I never loan out LPs. Never have.
Who knows what they're gonna get played on?
About 12 years ago, some guy sold his classical collection to a local record store. Sticker with his name on all of them.

Records and books - they come and go. There's a genuine pleasure in recommending something to a friend that you know will enjoy it. It's worth the risk.

Like many of you I've been collecting records since the 60s. During the Great Digression (aka the CD era) I slowed down but never completely stopped. I've loaned out many that didn't make it home, and I've picked up a few along the way that I've no idea where they came from.

No regrets.
