Multiple Copies Of LP s Same Title

A short note to see how perverse my record collecting is.

I have the worst habit of buying multiple copies of the same title especially if they are rare, and or sought after.

I feel that they are not going to get any cheaper, and there will be a day when we never see some of them again. If a rare LP is presented to me from my UK Sellers, and or found in the Shop's I just have to buy it (Regardless of how many copies I have).

I thought of this last night as I was play grading my third Atlantic Plum Label Yes - Fragile copy.

Just wondering if there are others like me out there.

Thanks,

David

Thanks, Gregm, for the recommendation. She has added it to her list.
Great thread, Djohn.

Gregm, you don't need lithium, just play the Oistrakh. I suppose you know about "Mikrokosmos" as a source of Lp's from beyond the curtain? They used to be based in Budapest, now in Toronto. If not, mail Peter Fülöp at [email protected] and say Detlof sent you. Cheers,

Detlof, thank you! But how on EARTH did you unearth Fulop Peter! I used to live in Mitteleuropa; it was only through a Hungarian friend I heard about him (and subsequently lost trace).

I will certainly mail; thank you most sincerely for allowing your personal recommendation.

Best regards,
Greg.

Well Greg, what a great pleasure. My late wife was Hungarian and when in Budapest I one day discovered his shop at Dob Utca in the old ghetto of B. We soon truly befriended each other and hence did not lose touch, after he and his family emigrated to Toronto. He still owns the shop in Budapest. So if you should be back in "Mitteleuropa", it is stocked with good and very fairly priced stuff. Its about a ten minutes walk from Vacy ut, near the main synagogue. Best regards, KD

Detlof, my firm used to have an office in Budapest, wish I'd known of the shop, I would've visited. Since I'm going to be in Prague and Vienna the beginning of June, any suggestions on good record stores there?
