[Music] Music Completist

[BrianB]

Or Dennis Brown for that matter!

You can see why both ended up setting up their own labels I suppose.

Did D.E.B. Set his record label up in Thornton Heath ?.. I've wondered if there's connections with Ariwa (sp?) Near selhurst ? .

Possibly, as he was living in England at that time I think. But I don't know to be honest. The last Palace away I went to we got off at Thornton Heath and walked past the Mad Professor's studio on the way to the ground. It felt like a pilgrimage for me

 

[Questions]

King Granite
Royal vole
Jack Mulhearn
Larry and the Vixens
Immi Brandon

All done

 

[METALMICKY]

Stranglers & Maiden

Just add Metallica into that for the perfect triumvirate!

 

[Mellotron]

I’m attempting some level of completionism of the following artists on vinyl;

The Beatles
Radiohead
David Bowie
Interpol - pretty close on this, even got most of the singles and a couple of odd/rarer ones.
Royal Blood

 

[Bry Nylon]

Just Steps and Boyzone for me.

 

[Pevenseagull]

under no circumstances should anyone attempt Robert Pollard/ Guided By Voices/ RP 'side projects'


I have about 900 of the songs in physical form





there are nearly 3,000.

 

[Gwylan]

I have everything by Can and The Velvet Underground but that's about it

As mentioned, I have large amounts of Dennis Brown and Gregory Isaacs but haven't even scratched the surface of their output. And that goes for John Coltrane and Miles Davis too

“Caravan!

I could go on....but the tennis is about to start!!!!!”

Ha - that even sounds like an If I could do it all over again… outtake title… brilliant, and probably deliberately so.


I’d sell the rest, but kudos on the above. I bet you don’t own them all though… come on, even the ‘reunion’ albums and the latter day live albums from back in the day ?

I think you’re trying to pull a cunning stunt, that and caravan are way too mainstream for you surely ?

Lol.


#2eclectic.

I don't think I'm completist for many, HP Lovecraft, The SPecials, Jam, and anyone else who only made 1 or 2 albums! There are a few Caravan gaps, have first three and cunning stunts. Madness up to rise and fall, think I have All the Steve Miller band albums up to Abrcadabra, most artists seem to wane after 3 or 4 albums, or drift off somewhere. . . .or maybe thats my taste drifting.

 

[Peteinblack]

The Stranglers
Wire
Half Man Half Biscuit
Killing Joke
Suede
Linton Kwesi Johnson

Never seen that pressing before?

I think I agree, it was the first one I got, first pressing from Wax Factor in 1990, cost me a tener which was a small fortune at the time.

Recently bought a better copy of the first album ( Which I love) as mine was tired. Grey and pink deserves a mention, thereafter it was a different band and lost its edge.

 

[Super Steve Earle]

Having just about finished ripping all my CD's (yet to start on the vinyl) I notice some artists cropping up again and again in my collection. Nitin Sawhney for example seems to have really grabbed my attention for a period. He's a million miles off my favourite artist though.

Anyway, got me wondering if there's any artists I've 'completed' on. I certainly haven't on the above, or Yann Tiersen, who also crops up quite a lot. A quick look on Discogs tells me I'm fairly close on Four Tet, but not half as close as I thought on Fridge.

So I think I'm probably only 'complete' on The Books and Stimmhorn. This is by chance rather than design, as the output from both is pretty small. I'm not particularly a Completist myself.

Are you a music Completist? If so, what artists have you completed on? I'm talking albums here for simplicity.

I'm a fairly completist on Steve Earle, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Beatles, Zeppelin, Tull, Queen. That's spread over CDs and vinyl. I still have pretty much all my vinyl albums and singles since birth as It was rarely more than 2 or 3 a year of each. Likewise, I have about 450 CDs of which about 330 uploaded on my Cocktail hard drive so far. I love that I can pick an album to play in full or random play tracks from pretty much every CD bought since CDs were introduced and I bought my first decent CD player and CD (Dire Straits obvs).

Since I started ripping my CDs I've also discovered the joys of shuffle play on a Sony Walkman. It's great getting little blasts from the past that I'd almost forgotten about. It has 64gb internal and I put a 500gb sd card in it. Still have about half that storage left, so I'll work on my vinyl next.

Trouble is, the vinyl will have to be ripped in real time. Given that I work full time, I might be a while


P.S. Discovered another artist I've completed on. Bobby Hughes Experience. Given that they only made one album, that was an easy tap in.

 

[tinycowboy]

I would definitely describe myself as a completist but, when I think about it, I don't really have a complete collection of anybody's work, unless we're talking about a few obscure bands that have only released one or two singles. Almost got everything by The Field Mice - missing one obscure 7" on the Caff label. Felt too - just missing one single.

[zefarelly]

French 1970 release

I baulked at a frst pressing of the first album . . .£400 for a good one! The early 70's reissue is good quality

I have Art, Skip Bifferty, Arc and a few other oddities, bands that only ever did one album.

 

[BN9 BHA]

Just Steps and Boyzone for me.

Nothing by Caravan then Bry?

I haven't even started on the vinyl. Not sure how the quality would compare with the CDs on the Cocktail. Mind you, I now realise I am a completist on Kathy Dalton as the owner of 'Amazing', the only album she recorded I think I only bought it because I heard one track and liked the idea of owning a record on Frank Zappa's Discreet label.
