The Clerk's read on this shelf

This shelf moves across 540 records and 329 artists without slowing down. The seventies dominate the space with 130 records, while the 2020s runner-up spot pulls in 98 of them, driven heavily by fifteen King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard releases anchoring a wide modern run from 2012 out to 2023. You've got 256 labels scattered across these bins, balancing massive catalog acts like the Beatles, Bob Dylan, and Pink Floyd against deep modern pressings. The Dylan span covers six albums from 1963 to 1969, and the Beatles run takes seven spots from 1963 through 1970. It's a working collector's crate. You've got the heavyweights up top with King Gizzard, the Beatles, Dylan, Pink Floyd, and the Stooges holding down the top six artist slots, leaving the long tail of 329 total artists to fill in the gaps beneath them. No fluff on this wall — just records that get pulled.

The Clerk's take

The roast

Fifteen King Gizzard records and you're still missing pieces.

Fourteen albums owned from 2012 to 2023, starting with 12 Bar Bruise and ending with Petrodragonic Apocalypse, but you left out Fishing For Fishies and Infest The Rats' Nest. That's a hole right in the middle of the run.

Today's read

The Beatles span from 1963 to 1970.

Introducing... The Beatles out to Let It Be. Seven records sitting right there on the shelf, carrying six decades of weight while fifty-eight other releases from that exact window stay off the radar.

The win

Bob Dylan, 1963 to 1969.

Six records from The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan straight through to Nashville Skyline. The seventies might take the crown with 130 records total, but that six-pack of 60s Dylan anchors the whole rack.

Buried treasure

Pull out the Stooges tonight.

Six records deep into the Stooges and the 1970s sitting at 130 records total as your heaviest decade. Spin it before the tape rots.
