jaedong Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Some of the records like Bruce Springsteen's "Born in the USA" or Bob Dylan's "Blood on the Tracks" which were their favorites they did. But they took really great care of all of them so most are in NM to M condition. parents with great taste, very nice. hope they had 2 copies of darkness on the edge of town! it's weird how some people just listen to music less as they get older. my dad doesn't really anymore, but he loved floyd and zappa back in the day and still gets excited when we talk about it. it would've been so fucking cool to get to come home and put on the "new" pink floyd and smoke a joint with your buddies....

niblips Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 I would be surprised in 30 years you listen to Chiodos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niblips Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Yeah, in case I want to listen to them more than once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niblips Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 I own triples of every single release I've bought. How the hell can you people live with yourselves knowing that you don't have a replacement if you destroy your backup copy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niblips Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 No....I don't get the point of this. With the logic of 'in case one gets screwed up', your lives must be whacky. Well I bought 2 new cars in case I crash one, I bought two new tvs in case one falls and breaks, I bought two new dogs in case one gets smacked by a car, etc. This hobby is already expensive as it is these days, I'm not going to drop double the amount on something because shit may, and will, inevitably happen. Sounds like a very expensive, scared way of living life being constantly worried about what happens next and worrying that you haven't planned enough for it. I also find it shitty when this prevents others from enjoying a release. It seems a little selfish and OCD, but thats my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timbrh2001 Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Yes. First and foremost, I buy for the music. Most importantly though, I buy because it glows in the dark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eight1echo Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 I always buy two copies that way I can make a bowl with the second copy and eat popcorn out of it while I listen to the record and read the thread about it on VC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roygbiv Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Depends who and what the record is really, wouldn't do it for everything I bought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bladewillisisdead Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 I don't see anything wrong with picking up an extra of an album you really love. Yeah chances are you'll never need it. But shit happens in life and it'd suck to have something happen to a record only to find its hard to come by another copy. Of course buying two copies of EVERY RECORD you pick up would be insane.

Requiescat Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 I pick up multiple copies of records I really enjoy and listen to a lot but it's pretty rare that I do that. I just like to have a back-up copy just in case the original wears out from being spun so much. Maybe it's overkill but it makes me feel a little better and I can afford it so whatever. Things like Pixies' Doolittle MFSL, Daïtro's split with Sed Non Satiata (actually own 4 copies, 2 of each USA & European pressings... kind of collect that one though), The Bled's Pass The Flask would be another example of one I play at least once a week... I do own about 6 copies of Steely Dan's Aja as well but that's because I was upgrading copies to better pressings or better condition... not sure if that counts since they're different pressings/editions.

psus2h Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Yeah but different versions. For instance I have two copies of MOP by Metallica. The new 45 RPM pressing by Warner and a first pressing from Elektra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caninesapien Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 I have two copies of Thin Lizzy's Live and Dangerous, because my first copy was in poor shape. I also have two copies of Harvey Milk - Courtesy and Good Will Toward Men after I was initially sent a wrong pressing by the label. Used to have two copies of Beth Orton - Central Reservation until I cleaned one up and sold the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8ight Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 I could never financially justify buying two copies of the same album. I have three duplicates, but that's because they were free. I wouldn't sell them since they're damaged, so I figure one day maybe I'll give them to someone I meet who wants them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leisurejunkie Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 No, just one copy. I already have to be selective with what I buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhcp02 Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 2 blink self titled one from 2011 & the splatter 2 blink toypaj one w 3 7s & splatter 2 sublime 40 oz one pic disc & one cranberry 2005 reissue. Prob gonna end up havin 2 blink buddahs & 2 neighborhoods when the splatters come out since I have the split buddah & original ht pressing of neighborhoods. Had 2 lp hybrid theories since I had the rsd version & the ht clear but kept the ht version & 2 stp purple but got rid or the original when the purple ht one came out. Blink & sublime would be the only ones id keep for doubles since their rare as shit. Ill prob buy a 3rd 40 oz if it comes out again since I missed the ht 2011 reissue. Lol. At least I got the robbin the hood ht 2011 reissue. Also had 2 deftones white ponies & got rid of the black when the ht grey came out.
