The most copies of the same record? and howcome?

1. 2xLP - bought when it came out.
2. Japanese import CD (with b-sides cd)
3. Sealed LP (when the other wears out)
4. Test pressing LP (geeking out)

Why? I keep coming back and this record never lets me down.

1) Cheap vinyl
2) Used CD
3) Another used Cd because my CDs are so numerous and unorganized that I sometimes forget I own stuff
4) The new reissue CD version of the Stones stuff, which I am trying to buy most of.

1) original Candlelight version (CANDLE008), bought within a week of release (massive hype + 18 month delay = huge frustration)
2) 1998 remastered version (with those two terrible covers tacked on)
3) another original in a 20 disc ebay bulk purchase two years ago

Don't be so hard on yourself! If you're right then you've saved the lives of thousands of people. OK, actually one plane's worth, unless you ended up being a miraculous survivor.

1. Fetish records 'backwards version'
2. Celluloid records 'bootleg version' with white cover
3. Fetish records repress - purchased at record fair purely cus the previous owner stashed a couple of nude pix of cosey from some cheezy 70's porn mag inside the sleeve.
4. 5 albums Box Set Version
5. CD Version

No original first press version :-(

I have two copies of a couples things, an LP and a CD, but that's it. I think I can fairly say I've re-bought my last record.

1. ordered from online
2. bought cheap record of it before my cd came in
3. bought cheap cd of it before my cd came in.

Loose Joints - "Is it all over my face"

1) West End re-release version
2) Original - found in charity shop
3) On "Larry Levan" west end comp
4) Unreleased version on Loft comp

Raze - "Break 4 Love"

1) Cheap 7" from charity shop
2) Upgrade to 12" from charity shop
3) On "Greatest hits of house" comp
4) 1990 remix 12" from charity shop
5) Less scratched copy of 1990 remix
6) Hip House comp

Quantity: At least 50 of the little bastards.

Reason: I was the vocalist with the band and co-producer of the fanzine and ultimately we couldn't even give all 2,500 of the fuckin' 'orrible things away!

In second place:

Item: "New Rose" by The Damned

Quantity: (off the top of my head)
1 x original single (scratched and worn to a frazzle)
1 x replacement for original single
1 x (French?) import
1 x copy from box set of 1st 10 Stiff Records singles
1 x reissue in white vinyl
1 x reissue on *red* vinyl
1 x reissue with bonus single ("I'm So Bored")
1 x reissue on 12" with Neat Neat Neat

Of course this doesn't include the number of times I have the song on the original album (2 vinyl copies, 1 CD), on Peel / radio session EP's, albums and CD's, Damned compilations, Damned live albums and bootlegs and videos (and now a DVD!), other punk compilations etc. etc.

Reason: apart from being a great song, it changed my life.

Yes I was quite into the Beta Band at this time...

- had taped copy off a friend
- bought cassette copy which later lost its box and broke
- bought cheap vinyl for 20p in MVE
- bought used CD of Behaviour and discovered it had "Introspective" inside. Decided to honour mistake as a hidden intention.
- (yesterday) found the 2CD reissue cheap and since I've really enjoyed i) the bonus discs and ii) the re-mastering on the other PSB reissues I decided to pick it up.

I think the "end-of-the-world" thing went out the window the instant they chucked out Mike E. Clark and started chasing rap-rock trends instead of making gooney carnival music. They went from bringing about the end of the world to BEING the end of the world.

HAHA Matt with one innocent sentence you have reignited my ICP interest all over again!!!!!!

Go with God.

i also have 3 copies of maiden voyage, 2lps and 1 cd

i had 1 box each of two versions of digable planets 9th wonder, which i have been slowly selling off in sets of 4. why? they were in a dumpster

there are other threads about this

ah, how about Psychocandy?

1) Original vinyl
2) Cassette edition, on holiday for the hire car
3) CD with extra track
4) Freebie version with The Times, without extra track I think (never liked SCT enough)
5) Another version on CD bought as a cheap ebay auction along with Darklands CD which I didn't have at the time.
6) Soon come - the deluxe edition with extra Cd and a DVD too.

Didn't get: the 'remastered' version as the USA version was a dualdisk with videos and I thought it was a swizz the UK didn't get the same. Also, a nice "Original albums" little box with five CDs in, mainly because I had all five already and it wasn't cheap enough.

Those "five" CD boxes are nice, I have Lou Reed, Patti Smith and Henry Mancini versions..

I have two copies of some Sunburned Hand of the Man LP because I forgot I had already bought it so I bought another copy

Baden Powell: Canto on Guitar

1) Got it as a used vinyl, fell in love with it.
2) Wanted to have a better quality version of it, so bought a CD version.
3) Noted that Canto, alongside 3 other Baden Powell albums, had been remastered and collected as a 2CD compilation. Bought it because of the other 3 albums. However, I gave the earlier CD to my gf, so I still only have two copies of the album.

i have 8 copies of both the orig broadway cast of "jacques brel is alive and well and living in paris" and "everything you ever wanted to hear on the moog *but were afraid to ask" because both of them were uber formative records for me when i was idk 6 or so (explains a lot really) and i have some weird paranoia about never ever finding them again, so i buy them every time i see them.

Love "Jacques Brel is Alive..." but wau. Thats's a bigass box/lotta shelf space.
