Complete collections
Discussion
Inspired by the Oasis thread ( http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a... ) and apart from one hit wonders, do you have a complete set - or are you aiming to have a complete set - by an artist/band?
I have everything by:
Peter Gabriel
Richard Thompson
Pink Floyd
The Beatles
Nick Drake
The Police
and am currently trying to get a full set by David Bowie and The Rolling Stones.

How complete are we talking? Surely you dont have a copy of each press/version of an album/single for each of those artists?Peter Gabriel

..I'd be interested in seeing pics of your collections, anyway.
Happy to oblige. Although it’s only the CDs: I’m not digging out the old vinyl or DVDs or other bits and bobs. Anyway...

Nice one, thanks. A few of the music forums I go on have 'collection' threads on some are amazing. Infact, koenig999 of this parish could probably impress with his Merzbow collection although I dont think it's complete.The closest I can get to is with 'The Prodigy' where I have the majority of their releases on CD (with the odd duplicate/alternative press) and a reasonable amount on vinyl.
I've been collecting for 39 years. I say 39 as one piece of obscure vinyl eludes me to this day though without it I still regard my collection as complete. Vinyl, CD, bootlegs, obscure pressings, collaborations to other artists obscure or not. Got 'em.
A long time ago I realised the futility of collecting anything but UK releases unless by obscurity of one sort or another recordings were relevant, in which case included to collection.
When I look at what some mean by 'got everything' I'm not convinced they really have. Got every song does not make a true collection if talking discography. But that's no bad thing. It will save you fortunes, much heartache at times, and you will not be facing the problem of what to do with an entirely complete Slade collection where some stuff is worth good money and other stuff just makes up the numbers, and ultimately it's just a dust collecting pile of old records that meant more than the world at times to some middle aged old f
k. Still do actually. So I'm buggered if I know what I'll end up doing with them as I approach my hole in the ground. Would be a burden to leave them to my kids, lol.
