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

My apologies as well, but then its also just that, what makes this place here so exiting... and Greg, this outlet you mention at Vorosmarty still exists in so far, in that they carry a very large, international collection of CD's nowadays.

Gentlemen, you are not alone. I grab what I can get of copies of LP's which I like or which I feel will be a good investment in time.

Gregm, you don't need lithium, just play the Oistrakh. I suppose you know about "Mikrokosmos" as a source of Lp's from beyond the curtain? They used to be based in Budapest, now in Toronto. If not, mail Peter Fülöp at mikro@interlog.com and say Detlof sent you. Cheers,

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

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.
