Multiple copies of the same album on vinyl?

I generally collect by label. I will buy multiple copies of the Flyright label specifically the Jay Miller sessions along with the Excello label. Allthough these are in mono, they are far superior than all other vinyl in throwing a soundstage, IMHO.

A few. Mainly because I hit a couple of thrifts every week and I'll buy something I already have if I see one that I know I like and it looks to be in better condition.

I have 2 original Moody Blues "Days of Future Passed" found at different times. One is VG and the other EX. $3.00 total. No big deal to get a 2nd when it's only a buck or 2.

I probably have a half-dozen similar titles.

So, if you guys are looking through a used record bin and you find 3 great copies of a good album, do you find yourself buying all 3?

Wow Elizabeth!!! 7000 in 11 months!?!?! I hope you've got a sturdy record cleaning machine : ) Sean

Yep. I have only three dozen in that category, but that is down by a remarkable fifty just because they were destroyed. Not 'went bad' as you say kindly, but were ruined. Even my wife agrees that it happens enough to buy the cheapest insurance you will ever see.

I own most of the 180 gram offerings of old R&B reissued by Four Men with Beards as well as MFSL and others.

Fortunately, I also have every album I ever bought (beginning in 1967), so there are lots of duplicates. At the risk of starting a firefight, the reissues, IMHO, are rarely sonically superior.

Guilty! I have many multiples of some of my favorites. Some examples are: New Riders of the Purple Sage "Panama Red", "NRPS", Allmans "Eat a Peach", Grateful Dead "American Beauty", "Workingman's Dead", "Blues For Allah", and more classical album duplicates than I can count.
