“Your collection is essentially a shrine to the collapse and aftermath of the biggest band in human history. With 129 records total across 45 artists, you've spent an incredible amount of energy mapping out the Liverpool diaspora. The 1960s and 1970s account for 111 of your 129 records, which shows you’ve got a clear mission. You aren't just buying records; you're cataloging the studio ecosystem of Emerick, McDonald, and Scott. It’s a disciplined, obsessive run. You’ve got the Wings timeline covered from Wild Life to Back To The Egg, which is a fucking deep dive into Macca’s post-Beatles identity crisis. When you look at the 42 Beatles records, you’re basically looking at the evolution of modern recording right there. Most people have a few greatest hits compilations, but you’ve got the full, messy, glorious streak. It’s focused, it’s narrow, and it’s undeniably thorough. Just make sure you don't wear out the grooves on these before you pick up something from a different decade, yeah?”
