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

So, what is the best sounding copy of DSOTM and Wish You Were Here this side of test pressing? And of Deep Purple "Machine Head" ?

Well Mcallen25, thats interesting. I suppose I could see one (lack of a better word) "obsessed" with trying to find the "ultimate LP", epecially if you have some copies that reveal a big difference in sonics.

I always look on forums for advise & suggestions re. best recorded LP ect,ect... and seek em out on ebay or whatever. I usually do pretty good. The only time I have a second copy is to replace one that I bought in the 70's and is perhaps a little to worn... wooud like to hear from people as to what versions or years are their favorite "best recorded" LP's. Perhaps a different or new thread?

Best DSOTM is the UK first pressing. The Pro Series, MFSL, Centenary, 30th anniversary, etc. copies don't compare.

Actually the MFSL, both releases, aren't that good. IMO, the real bargain is the 30th anniversary which can still be found for under $30.

I have only 2 copies (UK and US first pressings) of WYWH so I'll pass on that.

I solve the issue of buying multiple copies of a LP by entering my LP collection into a database. I use iDBmaster for the iPhone to manage my record collection, so when I go to a record store, I check to see if I already have that LP. This saves me a lot of money. I must mention that I can no longer use iDBmaster because I upgraded to the iPhone 4 and iDBmaster does not work on the iPhone 4. I am now using Bento for iPhone, and I also have Bento 3 on my Mac Book Pro. You can do this with any Database program that supports your mobile device.

To answer Tjnif, I only deliberately seek out two copies of any LP I really like. With pop/rock, however, I just can't resist a really pristine copy when I come across a $1 or $2 copy in the used bins. I suppose I can also rationalize that when I become old and demented, I'll have an inexhaustible stock of pop/rock fom my adolescence plus a few to hand out to the kids. That said, I have five of these:
Led Zep III (including Classic)
Heart Dreamboat Annie
Rickie Lee Jones eponymous
Steely Dan Aja
Pretenders first three releases (including Nautilus)
Rush Permanent Waves (including MoFi)
Wall of Voodoo Dark Continent
Police Regatta De Blanc
