I have 3 boxes of very old (1920’s 78’s and forward) vinyl records that are in unknown condition, though likely not the greatest. Before I throw them out, I thought I would make one final inquiry, to the great minds of ibrattleboro, as to whether or not there might be some possible use for them. I have been assured by several pretty reliable sources that they are not aware of any people or places that would want them. It seems just wrong to me that there is not a use for them, either through some creative recycling purpose or as records, but it appears that is the probably case. Please, if anyone has any possible ideas, let me know here. Thanks so much!!

There might be some gems
I would think a number of people might be interested.
WVEW has some DJ’s who specialize in old music who might like to go through the collection.
The Historical Society might find a few period tunes useful (they could digitize them and play some old pop music in the History Center).
WVEW
Years ago I donated much of my vinyl to WVEW, but lots were ruined in the Brooks House fire. Give them a call 246 6107.
records
I have never been to a flea market where there wasn’t at least one person selling (and I would guess buying) 33’s. Too bad it is late in the season but I bet you have some indoors ones as we do in New Hampshire. Good Luck. I loved mine as well but the CD’s are so cheap and when I tried to digitize my stuff, all the songs that I loves most were pretty much unlistenable.
In the Moment
Take em downtown to Brattleboro’s very own record store. Byron will let you know if they are worth saving.
unfortunately
In the Moment was one of those reliable sources who felt there weren’t likely to be any uses for them.
makes sense
Right. Not really re-sellable. And too thick to mold into chips bowls. : )
I think the person who will want them loves old audio for fun not profit. Just need to find them. Names of songs and artists might get those people’s interest.
