record collector

Amasses music discs

A record collector is someone who accumulates vinyl records as a hobby, typically focusing on particular genres, artists, or eras.

The pursuit often involves hunting through secondhand shops and estate sales for rare pressings or first editions.

Record collectors range from casual enthusiasts to obsessives who catalog thousands of albums: He's a serious record collector—his basement is floor-to-ceiling vinyl.
