INDEX TO COLLECTION OF RECORDS

Preamble:

After having music in my life for 65 years(1943-2008) and after collecting records for 40 years(1965-2005), the time finally arrived to index the collection I had acquired. By 2005 CDs, at least for me, were replacing LPs as a source of new recorded music. A separate collection of some 15 CDs is now found in the chest of drawers near the radio in the dining room. Cassette tapes had begun to be a source of music already by the 1960s and I now have some 30 cassette tapes found in that same place in the dining-room. This index does not include these CDs and the cassette tapes or, indeed, the 3 mini-discs acquired when I was a presenter of programs at City Park Radio from 2001-2004. At a future time I hope to index the CDs and the cassette tapes. Much of the material on the CDs, the cassette tapes and the mini-discs is not music, but other types of recorded resources: talks, radio programs, et cetera.



There are three sections for the records in this collection: (A) popular, (B) classical and © 45s. They are all kept in my study beside a small inexpensive($40 in 2008) Jensen turntable radio/phonograph at 6 Reece Street in George Town Tasmania. The index for this collection is alphabetical by: author/composer/writer/singer/artist. In the popular section the first name of the author/singer is often used for the base of the indexed item; for example, "Joan" in Joan Baez;. In the classical section the index is entirely based on the last name.—Ron Price, 1 September, 2008.
