*NEVER* Step on a collectors records!!

Here is a funny clip from the Alan Zweig documentary Vinyl. As he goes along with Chris Probert into a room that is hopelessly messy with records, poor Alan accidently steps on a fallen record and this sets Chris off. Alan had been telling him that his house was pretty much unlivable due to all his records, and Chris gets all defensive about it. They make up towards the end, but its still kinda funny. Being a record collector myself I hope I NEVER end up like this.

That Charlie Haden record is pretty good tbf.

Chris Probert died not long after. I have no doubt his obsession and hence his lifestyle contributed.

"not humanly possible" to have them off the floor?

for fuck sake man, have you not heard of SHELVING UNITS???

@squezey1 But you what I find funny. Not a single collector ever has the intention of becoming one when they first start buying music. For me it started with a few CD's and records that I loved, then it extended to more favorites and then I bought even more because I loved those releases too and then long story short that's how it all started.

@mligon I hate when people just horde music. I can't stand that, if I don't like it or it has no value to me personally, I won't have it. But if someone stepped on any of my CD's or records, yes I would be very mad, your stepping on a part of my life. But you know then again I don't have all of my stuff unorganized and LYING ALL OVER THE FLOOR. I organize my music by genre and artist too, to keep things clean and easy to find.

I found this clip sad actually...he does seem like a disorganized collector rather than a hoarder but it's a fine line. The guy knows he has a problem but feels helpless and at the same time he has Alan's camera pointing at him making him feel even more self-conscious. My vinyl collection (12inch records) I estimate at around 1800 (more or less) which I've actually accumulates over 20 years which I guess is pretty reasonable ... my vinyl addiction is primarily related to crate digging, flea mar

@redkettle7 i agree with you,this kind of thing never entered my mind before the TV shows came about.i suppose i have some things in common with hoarders.but worthless junk has no place in my collection!

[redkettle7]

@dimebagdave77 hoarders can and do take pride in their stuff. i've known collectors who were also hoarders and hoarders who were just hoarders. a collection is a collection, it doesn't have to be alphabetized and behind a glass case. just because someone has an affliction with hoarding doesn't mean they don't take pride in what they have/collect. hoarding is an affliction that has nothing to do with being a collector - but both characteristics sometimes appear in one individual.

@mrhoffame I have some vynil and a few vintage turn tables, but I am more of a tape-head.... but above all, I am more into computer-generated music (not to confuse with mp3).

[mrhoffame]

@OBSysteme I understand what you saying. Hey, have you or are you involved much with the vinyl community here on youtube?
