Record Collection

Good morning from Beijing. It's still very early out.

Here are my phonograph records.

I've just started collecting phonograph records, so I don't have much.

The Columbia record are in excellent condition, and some of the others are in good condition, but some are in pretty bad condition.

The album was found from the library's free books area.

I also have a phonograph that I guess is from the 1960s or 1950s, but I'm not sure. It doesn't work very well either, and the turntable sometimes spins and sometimes doesn't. When it spins, the player makes almost no sound at all. If I lean closely to the player I can faintly hear noise from the needle.

If anyone has any questions about these records, I'd be happy to provide the information I know.

I hope to get back to you later today. Thanks.

I hope your record player isn't "eating" up your records. What kind of music is on them? Thanks for showing us BTW.

I do not think it is. It does not work.

There is mostly Opera- boring. There is some mandopop which is very enjoyable... You are welcome! :)

I've really been trying to look for some of Ko Lan's records- also known outside of China as Grace Chang. Very nice music.

I loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Grace Chang. You try and find Wo Yao Ni De Ai. I think it was in the soundtrack for Crazy Rich Asians, too.

Yes. Very rare disc though.
