No need to refer to something you wouldn't choose to do as "completely retarded". 
 
Those 45s are all beyond repair and/or listenable so I chose to use them as decoration to surround my music listening area with music.

We just moved into a new house. Here's an idea of how the basement is shaping up:

i agree with this to an extent. i mean far be it from me to judge what someone should be stoked about being reissued. i guess it just strikes me as a total major label cash in thing. record store day, fleetwood mac represses, its all steeped in the ability of major labels to make more money off something again AND again, when perfectly acceptable copies of it exist, at half the price, all over the world.  
 
the real issue is misguided people who think its worthwhile to press something over and over again to appease "collectors" whose collection is the 15 versions of the same record that only came out 18 months earlier. now THATS a waste of resources. 

As far as what's getting remastered/released being a sign that it's gone too far, I disagree.
 
When anything gets re-released or remastered on any format, for me it's a matter of "one mans treasure...". While I personally might not have any interest in a remaster/re-release of The Gambler, I bet it made someone else's day. The Mo-Fi Silver Label releases are a good example of this IMO. I was super excited to see the re-releases on stuff like Cyndi Lauper and Tears For Fears material whereas some others might think it's comical. By the same token, there's plenty of stuff showing up in the bins that I have less than zero interest in and wish other records were in their place.

My only complete LP by an artist (so far) is Guns N' Roses:
 

 
Live Like A Suicide
Appetite For Destruction (Original cover, with hype sticker, sealed)
Appetite For Destruction (180)
GN'R Lies
Use Your Illusion I (2 LP, 180)
Use Your Illusion II (2LP, 180)
The Spaghetti Incident
Live Era '87 - '93 (4LP) 
Chinese Democracy (2LP, 180)

I'd really like to see Get Behind My Satan for RSD. It's the only Stripes record I don't have yet and I really dig a lot of tunes on it.
