Completionist Tendencies?

highscheme

Now I know that some of you have extremely deep crates so these lists might be long, but aside from picking up classics/ExtremelyRareFire??? what labels/artists do you search for no matter what? 1. Fondle 'Em (almost complete...gotta couple more to go)2. 45King....I pick up pretty much anything I find from him3. Devin the Dude...always grab anything he's on4. Now Again....I like this label cause it's probably the only time I'm gonna hear these joints5. Boards of Canada...not too large a body of work and I like their sound a lot6. Money Studies...first got into records by reading the reviews on Labcabin in high school and their releases are always pretty interesting and diverseI also collect a couple of Japanese Hip Hop labels & artists since I'm living in Japanpeace..

survival
orion
ak-ba
mustivec (steve reid's label)
world artists (walter zuber armstrong's label)
strata-east (getting closer!!)
chatham square (ditto)

Pretty much any jazz or electronic label I like with a small catalog.

Labels like Impulse also of course but that will never be "complete."

James Brown 45s
Syl Johnson 45s
Curtis Mayfield LPs
Any 45 label which seems necessary
etc

I've been trying to get away from the completionist thing in certain categories. do i really need every barry white lp? answer: no.

Anything I see on one of Bo Dud's labels (Dud Sound, TDS, etc.) - if I see it, I buy it without asking any questions (apart from how much it costs!).
