  • Just curious, how can you have 10 or more Velvet Underground or Mission of Burma records?

    I haven't counted in a long time, but I'm quite sure James Brown is in the lead.

    Others with ten or more records:
    Gil Scott-Heron
    Swamp Dogg
    Howlin' Wolf
    Isley Brothers
    Thin Lizzy
    Johnny Cash
    Rolling Stones
    Grass Roots
    Al Green

    A "ten or more" listing might be interesting. I've had ten or more by 6 of the 10 on that list at various times.

    Right now?

    Hypothetically, you've got
    - the four albums they released while they were together
    - the live reunion album from the nineties
    - Live At Max's Kansas City and 1969
    - VU and Another View
    - that 1970 compilation in MGM's Golden Archive series

    That's ten right there.

    And I know I didn't mention the "Quine Tapes" albums, the LP they did without Lou Reed (released only in the UK), plus that Lou Reed & the Velvet Underground album on Pride (I left that one out because I didn't know whether it was a compilation or a straight reish of one of the Verve LP's). So, it can be done...

    Boots, singles, and (in the case of Burma) a set of 8 single-sided etched 12-inch singles.

    The "Sweet Sister Ray" 2LP boot which every real VU fan should have.
    There have been many VU boots and I have a few.

    I have at least 20 VU Boots and almost all of them are essential.

    Sweet Sister Ray is one of the best, and I recommend 'Live '68' for some of the hardest rocking VU. I also like virtually anything from '65 - '66.

    wait...we are talking LPS, right?

  • The more I read others' lists, the more I realize there are artists I've left out.

    I was and still am heavy on the David Bowie. Space Oddity, Ziggy, Man Who Sold The World. All that stuff.

    Kraftwerk
    Giorgio Moroder
    Moody Blues
    Ahmad Jamal
    Yusef Lateef
    Ultramagnetic/Kool Keith
    Francis Lai
    Les Baxter (yeah, I'm heavy on the lounge/exotica music)
    New Order/Joy Division

    I'll probably remember a few more when I take the time out to look at my collection. Again.

    I have 25 Fela Kuti LPs, and I stupidly forgot those when thinking about this question.

    :oof:

    I included CD's and LP's together on my list.

    Wasn't thinking about the forty-fives, which, as you've noted, are another story for another time.

    I think I have 40+ lps

    #2 would probably be Coltrane

    Apparently I am the only Led Zeppelin fan on this site...

    600+ LPs, 300+ 7"s, hundreds of tapes, cds, posters, etc.

  • John Klemmer.

    Prince (about 300 vinyl pieces, no bootleg stuff)

  • this is too good not to post. i started thinking about this question last night for some reason.

    i was thinking my answer would probably be Miles Davis, but after doing some counting, it looks like the artist i have the most records by (NOT including CDs, tapes, etc) is...

    Gary Burton!!!

    Miles was a close second though.

    other artists by whom i have 10 or more records:

    John Coltrane
    Roy Ayers
    Bob Marley
    John McLaughlin
    James Brown
    Earth Wind and Fire
    Stevie Wonder
    Robert Fripp/King Crimson
    Neil Young
    Joni Mitchell

    I'm sure there are some more too.

    most of these artists, there are still LPs that i need by them, too!

    Are you including singles?

    Because as prolific as he is, I still can't see him issuing 300 albums in 32 years without including a mess of bootlegs.

    You're right, my mistake. That's included 12"es, 45s, foreign pressings of the same album (yo...) and all the nerdy picture discs. Been sitting on the shelves for years now as i stopped collecting his record. Anyway, Prince was, towards the end of the eighties, my intro to funk music and to vinyl as a medium.
