ultimate problem for any musical hoarder!

Until I get my next house in a couple of years that's how it has to be unfortunately, it's not worth getting proper shelving, there just isn't the room for it.
So currently, my collection is pretty higgledypiggledy, they're mostly just sorted in order I buy them.
My future intention when I've got some proper record storage space will be to do it by Genre, then Alphabetically by Artist name.
I do have every release ever by the Anjuna record label which I think will be in it's own section sorted alphabetically by Artist name.
My intention is to commision this guy from Audinni to build my record shelves against one entire wall, this is the same guy that designed my hifi cabinets, and I absolutely adore his style, I want to commision his to build the record shelves out of the same Walnut that my hifi stack is made from:
Case Studies: Vinyl Storage Unit - Wall AV Furniture
AV Furniture Case Study: Vinyl Storage Unit In Short: We needed to created a Vinyl Storage unit, big enough to hold 6,000 pieces!
This is my Hifi stack in Walnut with Black Glass shelving - The Blok Stax 400

Valves are still considered audio nirvana, they just produce a sound that solid state has failed to replicate save for systems costing in the 10s of thousands. Solid state tends to be cleaner and drier, often more accurate, but valves just give that warm sumptuousness that is to die for.
Oh I understand the sound, valves are analogue devices, reproducing everything that was on the record (hopefully the artist didn't make a digital master though
). I still maintain that most people over 25 can't hear quantization distortion but I'll accept that there is a richer sound there with valves. We knew stuff back in my day.......
That's exactly it, keeping a vinyl chain all analogue was exactly what I was after, and it does produce a richer sound, especially with artists voices, that's where the main definition comes into it's own on valves. Quite sublime.Oh I understand the sound, valves are analogue devices, reproducing everything that was on the record (hopefully the artist didn't make a digital master though
Get yourself (or make) a small soft-rubber-headed mallet. Over time the anodes in thermionic valves can become coated, reducing their efficiency. A gentle tap with the soft-rubber mallet whilst the valve is hot will shake this coating off restoring the performance of the valve.
I’m with you there. As someone who plays a bit of electric guitar, I shudder whenever hear people refer to them as tube amps.
