Most recordings you own by a single artist, group, or composer

boxer12,

I do not live in Princeton, but I was in town for some university-related thing. The store was truly an experience. I had an impression I would find anything I could think of, no matter how unusual it may be.

skyscraper,

If you are the Rolling Stones fan and you have never heard "(Si Si) Je Suis un Rock Star", you have not missed that much. It is as far from Let It Bleed as, I do not know what really. Maybe Giorgio Moroder? Still, if you have nothing to do, it may be a worthwhile novelty. Talk about being a completist, it gets you up there for a few dollars. Of course, you have to get 12" version, which is a dance one, I guess. But, they are from around $3.

Also, his Willie and the Poor Boys was an interesting endeavour. (Charlie Watts, Chris Rea, Jimmy Page, etc.)

He even published a book about the blues, Mississippi and that area, which was quite informative and nice. I would recommend it as a quick read and look.

I have the feeling only one pan flute was ever made.

Zamfir got it.

Zamfir, K-Tel, now that is some memory machine.

"Glupson, are you counting the Stones solo efforts in your 47 albums."

I did not count solo albums, but I did count compilations. Things I wasted money on over time. I did not even count all the LPs that duplicate CDs and SACDs (except for Exile on Main Street as I digitized different versions from vinyl).

Which Bill Wyman album do you have? Well, I do have something as unusual. Bill Wyman’s 12" single of "(Si Si) Je Suis un Rock Star". Heard it once in a disco. Saw it once at Princeton Record Exchange many years later. I guess it was waiting for me. I just noticed they go for 50 cents, or not much more, on discogs. Obviously not much demand.

I expected there would be many Grateful Dead followers with a lots of recordings, but Frank Zappa surprised me.

"...together they’ve played on approximately 200,000 tracks, and that doesn’t count remixes, versions, and dubs."

At 3 minutes a track, that is 416 days of uninterrupted playing. Not accounting for recording time which must be in multiples of it. Now, that is prolific.

"The next biggest amount of material I have is of the great Chillean pianist Claudio Arrau. Sadly I doubt if we will ever see their like again."

Claudio Arrau with Staatskapelle Dresden, Beethoven’s 5th piano concert. It does not get any better than that. I have ony 15 versions to compare, though.

Otherwise,

Gustav Mahler (far from my favorite one) 37

Kris Kristofferson 27 (not counting duplicates in multiple, or even same, format)

The Rolling Stones 47 (including 4 different versions of Exile on the Main Street which I do not particularly like)

Bob Dylan 50 (not including 2 versions of Blonde on Blonde on SACD and Blood on the Tracks cassette, LP, CD, SACD, and Mini Disc, missing 8-track)


Leonard Cohen everything on CD, remastered CD, one single (small size) CD, and LPs (two LP versions each of the older ones and one each of last 5, or so, albums)

I actually like disco.
