Welcome to MCDERMOTT'S VINYL SHELF

Note, Dec. 8, 2008: After 27 years of service, my cheapo Gerrard record changer must be said to have bit the dust. A new cartridge, re-soldering the leads from the cartridge to the head shell, etc., finally revealed the beast to also be unable to spin at the proper speed when it spins at all. So I can not offer play ratings for now. Many years as a record collector and radio DJ have left me with a closet full of vinyl. While I've enjoyed these records for years, the fact is, I've had only only one turntable over the past quarter century, but a dozen ways to play CDs; and storage space is a big consideration. We've also enriched our lives by bringing wonderful children into our home, so our joy is your gain! It's time to find homes for these records. Records listed as
