What album have you bought in the most different formats.

As I reflected on my musical journey, it occurred to me that I have owned one recording in the following formats over time:

Album original release
Cassette - prerecorded
Cassette - recorded from my vinyl
Reel to reel (recorded on my own R2R from vinyl)
Reel to Reel 4 channel - prerecorded purchase
CD
SACD

And NO, I never did 8 track

Also I now own the recording of the entire tour from which the original vinyl was created

The album - Live at the Fillmore East, by the Allman Brother Band

Does anyone have a similar attachment to a singular musical release?

Sophisticated Beggar - Roy Harper, in order of SQ.

Original 1967 vinyl - raw, detailed, and transparent.

CD 1994 reissue - Sounds good, like original record but with slightly decreased soundstage.

Remastered 2019 vinyl - cleaned up but transparency and soundstage removed in digital processing.

Tidal Hi- Fi 2019 - A zombie clone of the original. Lifeless.
