me too - in my late teens, as I was getting into avant & jazz & stuff - I hocked most of my death metal & black metal CDs - I now regret it as, only a few years later did I totally get back into my death metal & miss many of the great albums I had..... unfortunately this was in the days before ripping - otherwise I would have made copies of them 'just in case'..... :(
Some years ago, I gave away half of my record collection since I couldn't afford to move it all across the country. Among them were several of the Zorn Parachute labels LPs, which I regret. OTOH, at least they went to people who would appreciate them. The *other* half of the collection was later stolen, so I don't know what happened to them. I get an image of some unknown person sitting somewhere in Texas staring at what he got, either enlightened or baffled.
