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.

Wfw, you’re right about there "never being enough Duke" Just played his first LP, "Masterpieces" from maybe 1950 or so, this evening. Wish I had your collection of fifty. rather than only three.

Gyelsten, that is an amazing number of Sun Ra albums. I’ve been trying to expand the range of jazz artists I’ve recordings from and Sun Ra is on the list. Could you recommend a couple of your favorites to try. Thanks.

Syntax, you’ve thoroughly disgraced yourself with your lack of obsessiveness, except if you only own four albums. To be fair I’ve only one Elvis myself, the Sun Sessions.

Jkf011, I’ve some XTC and multitudes of Pink Floyd, but never heard of the Proclaimers. Have to look them up tomorrow as you obviously have good taste.
