The Book

the sweet decal was added in April 1985

About

Sometime in December 1984, I acquired the book pictured above and made the decision to log all of my record purchases for the upcoming year.

Unfortunately, I am no longer in possession of many of the records listed because:

1) In late 1987, after the birth of my first child, I sold most of my albums and CDs to pay medical bills and

2) I had a foolish habit of giving the vinyl albums away once I acquired their digital doppleganger.

Stupid, stupid, stupid.
