I’m on the hunt for forgotten records! Since I travel the world a lot, I get the chance to visit record shops big and small, where I spend some time in the used vinyl section—especially looking at the ones nobody wants anymore. They’re sold for free or for a nominal fee. They’re tucked away in a corner, under the main counter, often invisible at first or second glance. Some are irreparably scratched, others have labels scribbled on with a pen. But each one holds a story within it. And I’m discovering those stories and describing them here. In this collection, you’ll find artists whom probably no one remembers anymore, and whose songs aren’t played by any radio station in the world. You’ll also find records that have traveled thousands of kilometers only to end up in the most unexpected place. You can learn a great deal from them, too. I invite you on a journey through the Collection of Forgotten Albums.
