Question is, should I
a) bring them and my turntable and hope I can get it to work?
b) bring them and plan to get a new turntable in Canada
c) Forget them and try and source the music on cd/download sometime (if ever and could be costly)
I'm not going to be pushed for space as the shipping company have informed me I need a 40 ft container!
Answers on a postcard please........

the collectors dream!
If you have many British albums then i would sell them when you get here because they will probably get more. I was a fool ans sold my whole collection to a dealer. If only i had registered on ebay before. You can sell snow to an Eskimo on there.
might be worth a try. good luck

Re: what to do with my record collection?
I say bring the records over. We brought a couple of hundred albums over, didn't listen to them for a decade, then bought a second hand turntable a few weeks ago. Have to admit, hooked up to a good system, they sound awesome 
Then last week my husband found and bought a collection of 450 albums, many sealed, and all in great condition, for $400 on Craigslist!
Needless to add we're approaching our mid-40s......
