Yes, though mostly multiple different pressings of the same LP, often different countries or masterings. Most of the time I do this purposely, to find a better sounding copy, though I seem to have a habit of buying records I already own sometimes. In many cases, i haven't gotten rid of the multiples, but have selected the preferred copies, and back-shelved the others.
Multiple copies of the same album?
I’ve accumulated a lot of music in the last 4 decades, and I listen to music via LP, CD and hi-Rez audio. Among all that I only have a handful of titles for which I have copies in multiple formats- for instance, I have one recording in vinyl mono, vinyl stereo, CD and hi-Rez.
For those of you that also listen across multiple formats are multi format versions a small part of your library or do you seem to have a lot of that in your library?

@bdp24 - do you have Fahey’s ’67 version of Death Chants, Breakdowns & Military Waltzes? BTW, your input would be valued here: https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/rythmik-subwoofer @elizabeth - so nice to see you posting again. I got bored with traditional and straight ahead jazz, warhorses, etc. A friend got me into spiritual jazz- check out something like the B side to the Heath Bros "Marchin’ On" on Strata East- a piece called "Smilin' Billy Suite"- it’s a combination of almost classical style with very deft woodwinds. The subgenre has opened a whole new area of listening for me and revived my interest in jazz. |
