_jr_ Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 I've owned a lot of albums through the years. Some have made the trek with me through all the phases of technology. Just to name a few: On 8-track, then album, then tape, then cd, I've owned all of Aerosmith's 70's stuff, Ted Nugent, Kiss, etc. Anyone else have cds now, that they also owned on albun, tape, 8-track, and for you reaalllyy old folks (blues, Unc ), reel to reel?

I have two or three copies of The Doors Greatest Hits, one on tape and two on CD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 Oh, plenty of them... to begin with Beatles, of course... had to buy some vinyls twice, have everything on tapes (great for travelling) and I have everything on cd too. My Sticky Fingers... I already talked about that... The first Led Zeppelin... Making Movies, Parallel Lines, The Cars "Shake it up"... I still keep some vinyls though I use the cds, but usually when I have two copies of the same record I give one to some friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pepper's and Beatles For Sale - The Beatles Billion Dollar Babies - Alice Cooper Destroyer and Dynasty - KISS Discovery - ELO Bolan Boogie - T-Rex Arrival - ABBA Goodbye Yellowbrick Road - Elton John I missed the vinyl decade though, so nearly everything I have is on cd or in mp3 form.

Uncle Joe Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 Well Jr., I skipped the 8 track phase. But vinyl, reel-reel (home-made of course) , cassette, CD I've owned quite a few. The Temptations, The Four Tops, The Skyliners, The Platters, Blood, Sweat and Tears, Joni Mitchell, The Stones, The Beatles...just to name a very few.

RonJonSurfer Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 The first album I ever owner was Space Oddity. I had to buy it a second time on vinyl, then, of course, on CD. I have duplicated my entire Beatles collection on CD too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawna Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 I have all of Stevie Nicks' albums on vinyl and CD. I even have a 45 of "Silver Springs" - the original version that was supposed to go on "Rumours." I also have all the CDs for those albums... but I can't bear to part with the originals.

bluesboy Posted November 14, 2005 Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 I'm kinda in the same boat as Uncle Joe and Edna I've had hundreds of albums, dozens of 8 tracks, hundreds of cassette tapes, bought top-of-the-line dual cassette decks for home recording equipment and started making my own tapes with the blessing Congress and the sound recording act of 1971. Purchased hundreds of cds. Lots were the same album on cassette and cd. One genre example would be... some country-rock albums ~ Eagles, Byrds, Gram Parsons, Flying Burrito Bros, Buffalo Springfield, Commander Cody, Linda Ronstadt, Emmylou Harris, Rick Nelson, the Band, Ry Cooder, Dan Hicks, Poco, New Riders of the Purple Sage, Grateful Dead, Charlie Daniels, Marshall Tucker, Neil Young, Crosby, Stills and Nash, Loggins & Messina, Taj Mahal...

miamisammy29 Posted November 14, 2005 Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 The Stones' "Hot Rocks (1964-1971)". I have had this one on 8-track, cassette, vinyl, and now CD. It was a double-album squeezed onto one 8-track tape, so the tape kept breaking. It was a piece-of-sh*t ABCKO tape. I must've bought this one seven (7) times on 8-track alone, a couple-three times on cassette, and once on vinyl album. It was only about 8 or 10 bucks back then, but now it's $32.95 on CD....bast*rds! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenny Posted November 14, 2005 Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 I am slowly getting all of Billy Joel's collection on CD. I haven't really bought any on CD that I already have on tape, but once I get the complete set, I'll start backfilling. Same for John Cougar Mellencamp. Is there a Led Zep box set I could get? I just found out that my husband is a big Led Zep fan, but I have seen nary a cassette or CD by them in his collection. I think it's because he wore the tapes out. If I could get a box set for X-Mas, that would be great. If not, I'll just get them individually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daslied Posted November 14, 2005 Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 There are many. This one is probably the most comprehensive: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000002IWP/103-8036751-3669410?v=glance&s=music&vi=samples#disc_1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenny Posted November 14, 2005 Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 Exactly how long have you known this dude? We've been married six years, been together 11. Ask him what my favorite bands/musicians are and see if he can name two...... Seriously, though, most of his collection is on tape and I think he wore the tapes out. Since we've been together, he has not bought one LZ CD and recently told someone that they were one of his favorite bands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usernameddr Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 I never bought any vinyls and all the CDs I have are greatest hits of 8 bands on one CD. But I believe my dad bought Fleetwood Mac Rumours on CD and vinyl. But I do have some of the same songs on vinyls and CD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
