I was aware you had a huge collection but can you match 700 by the same artist?
By the way, should we have a whip round for @BertBird ? I thought he had the largest collection here but he says he has less than 32. Perhaps he would have had a few more if he spent less time at Hi Fi shows?
Whaaaaaattt. That must have been a full time occupation.
Dylan nil, Van 9. I was thinking not much point in buying any more Van as 9 albums is enough. I obviously donât know what Iâm doing.
Peak count is BB King at a measly 19. Can anyone go lower for their favourite artist?
Just counted my Dylan album collection and it comes in at 120 albums. Of which the 1974 tour official release boxset accounts for 27 albums.
Whatâs holding you back?
More a man after my own heart.
I consider my modest collection, by forum standards, to be carefully curated.
I can honestly say that all but a dozen or so of my albums/CDâs were considered purchases. Of those few that werenât, offhand I canât recall any that were pleasant surprises but several were bad enough to make me weary of impulse buys.
I am at 92 CDs. Dylans I mean.
A CD a day keeps the doctor away.
Is that blue triangle label.
I used to own a copy of that, definitely sounds better than later issues.
I own three Dob Dylan albums.
I have no intention of ever, ever listened to any of them.
Does that make me a Bob Dylan collector. 
I must admit I have never counted my CD/LP collection.
It is probably about One to Two thousand collected over 50 years. I thought I had a huge collection, but I am just a dabbler, it would seem.
I disagree. Addicts are incredibly well-regulated people who very much micro control their environment at all times and are highly skilled at justifying that micro-management and the decision making process. I worked closely with my workplace DAAT (Drug and Alcohol Team) for about 8 years as I matrix managed 2 staff within their environment. The first thing you learn is that the idea that a characteristic of addiction is a chaotic lifestyle is overwhelmingly nonsense.
Itâs why just over 1 in 10 people in employment are functioning class A addicts but most people who work with them donât notice.
Consequently the idea that someone has a large collection which they will overwhelmingly only ever have the time to look at rather than listen absolutely chimes with the concept of addiction on multiple fronts.
You need help! 
I have experienced this as well multiple times⌠until they loose control, which more often than not happens. Still donât think that vinyl collection and drug addiction belongs into the same context 
No Dylan for me as well. Just doesnât resonate at all with my brain. A non-collector of Dylan hereâŚ.
I have just 31 Dylan CDs! Iâm beginning to wonder whether I can call myself a fan.
Very addicts lose control. People think an addict who doesnât do what they want is someone who has lost control when the exact opposite is true. Itâs why most of them live long and productive lives. Youâre peddling a decades old version of addiction which is simply not supported by the reality.
Still waiting to hear someone explain the value in having music collections of the size weâre talking here. As noted earlier, people are free to spend their money as they wish but the explanations so obviously and repeatedly lack credibility and sound like a lack of self awareness. The mirroring of the explanations given by addicts is uncanny and entirely relevant.
Iâm on another forum which is dedicated to one particular musician (neither Dylan nor Floyd!) and plenty of people on there own single copies of limited edition releases they bought more or less on release day and havenât even taken the shrink wrap off. They seem mystified by others saying this is bizarre and inexplicable. Personally, I agree with the latter opinion!
