BERIGAN Posted March 17, 2004 Report Share Posted March 17, 2004 (edited) Or Moose's thread on weird organization, mixing the rock with the jazz...a foolish Idea, if you ask me! I have wondered how others had their collection laid out...mine is purely the buy another cheapo spinner from laserline and see how many will stack and spin! I like my cd horizontal so I can read the titles, of course, 2 cd sets don't fit in those spinners alphabetically, so I have to use this wooden case for 2 cd sets, and various artists, alpha of course, and no rock in 'em!(Except for the one DVD audio I own , by Megadeth , that comes in a goofy too tall case, so it lays on top of other jazz cds! ) My Box set collection with just a few Mosaics, that cannot be seen(Just vertical blackness, no matter how much I adjust the brightness) The Proper sets on top cost just about the same amount as the Capitol Jazz set! Not that the Capitol isn't worth it. Of course, the Frankie Trumbauer Bio-discography (Blue book on right)was the price of 4 propers as well.... For anyone that thought my talk of Megadeth was a joke... For the life of me, I don't know why stuff always falls off the top of these! Need to see if I can get a fourth one on this stack! Of course, whenever possible, I put all hep cds by the same artist together, to have the color flow, and If I can get to different hep artists to butt up together... I cropped this photo, so I wouldn't have to explain why I had not one, but 2 of the same Patti Rothberg cd on the floor...wait, did I just mention...I am tired.... So, I showed what a pigpen I live in, and my cd collection...NEXT!!!!! Edited March 17, 2004 by BERIGAN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LAL Posted March 17, 2004 Report Share Posted March 17, 2004 Interesting. How often do you dust them CDs and box sets? To keep mine 'dust free', I place CDs in clear plastics (seal right) slot them in mini CD cases housed in ceiling high cabinets with doors, yet the dust still gets to them, a bit anyway. Sorry - no pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
couw Posted March 17, 2004 Report Share Posted March 17, 2004 this is from some time ago. A third rack is on its way. this site has pictures of collections. Some very ordered, some rather messy. Some HUGE, some not so big. I sent in above pic, you can find it under the July 2003 listing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Johnson Posted March 17, 2004 Report Share Posted March 17, 2004 (edited) Alright... First the CDs (sharp-eyed viewers will spot a lot of GD in there, but all the jazz is on top): Records (yes, they're nine feet up and I need a ladder to reach them, but they're part of the decor that way): And, of course, the overflow: Edited March 17, 2004 by Peter Johnson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
couw Posted March 17, 2004 Report Share Posted March 17, 2004 (edited) I see you have your LPs alphabetically ordered as well. The Coltrane Impulses give it away. You can see the same lot of orange/black (with one white/black) spines in my CD rack. Edited March 17, 2004 by couw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Skid Posted March 17, 2004 Report Share Posted March 17, 2004 My meager collection... (only about 1/3 is jazz, but that's growing rapidly...) Brandon -- is that a Pioneer SX-680 receiver?

ghost of miles Posted March 17, 2004 Report Share Posted March 17, 2004 (edited) B, give me your Bing Crosby Columbia box! B) Say, wasn't that Trumbauer done by the same guy that did the Bix? Yeah, I paid an arm and a leg--well, maybe a prosthetic arm and a leg--for the Bix version. Worth it, though, if you're a fan.

BERIGAN Posted March 17, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2004 (edited) B, give me your Bing Crosby Columbia box! B) Say, wasn't that Trumbauer done by the same guy that did the Bix? Yeah, I paid an arm and a leg--well, maybe a prosthetic arm and a leg--for the Bix version. Worth it, though, if you're a fan. Ghost, That is the MCA box set, covering the years 1931 to 1957. Wish someone would do better than just a greatest hits box set, but then again, how could I afford it? Damn, good eyes though! Here is the Columbia Box I do have, just 3 cds, crap sound, but great liner notes from Michael Brooks(who met his hero Bing, to be let down a bit by the real Bing) with may alternate tracks, and rarities, which most people buying set would not be aware of! Dig the lens on my Dad's JBL Speaker! I do believe you are right about the author writing both books. This book kept going up in price, I should have ordered it when I worked at borders! An aside, I used it for years as a training exercise at Borders, I would ask for a book called Tram(Not in the title base, they had to go to Books In Print) So many people know of Bix, Bunny, and Tram, in Atlanta, and yet they don't!
