Darn! How could I forget. I collect LPs (long playing records). I also collect 78 rpm records, which I play on a wind-up gramophone, but I don't collect many, because I seldom find any with music that I like (= mostly 20th century classical, FWIW [**]). I also collect CDs, but only if I can't get the recording on LP. I have some 8-track tapes, but I passed up the only player I ever saw and have regretted it ever since... (it was at a car boot sale and I had already bought as much as I could carry home. I hadn't brought the car) Nice. It's not long since my parents got rid of the huge LEC refrigerator that they acquired secondhand in 1973 [*]. Nice beast, but the door latch was broken and would have needed a custom casting to repair. We held it shut with bungee straps for years. Can't remember what finally killed it. Goodness knows what date it was, but I'd guess 1950s. Philip. [*] Bought a house that had been a shop. The fridge had been installed in the shop, and was left in the house by the previous owners. [**] Top of my wish list: Did Bartok ever make a recording of his first or second piano concertos?
