Multiple copies of the same album on vinyl?

Anybody out there have multiple copies of the same album on vinyl in the event that one goes bad, another is still available? I have a few extra copies of a few things that I got from buying LPs in lots and I am thinking of keeping them for that same reason.

Yep. I have only three dozen in that category, but that is down by a remarkable fifty just because they were destroyed. Not 'went bad' as you say kindly, but were ruined. Even my wife agrees that it happens enough to buy the cheapest insurance you will ever see.

So, if you guys are looking through a used record bin and you find 3 great copies of a good album, do you find yourself buying all 3?

A few. Mainly because I hit a couple of thrifts every week and I'll buy something I already have if I see one that I know I like and it looks to be in better condition.

I have 2 original Moody Blues "Days of Future Passed" found at different times. One is VG and the other EX. $3.00 total. No big deal to get a 2nd when it's only a buck or 2.

I probably have a half-dozen similar titles.
