When is the right time to stop collecting records and instead start to get rid of them?
Recently I bought some CDs from a seller located in my country. It was Mikamikaidan and some Keiji Haino and Fushitsusha records. After perfect transaction I was curious to ask him, why he would even sell such great records. That was something I couldn't even imagine doing myself.
He answered..."Well, I am turning 75 this year and am still a huge fan of this kind of music, but I know nobody in my surroundings, who also likes this music." And that he always had a huge collection of experimental, noise and whatever records.
But then he decided to make a big the sell-off, as long as he still can. Somebody else should have fun with the records, instead of them being scrapped after his death.
I think this is a great and noble idea, to let others enjoy those records,after you're gone.
But I myself cannot imagine, when there would be the right time to stop collecting and instead start to sell your records for the ones who maybe desperately need and enjoy them for the rest of their lifes.
I'm afraid my noise and smut will be scrapped after my last farewell.
What do you think?
