This is my "record" collection index. Actually these are all Compact Discs; I do have a dozen or so of the old grooved vinyl things which I haven't bothered to add here yet.
I only have artist, title, and release year for each disc. Yes, these are sorted, but the sort criteria are not obvious ("it would take a scientist to explain ...").
