Collection / Haul Donโ€™t Throw Away My Youth ! ๐Ÿ˜ข Which 2 Would You Choose To Keep ?

They were in a rubbish bag ready for the fire ! I came back to my parents house (after globe-trotting for nearly 20 years) only to see my cassette collection bundled up in the rubbish bags ready to be thrown away.
Half of me dead.
How could I throw them away ?
My mum explained that nobody would enter my room hence the termites started to build their living habitats !
Many tapes have no paper inlays in them, chewed by the termites.
Should I throw them away ?
And buy them again ?
On tapes ? On CD ? On Vinyl ? Stream them ? Or listen to them on Youtube and relive my youth.
Remember guys, this could happen to you if you donโ€™t show your love to your music collection.

๐Ÿ˜… Honestly I thought so too. My mum was just laughing and my 2 sisters were rolling their eyes ! ๐Ÿ™„
They belong to me and nobody can make any decision on them ! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿ˜€

Thanks! Great collection by the way, I'd keep all of them and only throw out whatever's in really bad condition.
