About Me
Hi, nice to meet you!
My name is Ron, a Dutch guy living in Germany since 2009.
I’ve been a collector since 1995 which initially started with a band called Queen. The hobby gradually expanded to other artists, leading to the state I am/my collection is in today.
So what can you expect here in case you haven’t already browsed through some of the pages?
The main purpose of the website is to highlight items and stories related to my collection. In these so-called collection features I try to give as much detailed and interesting information as possible, with the aim of sharing something new to those are not familiar with a given release or item. I personally always like to read about unknown or obscure items myself, hence I decided to try this myself.
Next to these features I want to share detailed information about a number of artists and their releases. The artists are in most cases obscure, unknown or not active anymore. I’ve added them to this website, as I felt that there is not enough information available on the internet, the information is incomplete or not correct.
Yes, you have websites such as Discogs or MusicBrainz and I contribute to both, but I sometimes feel restricted. Hence I have created these pages.
Besides plain information, you will also find scans for most releases. All scans have been taken from my own collection and I have tried to keep the quality as high as possible.
I hope you enjoy going through this website as much as I enjoyed creating it!

Some personal links:
A peak in my room which houses most of my collection. These photos are from April 2024.
You see some promotional posters by Bowie and a signed poster by the Human League. The top white shelf holds cassettes and the one below surround sound releases. The black shelf holds my records and some nice items including a shop display for Genesis’ live album Three Sides Live, a 1993 Charisma compilation CD box, some Genesis box sets, a Queen tour book, a Brian May promotional box for Another World, a shop display for the Police album Zenyattà Mondatta and a green vinyl edition of that same Police album in an orange bag. The final photo arguably has my best items, being three Police prototypes and a signed 7″ in 1979.
A product of its time. This was my dedicated Queen website which I ran from 1997 to 2006 and brought back online in 2014. It hasn’t been updated ever since, nor do I have any intentions to work on it anytime soon. It remains online as a reference guide or to bring back some good old memories.
