My music collection
Welcome to my music collection page! This is a catalogue of all the physical music media that I own. I started collecting vinyl in earnest in around 2023 and I think it's a great way to show my love of these albums, as well as future proof them from the whims of streaming services. Each image featured here is a real photograph of the exact copy that I have, so you can see details like saw cuts and scuff marks. My collection is by no means pristine and perfect and I think that gives it a lot of character.
Hint: Hover over an album to see my favorite track off it and other notes!
