Currently in absolute shock

My birthday is tomorrow and as a gift from my aunt, I received a box of 60+ 45rpms that used to belong to my uncle. He passed a few years ago and my aunt was holding onto these in case someone in the family would want them.

I started collecting records shortly after he passed and last year my aunt told me she’d send me a few things out of my uncle’s collection if I ever wanted them. I told her I’d love to see what he has, but our difficulty was always figuring out how to mail his albums safely.

I was extremely surprised to pick up a 7 pound box off my porch this morning and open it to all of the 45s. There’s a few Johnny Rivers records in there that got me really excited and a handful of Motown stuff, the Kraftwerk record got me really jumpy too, but most of the music in here is pretty new to me. I’m so excited to go through it all and listen once I have the time.
