Personally, I've always felt that if I like something and collect it, it's collectable. It's not like there's some Grand Council that decides what you can collect.

Interesting stash. Several of those labels are vertical brands, or vertical brands that are / turned lateral, like Grey Gull. The splatter Pathé's are lateral type.

The swirled Pathés ARE nice... somewhat hard to find in good condition. You also have several records with Carson Robison on them, here's his story: http://nashvillesongwritersfoundation.c ... ry_id=4117

Clover, Q.R.S., Starr and Operaphone are not so common labels...
