As for Michael's original question, I'm a bit hard-pressed. I'm all at once!

I am a John Williams and Danny Elfman completist (the word speaks for itself). I like to own every score that has an historical significance, even if it's not exactly my "cup of tea". I like to own every score, which musically I like(!). I like to own scores specifically in the orchestral adventure mode, but eat everything (and I mean EVERYTHING...almost). Whether this makes me a collector, an accumulator or whatever, I don't know. As my own article touched upon, it's VERY hard to make categories about this stuff and generalisations in general(!).

What would make my collection complete? Every Williams and Elfman note that I don't own..

A gem in my collection? If gem is valued by rarity, I've got a few - like SUGARLAND EXPRESS, DIAMOND HEAD, MAN WHO LOVED CAT DANCING, WITCHES OF EASTWICK, ACCIDENTAL TOURIST, SPACE CAMP etc.

The Roots of Heaven -- Malcolm Arnold
The Barbarian and the Geisha -- Hugo Friedhofer
Bunny Lake is Missing -- Paul Glass
God's Little Acre -- Elmer Bernstein

ALL LPs! Sure, I have a stunning CD collection, but anyone not collecting soundtracks on LP is only half a collector!
