What do you do with hand me down records?

The crappy stuff that you get from family or friends when they say "Oh, I have some records you can have."

I'm staring at the following and don't know wtf to do with them...

Patsy Cline - Her Legendary Recordings
Bobby Vinton - Ballads of Love
The Legendary Jim Reeves
Barbara Mandrell - Country Class
...and eight or nine Julio Iglesias records.

Agree 100%. I have a HUGE collection of records that you'd never think I would use. I've sample all kinds of cool shit from the oddest of recordings.

Producing is fun.

yeah keep them.. you never know when they might come in handy.... or if one might become a collectable (you might be suprised one day when everyone thinks that Patsy Cline was the best singer of all time... in a galaxy Far Far away....)

this isnt even a question for me. id keep them hands down. theres really no debate. the older i get, the older my taste in music grows. im constantly looking for the old classic rather than the latest and greatest. when you hear all the songs kanye samples, its more proof that you need to keep an open ear.

I do not know why i am doing this. Cube save those records one day they will be worth money look at it like saving trading cards

And like every one says you can use them for samples and loops
