Being a gloomy day, and thus reluctant to head out doors, I decided to re-organize a portion of my satellite classical collection. Re-organize may be a bit of an overstatement, as most of these LPs were purchased and placed on a shelf over the years, with no further attention. Presently I have a stack of 40 or so Deutsche Grammophon LPs, mostly 1960’s Tulip Red Stereo releases that need to be cleaned archived and properly stored. Properly stored, a challenge as my classical is scattered about, and it is now time to consolidate, and pull the duplicates. Seems I have plenty of Karajan Beethoven Symphony series, DG 138 801 - 808, on hand including “safety" copies.
Looking for ideas on the best way to organize these. My first thought is by label, then composer, then conductor/soloist. Open to suggestions. My best guess is all in I have 2,000+ LPs to go through. This activity should keep me out of trouble for some time.
