It's a new year, and that means it's time for the annual thread where we post lists of all the audio goodies we collected in the previous 12 months, for everyone to "ooh" and "ahh" over.
2021 was a decent collecting year for me. Thankfully my local used music/book store was back in business after a Covid-enforced break, so I was a regular visitor there throughout the year. (As always, scrounging in a real store is WAY more fun than ordering shit online and then waiting for it to come in the mail).
I completed my Raven, Black Sabbath, Aerosmith, Black N Blue, and Led Zeppelin studio discographies this year. I'm not sure yet which bands I'm going to concentrate on in 2022.
I also bought more live bootlegs in the past year than I have in the previous ten. I don't go out of my way to collect boots, but I can't resist'em when I come across them in my travels.
I don't think I beat my 2020 total but I'm pretty sure I came close. Anyway, here's my list, which as usual will look like small potatoes once Eyesore, Manny, or exact33 post their hauls
