My (small, but growing) collection consists approximately of:

75% - Pre-WWII large band
15% - Pre-WWII small groups
5% - 1920s-1930s large band or small groups
2% - Post-WWII large band or small groups
2% - Blues (all types/time-periods)
1% - Other (remixes, weird stuff).

Are you including your entire collection or just the portion that you consider part of your swing dj book?

Roy, you slay me.

How about "100% of stuff I've collected over the years". I honestly don't have the stamina to catalog everything like that. I just happy to remember what I have.
