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.

Brian Eno, King Crimson, Beatles, Peter Gabriel. 

My son introduced me to Grandmaster Flash and Dr. Dre.  Need to branch out from there.  #oldmendodorapnhiphop

ZAPPA.
I have  more than 70 Zappa and a few related LPs.  (Flo and Eddie, grandmothers of invention....) Zappa released +/-100 albums before he passed. The family has released a lot more since then.
I have more than one copy of walkajawaka, uncle meat, orchestral favorites, 200 Motels and my favorite, Sleep Dirt.  I bought Freak Out in 1968 from the cut-out-bin when I worked at JC Penney. I was just 18 yrs old. It was $3.88, a lot of cash when min pay was $1.00.   It's mono - no longer playable but I still have it. I had a portable record player. I would lie on the floor and put the speakers next to my ears and Blast. What... Ugh, I can't hear you?

Why do you think I got the nickname Bent?
