Since I am not a "hoarder/collector" and only get or keep the ones I like, I have 10 of these.
I have had 3 of these and have sold/traded them (Joni, Dead and AI S/T).
There are a couple I'd like to get eventually; "Rumours" and "Winelight"...OK, maybe the Alice Cooper ones would be cool too,,,but I missed the bandwagon and started my Surround adventure WAY late ..in 2008!
Oh, I'm a terrible hoarder/collector! It drives my partner nuts!
The other day they turned round and said, "one day I'm gonna come home and find you dead and buried under a great big pile of your records that's fallen right on top of you!"
Oops.. :yikes
Oh, that Winelight DVDA in particular is SUPERB, Kap'n! You must get it one day!
Well, its funny you should mention the timing of getting into these things, on reflection, I've been very lucky with the surround collecting as my local Laserdisc emporium, which was literally a 5 minute walk from my house, rather enterprisingly of the proprietor, I thought, started to stock DVDAs when they first came out over here (2001, i think it must have been) so I snapped up things like The Queen A Night At The Opera DVDA from him as soon as they came out (which turned out to be the Elliot Scheiner mix before Brian May got involved! Yeay!) not fully appreciating what these discs could do as I didn't have a DVDA player at the time, only DVDV.
Then when the Elton SACDs started appearing ('03) I got into SACD collecting and just kept on picking up stuff as and when it was my cup of tea.
Buying all the crap I knew I would most likely never listen to (!) has only really kicked in the last few years as the high-res situation just got worse and worse.
I mean, I just bought the Barenaked Ladies Maroon DVDA "for the collection" as it was 'there' and fairly cheap.. well, that's never gonna get played!
