Multiple Copies Of LP s Same Title

A short note to see how perverse my record collecting is.

I have the worst habit of buying multiple copies of the same title especially if they are rare, and or sought after.

I feel that they are not going to get any cheaper, and there will be a day when we never see some of them again. If a rare LP is presented to me from my UK Sellers, and or found in the Shop's I just have to buy it (Regardless of how many copies I have).

I thought of this last night as I was play grading my third Atlantic Plum Label Yes - Fragile copy.

Just wondering if there are others like me out there.

Thanks,

David

That's the spirit, David! Often two copies in my case -- but can do better. Recently discovered I have 4 copies pf Haendel's Messiah. Same performance, different issues.
Things get worse with multiple performances (& copies) of the same piece... 14 versions of Beethoven's Violin Concerto.

Cheers!

Rcprince, if do you hit B/pest, there used to be a main outlet for Hungaroton at a central square (called Vorosmarty) diagonally opposite a famous coffee & pastry shop re-named Gerbeaud. All this is very close to Dob utca (=street) Detlof refers to. At Gerbeaud's, intellectuals used to order their coffee in the morning, take a sip and read the papers, leave to do business, return and find their table and coffee still waiting! Great cake (called "russian") and Montblanc.

I could also suggest you stay at the Intercon: it faces the Danube and is at walking distance from a commercial area (Vacy utca, as Detlof notes)...
I thoroughly agree with Detlof, you'll have a very nice time...

Detlof, I lived in B/pest for 6 yrs as a teenager... the world is, indeed, a small place!!! Udvozlom kedves uram!

Pls excuse me, Djohn & others, for being off topic (This takes me back in time).
Thanks for your tolerance.
Greg.

Khawk2, I just recovered from a severe attack of choking after reading yr post. BTW, is that the 50's recording of Tchaikovski's violin c. w/ F. Reiner???

Detlof, I'm going back to lithium....

Cheers!

Thanks, Khawk! Indeed, I have been looking for years..! You wouldn't consider sharing your Significant Other and son, I suppose??? The team has very rare title-finding skills:-)

BTW, for T's violin concerto, I can also recommend: D Oistrakh / Moscow Sate Phil./G Rozhdestvensky (1968, Melodia).
Regards to all!

Detlof, thank you! But how on EARTH did you unearth Fulop Peter! I used to live in Mitteleuropa; it was only through a Hungarian friend I heard about him (and subsequently lost trace).

I will certainly mail; thank you most sincerely for allowing your personal recommendation.

Best regards,
Greg.
