Collections a plenty!

I've been collecting physical music since mid 2020, after moving back to my home state. My first few vinyls were gifted to me by some old lady who was probably a friend of my grandma's. Since I was into the Beatles at the time, a portion of them were Beatles records while the others were 60s artists I had no real interest in. Most of my casettes have been gifted to me by my father.

Back then, I was still living at my grandmother's as my parents searched for an apartment, and I struggled to get some real alone time (though her guest room has always been a very nostalgic retreat for me). To this day, I am still very shy about playing my CDs/vinyls/casettes while there's people in the house, not sure why. I remember the day I first got a chance to listen to my Beatles records, kicking back as I scrolled through Beatles tags online. I remember being deeply soothed by the atmosphere it created and it's one I still like tapping into. There's something about listening to physical music out loud in a room as you idle away at some task; it creates a cozy bubble. If you listen to vinyls/CDs from time to time, you likely understand what I mean.

Spare a couple collectors items, most of my items aren't that valuable. I sorta just collect whatever artists I like, anything that looks interesting to me, or stuff from local artists (might make a page covering those one day). I'll share any interesting tidbits about specific items here too.

Here's a list of all the physical items in my music collection.

Beatles

This used to be one of my biggest collections for a while. I've lost most of my interest in the Beatles after 2020 (I was more into the trivia anyway), so it's been very stagnant. I do have some non-music related memorbillia, so I'll list it here:

1. Yellow Submarine on DVD
2. The Compleat Beatles on VHS
3. Fab Finds of the Fab Four by Nolan Fleisher
4. The Unseen Beatles: Photographs by Bob Whitaker
5. The Beatles by Mike Clifford
6. Yellow Submarine Poster

Some stuff I was too lazy to take off the wall so you can get a peek at the other junk I own :7P.

The Residents

This is easily my largest sub-collection. Some of these items weren't listed in the main section since they're not music, so I'll list them here:

1. The Commercial Album DVD
2. Freak Show Comic
3. Brickeaters
4. Triple Trouble
5. CUBE-E Live Show Photo
6. 13th Anniversary Shirt
7. "Official Product" Shirt

I got the "Official Product" shirt when I saw the Residents live in 2023! Best day of my life!

Ralph Records

Somewhat related to my Residents collection. Nothing here isn't mentioned on the main list. I will note that my Green Postures and Gravity vinyl do have original Ralph innersleeves! Super Neat!

Heres some of my awesome spotify playlists for easier access!
