I worked in record retail for 30+ years, including 21 years with Tower Records. I saved just about every promotional item that interested me, resulting in my current collection. I have +/- 20,000 CDs, 5,000 LPs, 2,000 45 RPM singles and thousands of music memorabilia items.

My specialty is Springsteen, and I have an expansive collection of Bruce LPs, CDs, and other memorabilia. Several thousand items in all, including 100's of original rare bootleg CDs from the 90's.

At least 100,000? With 20,000 CDs, and at least 10,000 vinyl items. the rest is made up of magazines, buttons, clothing, various printed items, posters, autographs, platinum albums and more.

90% is in my home in Rockland County. The LPs are at my brothers home in upstate NY.

I had to convert our 1-car garage into my music room over a decade ago, and lined 1 wall with floor-to-ceiling, sliding racks for CDs. I have recently started to part with some memorabilia..I look at this as a way to spread the joy of collecting by getting nice items into the hands of deserving fans.
