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.

64 Coltrane albums. REAL albums, vinyl only. Loved the late 80's early 90's...everyone told me I was crazy and a dinosaur for preferring vinyl because CD's were the "perfect sound forever." Meanwhile, I spent every Saturday buying up vinyl on the cheap. And my prized possession from those trips is an absolutely mint condition original orange label Impulse pressing of "A Love Supreme." Paid a whopping 6 bucks for that one and will never sell it. (although I might consider trading it straight up for a mint condition Conrad Johnson PV-5 :)
Middlemass, you're closing in on Coltranes complete major label repertoire ac,cording to my checklist. I think I've seventy-four albums of his on that list although a few like the Wilbur Hardens might have been originally listed under other's names as the bandleader. It's especially impressive you've all vinyl copies. I've twenty of my forty-eight Coltrane's on CD's now. Most of the rest were bought before the advent of CD's, but either too hard to find in good condition or way too expensive in vinyl nowadays.

Hey Mike,I forgot to include his records with the Miles Davis group and I have all those on vinyl, also. Guess I’m pretty close.
Lee Morgan is my most collected artist.  I have everything that he recorded as a leader that is available.

I am also well into collecting everything he ever recorded as a sideman.
