I posted a couple months ago about my recent ‘discovery’ of hiphop group Public Enemy. At this point I have 15 vinyl singles, 5 vinyl albums, a handful of CDs/cassettes and 3 sealed live VHS tapes. I try to only collect sealed or promo copies because those are much more rare than open/regular copies. My crown jewel so far is a good condition vinyl promo of It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back, which is widely regarded as one of the greatest hiphop albums ever.

I’ve picked up pretty much every album/song I’ve wanted so at this point I’m focusing purely on sealed and promo copies. Not sure when I’ll consider my collection complete, but that’s the fun of collecting. The ironic part about it? I don’t own anything that can play vinyl records, CDs, cassettes, or VHS.
