Record Collectors (m)
I'm sorry to report that there are no record collectors at all in Orange
County, or, in fact, in all of Southern California. There are two reasons
for this odd situation:
-- because the PVC used to make LP records was an oil by-product, LPs were
outlawed under California's stringent antipollution laws. It was for many
years illegal to own or sell LPs in California.
-- Southern California, long known for its trendiness, banned turntables as
soon as they ceased to be chic. The punishment for owning a turntable in
SouCal is social ostracization.
The combination of the total lack of available LPs to collect and turntables
on which to play the nonexistent LPs has resulted in the paucity of record
collectors in Orange County.
Hoping this helps you in your search,
Greg
