description:

I moved from San Francisco to Oakland, California a bit over a year ago. When I did, I had to get rid of quite a few things; mostly books and records. I gave away or sold over 300 LPs and even more books (donated the later to the local library). Anyway, not counting 45s, I have 133 33-1/3 rpm records. This is a selection from that remaining collection...
