Most recordings you own by a single artist, group, or composer

I went and purchased two more John Coltrane CD’s, "Blue Train" and "Traneing In", in spite of, relative to other artists, having way too many of his albums already. I do love his music and just now counted having forty-eight of his albums, not even including the ones he recorded with Miles Davis.

Is there anyone else out there at least equally nutty, or has more recordings by any single artist, band or composer? If so, who do you like, and how many of their albums have you collected and play? Miles Davis at thirty-three records and CD’s, comes in a not too distant second in my collection.

Hopefully this topic hasn’t been broached before here.

She/they are fabulous, but I think of her as Music Video, as their concerts are sooo well filmed/recorded,

I put the DVD on before going to my CD's.
When I stopped buying CD's, I started buying Music DVDs

#1 favorite is Sophie Milman, Montreal, holy smoke is it good!!!

I do very well buying used DVD's, LP's, R2R tapes, Books on Amazon, other places. I put them in a nice binder with the paper label/info, throw the hard case away.

did anyone mention Tony Bennett? I have CD's but even better, a lot of Tony R2R, saw him live around 6 times, when he could still fill Radio City with his voice without a mic. I think those days are over.
