Yup, that’s in the overall plan.


If you get 25-30 jukeboxes, you can load them all up!

That's actually something I'd like to do, is get a jukebox for my 45s. I just cataloged them, but I'd like to have a way to easily play them on a whim.

I used to joke with Jimbo that you could make his collection into a museum.

Thought of Jimbo today when I saw that Bic is selling a box of 8 Rolling Stones lighters (various artwork) for $17.89 at Bic.com.
There is also a code (bunny20) to get 20% off anything in their store. I ordered one. I know Jim would've ordered a few sets!

By my count the “Some Girls” box is Jimmy’s fourth Stones set to include a T-shirt inside.

The unboxed shirt in the picture is from the “Totally Stripped” set.

The JIMBO DROP pre-show:

Making room to double the shelve capacity and came across this box. Looks like tons of cool stuff. Including a whole bunch more of the 3’ CDs.

THE FRIDAY NIGHT JIMBO “ MINI” DROP!

I think I literally said “Bingo” out loud when I lifted the cover of the box up and saw these.

Click for full size

All sorts of sampler sets. New Order, O.M.D., Sugarcubes, P.I.L., Stranglers, Simple Minds........ .

A solid early days of rock with Carl Perkins, Richie Valens and Gene Vincent.

Nice Bruce representation.

And count ‘em, eight Rolling Stones entries.

I can’t believe that so many lower profile artists thought it was necessary to offer releases in this medium.

I loved those little, adorable CD3s and had a number of them when they first came out, including the Beatles singles. Foolishly, I got rid of most of them, including the Beatles singles. :( :cry: :facepalm:

Moved boxes of CDs out of the their old spot to make room for more shelves. The Stack will need a new home too. :cry:

Dozens of mixtapes given to Jim from other people who wanted to share the music they loved with him!

This one still has the post it from the person this gift was from on it. Was probably placed on there over thirty years ago. (Those will be in the next photo)


Been getting into Masekela's stuff recently and haven't picked up "Tomorrow" yet. Have heard the Bhundu Boys, great stuff. Hoped Jimbo enjoyed this.

THE GREAT JIMBO “FLEXIPOP” DROP!

If these aren’t the mountaintop of New Wave fandom, I don’t know what are. I heard the Adam And The Ants version is particularly desirable.

I guarantee he loved it, cause he loved all music. And to get a gift of music that he may not have had already would have thrilled him. :ohyes:

A couple more 3” discs in the bottom of the box where I found that other pile of ‘em. These other really wonderful issues were next to them. The Last Waltz one is numbered 1521/3000. Apparently the complete sound board recording. I’ll have to spin that.

Since I blowed up the library to get moving on more shelves I’m gonna do some LITTLE MINI JIMBO DROPS in the meantime.

Like this nice shot of IM which will go right in the “I” section.

Those 2-CD Iron Maiden reissues aren't necessarily big-ticket items but are sought after by collectors. Shouldn't have trouble finding a buyer if you ever decide the big collection needs to downsized a bit. $50 each is not an unreasonable asking price if they are still sealed, and from the picture it looks like they are.

Not surprised to see this at all. I always had the impression that Jimbo had a soft spot for the good old flexi-disks. See the following-

That whole thread is priceless! Can’t believe Jim didn’t fess up his love for the flexis when teed up so perfectly to come clean!

Sitting sipping chai in my break room. I had to get a book shelf for Jimmy’s overflow R&R books. The practice piano and a couple of early posters from The Beach Boys and Mick and we are ready to rock.

JIMBO LITTLE MINI DROP!

Another example of Jimmy’s group purchase tendencies. Four CCR, four New Order, a few 24K Gold discs.

One more before turning in: L.M.J.D.!

Click for full size

Original Fleetwood Mac line up not quite what I’m used to.

Another Steven Wilson.

I didn’t open it yet but I think that “Damage” Sylvain/Fripp album is the one with the gold disc.

The Reba set is really pretty and nicely put together.

But what is that one under the Dan Fogelberg compilation? They look pretty dangerous!
