After two years of collecting, with some of the records both expensive and hard to find in decent condition, I have finally completed the crown jewel of my collection:
The complete discography of Pink Floyd on vinyl!
As you can see above, I also have the Four-vinyl box set of "Echoes", and as seen below, I also have "Relics" from 1971, the "Masters of Rock"-compilation from 1970, "A Collection of Great Dance Songs", the 1981 compilation which is the only LP to date which has the single edit of "Another Brick in the Wall (Pt 2)", and David Gilmours fantastic solo album "On An Island" on 180g vinyl.
I am so happy!

Hi Christian,
Thanks for the link. yes I have purchased Lps from this seller too.
Wow, I just knew that Greatest Hits Part III is double album in the way to make a better pressing (not because of the tracks lenght, as they have for part 2). It can be seen that each side only contains 4 tracks where normally it can cater to 7 tracks.
I do notice that many recent albums are relased in two version, i.e single vinyl or double pressed vinyl. Hence the price is diferent. ![[Cool]](cool.gif)
Here is probably not a cup of tea of many members here, but I have also completed my "Jamiroquoai" album on vinyls.
They are:
- Jamiroquai "Synchronized" (2LP)
- Jamiroquai "Travelling Without Moving"
- Jamiroquai "the Return of Space Cowboy" (2LP)
- Jamiroquai "Emergency on Planet Earth" (2LP)
- Jamiroquai "Dynamite" (2LP)
- Jamiroquai "A funk Odyssey" (2LP)
- Jamiroquai "Late Night Tales" (3LP)
not part of album, so don't need to count:
- Jamiroquai "Little L" (12")
- Jamiroquai "Deeper Underground" (12")
Jamiroquai Discography from wikipedia
and here is the picture (lucky I took this picutre before leaving for Canada ![[Wink]](wink.gif) )
His latest album (compilation) "High Times" which was released in 2006, is not pressed on Vinyl. So I cannot do more, unless someone know that certain country still pressed it (Christian do you know that many Latin America countries are still pressing vinyls. But the quality is so-so. However for a completish it is the only way ![[Razz]](tongue.gif) ).
cheers,

Same to me too Christian, I am quite selective in buying vinyls. Talking about Michael Jackson, I once have completed his album until "HIStory" on vinyls but when his album was getting really weird, I didn't buy again.
BTW...
quote:
I dont need "A Nice Pair", as I have the original albums that the set consisted of
Yeah, "Nice Pair" is a combination of 2 old album "Piper at the Gates of Dawn" (1967) and "A Saucerful of Secrets For a pure" (1968). But for a completish, you still have to have it
BTW< you haven't answered my question, do you mind with country of pressing of can be from any countries?
cheers,

Now, it is my turn to announce my last purchase which has been my dream so long. It is Def Leppard "Hysteria", the band's best album, which wikipedia says:
quote:
It is the band's best-selling album to date, selling over 20 million copies worldwide, and spawning seven hit singles.
Def Leppard "Hysteria" in Wikipedia
All tracks in this album are hit and even they were released as individual single.
As you know that for one LP with 12 tracks (62 minutes duration) may have been too crowded and resulting low gain for sound output.
I love all their tracks but searching for individual single (7"), it will a real burden for me (i.e. time, money and postage).
Until finally in 2003, "Simply Vinyl" (now has been a deceased company) released a limited double vinyl set for the same album. So each side contains only 3-4 tracks.
But "Simply Vinyl" only released this in very limited numbers and it has long gone. I have been searching this album using Ebay saved search feature and it never comes up for about 4 years, until 2 weeks ago, it appeared on Ebay.
I was so astonished and another plus thing was the seller lived in Canada (means no duty/tax) and moreover, the city was the same with mine (no postage). So I have contacted him if I could pick this up if I won the item and he was OK.
So I placed my bid with full highest bid I had after removing the entire possibility burden from shipping cost and import duty.
I finally won it.... and for a good price too!
So I picked this up yesterday and too my surprise... apart from it is a double vinyl pressed, it is also printed on 180 gr virgin vinyl and re-mastered sound quality.
So it is exactly what I have written above about creame de la creame of LP (in terms of album and pressing).
I am happy with this.
