collecting variants/ complete-ism

[pjaicomo]

I just can't help but laugh when variant collectors whine about labels pressing more variants.

One copy of a record is good enough for me. I'd rather buy 20 good records than 1 record 20 times.

Wow. Good point. I wonder why no one has brought that up yet.

"I'd rather have X different records, than X versions of one record."

i own some variants by accident. sometimes i forget i already own a record and i buy it again. who knows maybe it could turn into a thing and i could become a serious variant collector, maybe

yeah I don't think collecting variants is greedy, maybe a tad bit obsessive-compulsive, but not greedy. the only variants I collect are my own damn releases and that retarded Jud Jud collection I have(and there's only like 8 variants).

It's a personal choice thing, I don't fault people for collecting variants, but I don't completely understand it either.

sweet! we gonna work out a deal on a personalized black mamba test now?

I have done this several times as well.

I've always stood behind this concept, granted I am guilty of owning 3 or 4 variations of a single record. But I would rather spend my money on as many records as I can since there's so many good ones out there.
