The Jeanne Jones Collection

We lost Jeanne Jones in February, she was a longtime collector and fixture of the film music community. Please see this lovely reminiscence from filmmaker Willard Carroll. (Above is a picture of us from an event of some kind 10–20 years ago, I wish I knew which one!)

This might be something folks expected, but we have her CD collection and it is next up at FSMCDs.com. But it is so huge that we need to make some changes in how we do things.

Jeanne was an incredible personality as far as the breadth, depth and detail of her collection. She saved and documented everything. Fortunately, she had a devoted group of friends who have gone through her holdings to get everything to the best place.

As far as CDs, Jeanne was a dealer as well as a collector—and we’re still making sense of it all, but it appears to be her dealer inventory as much as her personal collection. We estimate it might be over 10,000 items.

There are literally thousands of FYC promos, industry CDRs, cut-outs, sealed items, and even sealed longboxes and cassettes.

We were planning to move into office space this month, as FSMCDs.com has grown beyond my ability to operate it here from our house. But this is taking longer than expected: L.A. commercial real estate prices are insane, and the space I’m trying to rent would come through a personal collection.

So we are bursting at the seams here, and we need to start selling Jeanne’s collection in sections—literally as fast as we can process it. Because there simply isn’t the space to have all the boxes on tables and be able to pull items as people order!

We will start with the bulk of the A through C titles tomorrow, March 17, 2026, going live as we usually do at 10AM Pacific / 1PM Eastern. There are over 1,500 listings.

After that, you can plan on another tranche going live every two weeks, at the same time: Tuesdays at 10AM Pacific / 1PM Eastern.

Anything else that comes in, we’ll go live with on those dates too. I hope the two-week intervals are good enough for people to recover!

Thank you and see you tomorrow—and, as always, thinking of Jeanne.
