Wow, the Bach, Grateful Dead, and Zappa fans seem to rule the roost of completist collectors here, of those of you who have graciously listed the number of recordings you have by those artists. I wouldn't have guessed Zappa, or Bach for that matter, with not enough Classical music experience under my belt. I would have thought Miles Davis collectors would be more prevalent as there's lots of his stuff out there including live recordings.
Michaellent, I'm two years younger than you and still feel $3.88 is the right price for an album. You and I listened to albums the same way too with the same equipment too. I still feel that gasoline should be no more than $1.29 a gallon at the most too. That day has come around again in some locales, so maybe the price of vinyl records will return to reality too.
Folks, if you really like an artist, if you haven't already, share how many of of his or her recordings you do have, so we can properly admire you and your collecting.
Mike
