xlovecolouredx Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 only 2 choice for this poll. i just threw a towel after i see the blue one of new pulling teeth LP has gone. i'm trying to complete all colours of the LP that i have 1 or 2 colours. anyway,i think pay at one time for pre-order is more clever than hunting it on ebay....

kirbypuckett Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 Even though I have a ton of money, I'm trying to budget myself for when I move out. I only go for one color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 I'm a completist...so I try to get all colors and variations of a record of any of the bands that I am hardcore collecting. It can get pricey at times. But I'm also aware of my monetary limits so there have been a few records that I know I will never be able to get...

Guest vito Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 I can't bring myself to order all colours for releases. I'd rather buy three of four different records than that many variations of the same album; there is just way too much good music out there. I do have some exceptions though, for instance, I own Jesu's self-titled album on both black vinyl and on picture disc because they were different pressings and the picture disc looked really good when it came out a year later. I also own two copies of Minus the Bear's Planet of Ice, simply because it's such a good album I felt like I needed two of them. I just try and focus on getting at least one of every release for bands I love, and that works pretty well for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyle Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 I am only buying one color per title and moving on. There are some exceptions; if I get my hands on a rare pressing, I will sometimes grab a less rare copy to listen to, just to keep the rarer record in better shape. Also, I'm picking up as many variations of the Chuck Ragan records that I can, so long as I get them while they are still available for a few bucks, no ebay. I abandoned trying to collect every color of every HWM record months ago, and sold off many copies I had. Now I have at least one of each record and I'm done. They're pretty much the only band I'd want every single color of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ps Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 Avail is the only band I collect everything of, other than that just one color. But if shipping is cheaper I might pick up multiples for trade or to help someone out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadetapplesauce Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 i do what i can as far as getting all the colors. sometimes its hard, especially with new, unmarked releases. but then again, it has to be a band/record that i REALLY care about. but there are some records i would just like one copy of (ie. i would be fine with just one orange copy of maybe i'll catch fire, and thats it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xfedaykinx Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 i exist somewhere in the middle. ill pick up something i have on a different color if its a good deal, and if i have the money lying around. but i dont sweat it so long as i have at least one copy.

sgoodcore Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 I like to get black copies to play and colors copies to have. I usually pick up all the colors for the bands I like the most but don't worry too much about all the random under 50 variants and such. I also attempt to complete discographies before I attempt to get all the colors of a single release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhulud Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 I'm somewhere between how cadet and xfedaykinx feel...for me, it has to be a band that I am a hardcore fan of and would search everything and anything released...it gets expensive after a while though...right now, I am focusing my search/completion on ISIS and Brand New...yeah, two bands that are not necessarily cheap to complete a collection of...but it's fun and exciting finding good deals on some of their older stuff.

riddle350 Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 I'll only get one color of something. But I'm about to start collecting Saves The Day and Boys Night Out. I'm hoping the new STD will only be on two or three colors. I need to be nice to my wallet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottheisel Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 Minus The Bear's "Planet Of Ice" is actually the first release I've bought more than one variation of -- I bought all four colors of the first pressing. Not sure why I did it, actually, but normally, my opinion is, I'd rather own four different records than own four copies of the same record.

I just end-up spending too much money and buy four different records with four different variations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 im pretty sure the only record that ive gone out of my way to buy more than one copy of is Pennywise - About Time and the second copy i bought was a test press /5. only reason i even bought it is because its the record that got me into punk but other than that id much rather buy different records to listen to rather than have multiple copies of the same record.

katie Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 I don't have the money to buy all the colors. Part time working college students usually don't. Plus I'd rather own four different records than own four copies of the same record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steventangent Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 I think the only time I ordered every color of an album was Right Now, You're In The Best Of Hands. I couldn't resist because BVS breaking up still makes me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
