well, I think the gesture is devalued if you intentionally go shop for a record to give instead of something you have in your own collection. Have to sit on the thought more.
I think that depends. If you think you have a feel for the person based on what they've posted here then I think it's pretty cool that you would go out and pick something up intentionally for them. I feel I could do this for any number of Hubski users. In fact, I already know what I would get for lil. I own it but I'd go buy it for her too.
I'm trying to downsize. I love my records, but I can't see taking them with me on my next move or expanding my collection. On the other hand -- I would treasure anything from the great tng. (I'd be very happy with your next CD!) Anyway, one step at a time. First I have to pull out my Zombies & VU and give them one last play!! Then find a record store and ask them for a record mailer. . . .
Wait, lil, if you are trying to get rid of records and have lots of give away, please please please talk to me about your collection, what you'd be willing to part with, and how much you'd like from each record. Depends on what you have. I have about 100 albums in my collection. I wouldn't mind more.
I have just the album for you. My wife and I listen to it often, the album art alone is worth getting the album. I'm excited to send it to you. As for the next tng album, I'm sorry to disappoint but I'm only releasing it on vinyl and mp3. No CD's anymore. I can't tell you the last time I bought a CD.
