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

I went and purchased two more John Coltrane CD’s, "Blue Train" and "Traneing In", in spite of, relative to other artists, having way too many of his albums already. I do love his music and just now counted having forty-eight of his albums, not even including the ones he recorded with Miles Davis.

Is there anyone else out there at least equally nutty, or has more recordings by any single artist, band or composer? If so, who do you like, and how many of their albums have you collected and play? Miles Davis at thirty-three records and CD’s, comes in a not too distant second in my collection.

Hopefully this topic hasn’t been broached before here.

skyscraper,

"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.

Slim Whitman: 217 and counting.

Mostly on K-Tel records. More #1 hits than Elvis and the Beatles combined.

Followed by Zamfir: Master of the pan flute.

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

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

For just Beethoven string quartet box sets, I have the Vegh Quartet, Quartetto Italiano, Tokyo Quartet, and Hollywood Quartet (maybe something else I cannot recall off the top of my head).
