Read it and weep. Or maybe laugh. Or whatever. Check out this list of our recently acquired music. Remember, any with an asterisk we’ll lovingly blame on Petra B!  Hey, some of those might be good too! See what you think:

Yes I did. On September 9, the Beatles Reissue CDs came out. All the CDs were remastered for better sound than the previous 20+ year-old CD versions. You can buy them separately or in the big box set. Actually there area two box sets, one stereo and one very-limited mono. The mono box went out of print on the first day and the stereo box was sold out everywhere and back-ordered all over the Internet. I called all over town and even the bay area. No luck, sold out everywhere, early that morning. Some stores couldn’t even get a copy.

Finally, on Friday, a local store (R5 Records) got a few in and only one copy was not already reserved. So I grabbed it!

How do you organize yours? Here’s what I do: First off, there are separate spaces for CDs, 12″ vinyl, 7″ vinyl, cassettes, picture discs, items bought but not listened to yet (I know, I know), and of course various extra-cool items are stood up on shelves for display. But within the types, what do you do? People have wrested with this dilemma throughout the ages.

This might be good for a chuckle or four. Check out this list of our recently acquired music. Remember, any that you scoff at, we’ll blame on Petra! 😉  All the good ones are mine, I’m pretty sure…
