Lifer This is the kind of collector whose vinyl records are their prized possessions. Each vinyl record occupies a pride of place in the record collection and their hearts.
Obsessive They will collect just about anything they can get their hands on, sometimes even stuff that does not particularly interest them.
Completist Such a collector will compulsively ‘need’ to own the entire catalog of a certain artist, whether they actually want to or not.
Audiophile This is the kind of collector that is far more interested in the sound of a record.
Casual This is the kind of collector who simply buys a handful of their favorite records, maybe starting with a few a year.
Limited Edition Someone who hankers only for the extremely rare and limited edition copies of albums.
Nostalgist This is a person that is usually on the younger side of adulthood, exploring vinyl and audiophilia as a means to express themselves.
