Just something for 
VinylFurs : a fraction of my LPs. It's my French section plus the first few letters of my English section, as it was up to year 2000. The top row is a few unsorted finds.

I didn't collect many records until I got a record player to play them on (Christmas present in 2014). Some are recent purchases and re-releases, some are original. Quite a few were from Goodwill and other thrift stores where I made some quite interesting finds.
That's a lot. The most I ever had was about the bottom three rows of what you have there. That was back in the '90s. I parted with all but what fits onto a 30-inch wide shelf back in 1998, because I moved to a much smaller place. Most were simply donated. I still regret parting with some of them.
If you start listening to them right now, from beginning to end, without skipping any, and not counting while you were sleeping, it would probably take almost five full years! That doesn't count any additional that you might accumulate in that time, and it assumes each of the 30,000 LPs is a single album. In reality, many or probably double albums, or sometimes more. You also probably have a job, so there 40 hours a week that you can't be listening. Gee, it might actually take ten years to listen to that many fully from start to finish. The college radio station I worked back in the '80s only had about 8,000, and I thought that was a lot at the time.
The government is now charging you a two-cent tax, per album, per year. Pay up! :)

I can only imagine the amount of space required to store the collection, and their combined weight. I still remember lugging boxes full of LPs up four flights of stairs one year, when I was in college. It was only something like 50 per box, but that became tiring very fast. Needless to say, I went for first floor dorm rooms after that.
