Multiple Copies Of LP s Same Title


A short note to see how perverse my record collecting is.

I have the worst habit of buying multiple copies of the same title especially if they are rare, and or sought after.

I feel that they are not going to get any cheaper, and there will be a day when we never see some of them again. If a rare LP is presented to me from my UK Sellers, and or found in the Shop's I just have to buy it (Regardless of how many copies I have).

I thought of this last night as I was play grading my third Atlantic Plum Label Yes - Fragile copy.

Just wondering if there are others like me out there.

Thanks,

David

Well Greg, what a great pleasure. My late wife was Hungarian and when in Budapest I one day discovered his shop at Dob Utca in the old ghetto of B. We soon truly befriended each other and hence did not lose touch, after he and his family emigrated to Toronto. He still owns the shop in Budapest. So if you should be back in "Mitteleuropa", it is stocked with good and very fairly priced stuff. Its about a ten minutes walk from Vacy ut, near the main synagogue. Best regards, KD
Detlof, my firm used to have an office in Budapest, wish I'd known of the shop, I would've visited. Since I'm going to be in Prague and Vienna the beginning of June, any suggestions on good record stores there?
Rcprince, I am so sorry not to be able to help you along. I used Vienna solely as a stopover on my way to Budapest and Prague is still on my "to visit" list. However, if you are not on a too tight a schedule, Budapest is only about 250km from Vienna, as you know and a wonderful city to visit anyway.
Rcprince, if do you hit B/pest, there used to be a main outlet for Hungaroton at a central square (called Vorosmarty) diagonally opposite a famous coffee & pastry shop re-named Gerbeaud. All this is very close to Dob utca (=street) Detlof refers to. At Gerbeaud's, intellectuals used to order their coffee in the morning, take a sip and read the papers, leave to do business, return and find their table and coffee still waiting! Great cake (called "russian") and Montblanc.

I could also suggest you stay at the Intercon: it faces the Danube and is at walking distance from a commercial area (Vacy utca, as Detlof notes)...
I thoroughly agree with Detlof, you'll have a very nice time...

Detlof, I lived in B/pest for 6 yrs as a teenager... the world is, indeed, a small place!!! Udvozlom kedves uram!

Pls excuse me, Djohn & others, for being off topic (This takes me back in time).
Thanks for your tolerance.
Greg.
