almightyseancore Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 no really, i want to know! do you keep them with the artist you bought them for, or do they have their own special place? how do you organize them? i keep them separate from my 7"s, because i don't like to play favorites, and none of them are in any particular order. fortunately i don't have any split 12"s or 10"s to worry about yet.

Guest Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 I put them with the artist that originally inspired me to purchase it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monsterrod Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 I don't necessarily go with the artist I originally purchased the split for, but the artist I'm going to want to listen to the most. For instance, I bought the Ink&Lead/Sister Kisser split awhile back for the Ink&Lead stuff but after hearing the Sister Kisser side I knew I'd be looking to listen to Sister Kisser more, so I filed it in the "S" section. I love being a nerd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manicdogbert Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 i go with the band i bought it for. and if i like both bands, i put it with the band i have the least records from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dethrock Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 I never really thought about this before haha. I have my Broadway Calls splits under Broadway Calls because that's who I bought them for and their one of my favorite bands. But then I have the Maker/The Story So Far split that I bought for The Story So Far but I filed it under Maker because I have another Maker 7". Now I have the new Story So Far/Morgan Foster split on the way, so I don't know what I'm going to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astrangerwithcandy Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 I have a separate shelf for splits and I organize them by whichever band / musician is the A-Side. If an A- Side isn't defined I revert to which band I originally bought it for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nico Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Always buy two copies, so I can store them with both bands and I can always find it when I want to listen to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottheisel Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 I have a separate shelf for splits and I organize them by whichever band / musician is the A-Side. If an A- Side isn't defined I revert to which band I originally bought it for. This is exactly how I do it, however in a few rare cases I will let the "band that I bought it for" overrule the "A-side band" in order to keep a specific band's splits grouped together (all the Braid splits come to mind, for example).

serum7 Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 It's either band I bought it for or if I like both, A-side band. OR in the instance I like both, but only own stuff from one band I'll file it with the band I already own stuff from just because it's easier to find among the other releases.

derkwithano Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 a few rules I guess I go by: 1) If I get a split for a band I love and the other band on the split is one I don't know well, I always file it under that band I bought it for, even if the other band I don't know well is the A-side band. 2) If I like both bands, I usually put it with whatever band I have more releases by. 3) If I have no releases be either band but like both...I just file it under the band that has whatever song I think is better. hahah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plasma36 Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Usually whichever band is on the A-side, except my Kursk/Defeatist split is next to the Defeatist EP I have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sugarballs Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 I organize them both on my df list and in their cabinet the same way: Splits - Which ever band is on side A - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only exception I have like that is the Crime In Stereo / KYI split because I have the spraypainted cover version that just has CIS on the front.
