My new rule regarding this:
Only certain bands/releases and/or circumstances.
I cherish cassette tapes, but these days I ditch a tape if I already have it on either CD or LP.
Having a nice collection is indeed great, but having the same release on multiple formats can just lead to a lot of clutter and make finding shit/organizing a pain in the ass. |

My collection is for sure not stored away in a box in the attic.
And I don't think it's waste of either money or space. But I bet you don't get people who collect coins then? Total waste to spend money on old useless coins, right? |

I have two copies of Sentence Of Death EP, Holland Heavy Metal (Sad Iron / Seducer) and Neuthrone's 2nd 7".
Sometimes I have both LP and CD, because I didn't buy LPs when I was a teenager, so all the good ones had to get into my vinyl collection. |

6 different coloured vinyls for Sabbat - And to praise the sabbatical queen. Also have the CD. I have many different pressings of the same Sabbat releases. I just have many Sabbat releases...
I have all three vinyl versions of Ritual, and one day I'll get the CD-versions as well.
Three vinyl versions of FAOD (2x NWN die-hard + original).
And probably a lot more. If they are good albums I don't mind owning multiple copies. However, there always must be a difference in the pressings, I don't want to own the exact same item twice. |

Zemial - For the glory of UR: Black Vinyl LP, Picture Disc and the Hypervorea CD-Edition.
Blasphemy - FAOD: Original Black Vinyl on Wild Rags, All 4 Die Hard Pic Discs (= 8x FAOD) and the NWN CD. That's overkill, isn't it ? 
Kawir - To Cavirs: Original MLP, A5 Book CD on Nyx and one CD of the 125 copies that were sold at the "Return of the Ancient Ones" Tour.
But these are exceptions. Normally I don't buy more than one of each, as long as it doesn't make sense (like the Messiah CD-Re-Releases with lots of Bonus-tracks).

There are many releases that I have on both cd and vinyl. Like somebody mentioned - lp for the collection and cd for travelling. But only a few releases where I have more than one lp/cd version. Don't see the point of that really.
Any more opinions on gathering multiple versions of the same music?
I could for example never buy 15 versions of Nunslaughter - "Christmassacre", just to get all those different cuts/colours.... |

What's waste of time for you might be a rewarding hobby for some, so why bother? My lp's are not in the attic by the way.

Some people prefer mp3 and say its useless to buy CD or LP (waste of money and wate of space). Some of my fave stuff I have in double or triple. Why (sounds like question from my mummy)? First, all these editions I have got over long period of time. Example: first I got Venom "Black Metal" Neat Italian version, then years later I got a chance to get "BM" first press with embossed cover and poster! Damn great! Then I saw the original PicLP and thats nice too! So thats how I have 3 versions of "BM". Only very SPECIAL albums are collected like that by me.
I definately do not agree this mentality that I have to have all albums by certain band (f.ex. all Venom albums). |

| I have a bunch of stuff on both CD and LP, usually when there is a different bonus track on each formats. Sometimes I'll pick up CD-versions of stuff I already own on vinyl if I come across it cheaply (used bin, NWN-distro, trade) so I have it in a more portable, convenient format, but I'd rather own 10 different releases altogether than 10 different versions of the same release. I also rarely collect every release of a band unless they are all really good. I'd rather buy a good album by an artist not yet represented in my collection over a sub-par release of a band I already have a bunch of albums by just for the sake of completing the collection. |

Ok, thanks.
I think most of us with the "collectors bug" have been manifesting it in some way since we were children. If I wasn't so stuck on collecting music I would certainly collect every release from Colliseum Video (WWF/WWE Wrestling VHS!). |

For me... I can be that way, but it really depends on the band and will only do it for a select few. I would rather get a title I don't have at all, instead of getting a slightly different version of something I already have.
