Depends why you’re buying it. In my case, I might have all but 1 or 2 cd’s from an artists studio discography so I’ll go and get the missing ones. I will play them and in some cases have found them to be dire efforts, not to be played in my house again if I can help it. However, I am happy knowing I have all their studio albums.
Other reasons to collect are available.
Indeed, I am not a collector
I do have album of his, I don’t recall its name - includes No woman no cry. Whist I love that track, the rest didn’t inspire me to go for more .
Edit: seeing the pic of Legends above, I think it is that album.
Bob Marley Legend?
I have two of those .
I mentioned it on the basis of being a big selling record and in the context of the discussion re commonality amongst record collections. Imo it’s the one Reggae album that’s most likely to appear in a broad range of record collections especially amongst those who aren’t fans of either BMW or the genre.
It’s a great compilation for casual fans and an introduction, but as a hard core Reggae fan myself their are more rewarding BMW albums imo
I have 3 from your list, it could be 4 but my record collection is so big I cant remember, will have to go and check 
Yes, I have Legend. I also have early Ska and Reggae, Peter Tosh, Burning Spear, Prince Buster etc 
I do have DSOTM again. I actually gave away my original copy because I thought the recording was impeccable but musically it didn’t grab me and I thought it boring. It seems a bit more interesting these days on a massively better system.
The Beatless have never interested me and never will. Ever. 
So we all have DSOTM and Legend, but the opposite question may be more interesting: What is the rarest, most uncommon album in you collection? The one you will not find in another 10,000 album collection.
And of course you cannot stream that rare beauty.
Pacific Eardrum - Beyond Panic
I definitely don’t have DSOTM.
Sorry if I offended you.
Taj Mahal - Going Home
No digital version at all.
Never Lost For Words by Ranting Sleazos
His recent anti-vaxxer and views of the pandemic are pretty extreme…
Sounds like the topic for a new thread.
There are two very special ways to listen to my collection, both with friends and we have lots of fun. Remember my collection is CDs only, about 2500 of them.
In mode 1, somebody will start with a track and then somebody else will continue with another track, and everybody will try to guess what is the connection. Sometimes banal, sometimes sophisticated, sometimes weird. Lots of fun.
In mode 2, my friends will search for the most unexpected disc and play a track. I am requested to declare album, artist and title. I seldom fail.
So how does any one of us know what is obscure to others?
One possibility: Liaison and Studio Masters - but then it’s not really an album in the normal sense, as they never had an album, this being a collection of their releases.
Yes, what’s obscure to one wont be to another eg as I mentioned earlier being a committed and deep fan of Reggae (more correctly Jamaican music as Reggae is a broad pigeonhole). So my collection will be full of stuff on really obscure labels from Jamaica that most listeners on the forum will never have heard of. Probably the majority of my collection wont be found in some others 10,000 collection as asked by @Rafael
Conversely a lot of stuff that is obviously very common to many listeners here wont be in my collection, I havent heard, and therefore is obscure to me
