Minutemen's Double Nickels, which I misplaced the disc for a year or two and then broke down and bought another copy. when I moved I finally found the lost disc back behind the dresser, but it was all scratched up and barely playable anyway.
Elvis Costello's My Aim Is True, which I bought on cassette on a whim years and years ago, and just finally replaced with the new Rhino version on CD.
and I guess different versions of an album don't really count, but I just got a mixtape of the instrumentals from Jay-Z's Black Album.

I've bought Cocteau Twins' "Head Over Heal" three times: first time, I returned it full price because I didn't like it, second time was for the remaster because I thought maybe I'd like the sound then, third time is because I thought maybe the remaster made it worse than it originally was.

many a cd will have to be burned due to this sad, sad fact.
I bought ATLiens used at a streetlight because I lost my other copy, then promptly lost it again. Upset by this development, I picked up the newly released Stankonia, only to lose that one about 3 weeks later. I haven't bought an outkast album since..
the only record I can think off the top of my head other than that is surrender by chemical bros.

2-Psychocandy- vinyl, cdMarquee Moon- cd, remastered cdBlood and Chocolate- cd, remastered cd
tons of Dylan and Beatles,- vinyl to cdLots of Husker Du, Go-Go's, American Music Club and Big Black,- vinyl to cd
In my defence, the vinyl that a lot of 80s stuff was pressed on was appalling and just sounded dreadful, particularly when played on cheap hi-fi equipment.
umm... froSTed, which I had to get a friend to bring back from the US in those pre-internet days, only to find several copies about a year later for a quid each or something ridiculous. I bought about three because I couldn't bear to see them left on the shelf. Planned to give them away but realised that no-one else gave a flying fuck about them.
