Original 6-eye Columbia for "Time Out" and "Time Further Out" is obtainable because Columbia is a big label that released a lot of copies of their major stars (unlike hunting down original Blue Note). I think they both sound really good and are better than the reissues (probably an issue of the master tapes degrading a bit over time). Columbia did fantastic sounding recordings back then. When I want to show someone how little has been done in sixty years to improve the state of the art in recording, I take out an original 6-eye Ellington "Blues in Orbit" (stereo), to make my case.
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.
