Bond1965 Oscar® Winner	Well...as I don't drink/smoke or have any other vices...I spend too much money on CDs. I used to collect LPs and have about 1,500 of those. As for CDs...I started in 1989 and have over 3,000. Most of them are film music CDs. I just got a DVD player last year and now have about 160 DVDs. So everyone knows where my money is going. James

PeterK FishChip	So, James, you're telling me I need to add DVDs to the moviemusic store. Correct?

SEBULBA Oscar® Winner	I'm a little late to this topic. I started basically in '77 at age 9. But I didn't really start getting a lot till about the last 8 years. 8 years ago I had 100 + after about 15 years. But now I'm up to about 825.

Kimiakane Oscar® Winner	My husband and I have been collecting since the wonderful days of vinyl (he started long before I did), then we "progressed" to cassettes (which we have subsequently replaced with CD), and now we have too many to count, especially when you combine it with all the other CDs we have. All together it's in the thousands.

Timmer Oscar® Winner	Oh man, the golden days of vinyl, to this day I don't really know how much I have on vinyl except that I know it takes up a lot of space (I don't often play my LP's these days due to the fact that they are crammed away in a tight space). I haven't counted my CD's for a long time, they take up eight shelves that hold around about 150, but not all of them are soundtracks, if music be the food of love then I like starters, main course and deserts...whether it's jazz,pop,classical or of course film music!

LRobHubbard Oscar® Winner	Hmmmm... started collecting lp's in 1975, so I was 10 years old. First lp's were INSIDE STAR TREK and the RCA album of SPACE:1999. started on cd's in 1993 - Michael Nyman's DROWNING BY NUMBERS. Currently, I have over 400 cd's, and about 300 lp's - have to update my catalog and do another count. Still get the occasional lp - you who've never owned a turntable just cannot understand the lure of vinyl... and it makes me sad and wistful.

Kimiakane Oscar® Winner	Don't be sad, L, be glad we still have our turntables and our vinyl. Sure, our CDs are crisp and clear...but nothing has the sound intensity of a clean vinyl recording! We still use ours frequently.

Lou Goldberg Oscar® Winner	Another young starter, at 12 yrs old, back in 1976. Always been poor so I don't have the numbers that 25 years of collecting should've put together. I have about 1500 LPs, 1400 cassettes, and 1200 CDs though there is some overlap between formats, i.e., things I have both on LP and CD.

enigmaron Oscar® Winner	Well, I started collecting soundtracks on LP in the late 1950's, early 1960's. I had several hundred collected by the time I got my first CD player in the late '80's, or early '90's, I don't remember which. At last count, I have 4,144 CD's....of which, 1,542 are soundtracks. If you're of a mind....you can see them all listed at my soundtrack website HERE NP: MYTHODEA...Vangelis

Graham Watt Oscar® Winner	My first LP soundtrack was Hammer Presents Dracula (well, HALF of it was a soundtrack). When did that come out? Oooh, about '74? I was in my early teens then. Later amassed about 600 soundtrack LPs. I went into a drought in the 80s and early 90s, due to incessant travelling/no fixed abode etc, when I didn't want to HAVE things. Then settled down and got married in another country. Since then have started on a CD collection. It's at about 200 now. I'd have more, but the children don't understand why they have to eat cheap food just because daddy's gone-a-hunting to the record shops.

(I can see the new topics: "You're moving to an industrialized nation where each of you will have 20 cubic feet of living space, and you can only take 700 CDs with you--which 700 will you take??") (Yeah, don't think that in this utopian world, there won't be the folks that try to sneak in 702....)

John C Winfrey Oscar® Winner	For many of our collections we wouldn't make much if we sold them. They don't give you much for collections. They cheat you. John.

Gae Oscar® Winner	Cor, Some of you Guys must be pretty rich to have the amount of CDs you have. Poor little me has the following. Started collecting in 1975 at the age of 10. First score was "Jaws" (I now have two LPs of it and the Expanded CD release) About two thirds must be soundtracks and the last third mainly Classical with some Jazz and a few Pop/Rock albums. Cassettes 170 LPs 350 CDs 250 DVDs 70 Pretty meagre compared to some of you Guys, but hey, tis enough for me!! If I was honest, I'd have to say that there are still a few albums in there that I could do with getting to know better, hence my recent venture into the world of CD-Rs of some of my LPs. Gae

Gae Oscar® Winner	Lancelot, Imagine how long the Desert Island Discs programme would be trying to listen to the 700 CDs. It would go on for months. The opening commentary would be something like this "Imagine you were stranded on a Desert Island somewhere. Now its a tough decision, but if you had to choose which 700 CDs would you take with you?" Whatever happened to the days of "which 3 CDs would you take with you"? Now that would be a hard choice!! Gae

morpheus Oscar® Nominee	I started collecting in 1999 and now have 2000+ CDs but I'm a bit of a cheat because I married into my collection.

Gae Oscar® Winner	I can just imagine the ceremony.... "Morpheus, Do you take Jerry Goldsmith's score to "Gremlins" to be your lawful wedded wife? For richer or poorer: in sickness and in health......" God I'm in such a silly mood these days!!! Gae NP Time after Time (Rozsa)

morpheus Oscar® Nominee	Gae: ROFL Actually it was "do you morpheus take every damn film composer who ever lived (along with your beloved) to be your lawfully wedded HUSBAND!"
posted 11-16-2001 04:59 AM PT (US)

Gae Oscar® Winner	Whoops, sorry. The name Morpheus is one of those androgynous names isn't it? Maybe we should all have a female and male icon next to our names to distinguish our sex. It does get confusing sometimes. Then again, I'm easily confused these days Gae NP The Fly II (Young) [Message edited by Gae on 11-17-2001]
