“Your shelves are dominated by a massive, monolithic obsession with the Liverpool lineage. The 1960s hold the weight here with 57 records, acting as the foundation for the 48-strong 1970s block that follows. It's a tight, focused narrative that centers entirely on the McCartney-Harrison axis, which is either a brilliant strategy or a total fucking blind spot depending on how you look at it. While you’ve curated an impressive 41-record run for The Beatles and a comprehensive 15-record sequence for Wings, the collection feels like a fever dream of a single label's A&R department. Having 40 artists total across 119 records means that once you exit the shadow of the Fab Four, the rest of the shelf is spread pretty thin. You’ve got the core, for sure, but the lack of deviation is almost mental. You clearly aren't looking for variety; you're looking for the complete document of a specific point in time. It's a top-heavy, pedigree-driven archive that knows exactly what it wants to be. Just make sure you actually play that fucking George Harrison gear instead of just shelving it like a trophy.”
