Do you mean you sold your Nat King Cole 45rpm LP set?

That must have been a tough decision.

Yes, but not before making a perfect recording of it onto really good tape to play on our Revox, where its analogue magnificence lives on :)

Is that legal?

Yes. Has been for a few years now.

(At least ripping a copy of a CD or DVD for personal use at home has been legal since the Digital Economy Act of June 2010.)

Yes but are you not suppose to own the record still? Also this is tape recording of vinyl so is not digital.

Frankly I don't care as much as you do. (It's personal use and not Piracy and we know that Clare paid for the originals, so it's not a matter of musicians not getting paid royalties.)

Maybe the mods should remove Clare's post on the subject if you are going to get this obsessed about it.

Jesus wept , I give up I really do.

Why? It's a perfectly legitimate question and the same basic situation we all react to whenever someone says "I've ripped all my CDs to flac where can I sell them?" or something like that. There's no real difference.

Of course now we know Clare still owns the CD so it's irrelevant.
