That's some committed collecting right there
Always said to myself I'd snap certain things up on vinyl in a second even though I don't currently have the means to play them. Think like many collectors we've sometimes got as much of a fetish, for want of a better word, for these shiny artifacts themselves as we have for what's on them.
And yup, occasionally fond of a bit of VHS action myself. With some movies, especially old creaky horror films, the lower resolution can sometimes add to the creepy atmosphere. Suppose it sometimes allows us to leave more to our imaginations when we can't see everything in crystal clear high-def. Can't abide watching panned and scanned viddies though. Feel like I've been robbed by some philistine of half the film.
