How many Lp do U have more than 5 of the Same

I have quite a few and getting more as people give them to me. A few relatives either own or work at disposal company’s and bring me records from time to time. I toss what is crap first then when I have time I will go through to check them against what I already have and for hot stampers ha (a load of crap) before I give them away at Spins on Sunday.

Why would anyone want or 5 or more times the same CD/LP?

Well in my case I don't make a habit of it. However, if an LP is out of print and I have to buy it used, another copy might pop up that is in better condition than the other copy(ies) I have. Such is the case with the Lou Reed lp I mentioned on my list. It's one of my favorites by him and its pretty difficult to find. Most were cut-outs and on my 5th purchase I was finally able to get a clean copy that wasn't a cut-out.

As for the Richard Thompson lp on my list. If you like his music and you haven't heard this lp then its a must have in my opinion. It's a two lp set. The first lp is all of the previously released "I Want to See the Bright Lights Tonight." The second lp side one, offers some rare studio recordings/outtakes. The version of "Ballad of Easy Rider" featuring Sandy Denny will bring you to tears (shortly after I purchased my first copy she passed away). Side four offers two live cuts, "Calvary Cross" and "Night Comes In." Anyone interested in why many feel Richard Thompson is one of the greatest (and sometimes overlooked) guitarists of our time just needs to listen to these two tracks to find out.

10 "Born to Run" including a "scrpt cover" copy in mint condition. 10 copies of Gaslight anthem's "american slang" including several limitted aditions of 500 or less. A multible of Beatles in different box sets, original copies, mfs copies and reissues. Neil young's "After the Gold Rush" and "Harvest" in several different originals, reissues, mfs and a box set. The Rolling Stones's several different albums in box sets, mfs, originals and reissues. I do not see it as a problem, though my wife does.

If she looks the other way she won't see a problem.

I don't 5 of any title. I have several doubles only because I have both the LP and CD version. The only LP I have doubles of is Blind Faith and then only because I wanted one of each cover.

If I get a better sounding dup of an LP I already have, I generally pass on the old one to a tenant of my best friend's. He's a youngin' trying to build a collection on an extremely limited budget and gladly accepts contributions of anything.
