Unfortunately I now think, I converted all my old LPs and tapes to Cd and scrapped the originals (My wife was sick of the space my Music Centre and collection was consuming).
Divorce seemed too unpleasant an alternative.

I am suprised at what comes up on e.bay. Always worth a quick search and you're more likely to find vinyl than on amazon.

I'm often surprised at some of the prices on amazon, one in particular cought my eye as I have the set, 2 vinyl LPs, Cleo Laine and Ray Charles Porgy and Bess, was on Amazon for £119.

I've found some goodies on ebay from time to time, both jazz and classical, one or two quite obscure items too which I owned in the past and either wore out or "lost" during a divorce.
