Music Collectors Anonymous

[PurpleShoes]

I'm a retro game lover by day, but when the sun goes down... I'm a grubby music collector! I just spent $100 on a cassette tape! I cannot be trusted with money. ​

I think there's a lot of overlap between game collectors and music collectors! I'm sure there's a lot of overlap on this very forum! We both tend to be very concerned with authenticity, seeking out original pressings and oftentimes albums only ever released on obscure antiquated formats! We also tend to be a bit more comfortable parting with our money than we should be.
Are there any other collectors on here? If so, what was your latest pickup? What's your holy grail? I'd love to hear from ya!

I will end this post with probably the stupidest best piece of Vinyl I own.

I have over 900 Vocaloid songs saved, and a number of physical album releases.

My crown jewel is my Deco*27 Ghost limited edition album set.

As much as I love music, my physical collection is very small. I think my holy grail is the Shin Megami Law & Chaos soundtrack. Most of the stuff I love is extremely rare/expensive in my country...

My mom has this HUGE HUGE case full of albums from the 80s and 90s which naturally predates my existence as well
I used to collect my fair amount of CDs as well but stopped around when CD players and wired headphones started to become outdated. I am no longer at home so I don't have pictures but I do know a few of the cds we have, including:

-Stillmatic by Nas
-Mama Said Knock You Out by LL Cool J
-Watch the Throne by Jay Z and Kanye West, which makes me infinitely sad about the first song's singer
-Reasonable Doubt by Jay Z
-Totally Hip Hop
-Greatest Hits by U2
-How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb by U2
-The Yellow Album from Spongebob
-Various Eminem albums, never did get Encore, but after hearing some of the songs, that might've been for the best
-many of the infamous "Now That's What I Call Music" CDs, I think from 3 up to 34 with a few gaps and broken CD cases
-Used to have Kids Bop too but I grew up and trashed them. I had 1-34 in order with no gaps, plus Gold, Halloween, Motown and others


other than that, there were a few library rentals I got with my library card when I was younger. Listened to them on my CD players and burned them to iTunes. God I'm old

-Theater of the Mind by Ludacris (was a library rental)
-Gorillaz by Gorillaz (was a library rental)
-Plastic Beach by Gorillaz (was a library rental)
-Paper Trail by TI (was a library rental)

These are all that I remember btw

That's really cool! I totally respect any vocaloid fans, it seems like such a wide and varied world. My girlfriend is a big Miku fan. Is your copy of Ghost the box set with the pizza print? That looks cool as hell! Packaging is such a lost art imo!

Hey man, that's nothing to be ashamed of! Everyone's gotta start somewhere. For the longest time, I could only get CDs on Christmas or Birthdays. I got my copy of the Gorillaz S/T by saving up lunch money LOL. Just as long as you're collecting music you like!

Oh dude, that set is insane! I love SMT so much (not to mention its music), I'm surprised I hadn't heard of it before! It's always so badass having physical copies of game soundtracks. They always have such care and attention put into them. I have Super Metroid's OST on Vinyl and it fills me with so much joy to look at.
