UKC

A question for the old folk here.

Which albums have you owned in all the formats?
Vinyl
Cassette (8 track?)
CD
MP3

My list, (none of which I'm ashamed of);

Love "Forever changes"
Hendrix "Band of gypsies"
Jefferson Airplane "Surrealistic Pillow"
Alan Stivell "Renaissance of the celtic harp"
VDGG "The least we can do is wave to each other" "Still Life" "World Record"
The Enid "In the region of"

Yours?

In reply to Big Ger:

Not an album but I did buy all format releases of Weezers "Hash Pipe" single as ,as far as I remember, they all had different b-sides and I was a huge Weezer fan at the time.

In reply to Boris\'s Johnson:

Where is the minidisc love? A far better format than CD.

In reply to Dan Arkle:

I used to have Stalin's speeches on 78 rpm if that's any help.

In reply to Big Ger:

Love the first three in your selection

In reply to Rob:

Yes, not bad, although I'd have had After Bathing and Ladyland in preference, as well as a tool that deleted one side of the Love. The Enid, tho, eh? Lol City, AZ. I saw them once at the Marquee; I recall someone in the queue outside asked what they sounded like and someone else said like a cross between Elgar and Floyd, which was a fair enough assessment. And then again at Henge, the last real Henge as it happened, where they were superb.

In reply to Big Ger:

Hawkwind "doremi"
And
The Stone Roses
Although I'm sure the tapes chewed and died before the MP3 came along...

In reply to Big Ger:

Probably the album in the most multiple formats is 1981's Faith by The Cure.

I have six copies on vinyl, Australian (gatefold), Norwegian (gatefold), Spanish, two first press UK issues, and a more recent Record Store Day reissue (comes with download code).

Also on CD Deluxe edition and several original cassette issues (comes with an additional piece of music not available on the other formats)

There are still plenty of other vinyl pressings still to find including NZ, Japanese, Irish (mega rare) and a test pressing (rarer still).

In reply to Big Ger:

Neil's Heavy Concept Album - Neil Pye
The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter - The Incredible String Band
Dark Side of the Moon - Pink Floyd
Wheels of Steel - Saxon
Fish Rising - Steve Hillage
L - Steve Hillage

All on vinyl, cassette, CD and MP3 download as well as on Spotify and Amazon playlists.

In reply to Big Ger:

That's a very good list, especially the first four.

Hot Rats: Frank Zappa, I think is the only one I've had on all formats.

In reply to Big Ger:

Interesting how many bands have stood the test of time, isn't it?

In reply to Big Ger:

Miles Davis - Sketches Of Spain
Talking Heads - Remain In Light
David Byrne & Brian Eno - My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts
Billy Bragg - Talking With The Taxman About Poetry
Prefab Sprout - From Langley Park To Memphis

All on vinyl, cassette and CD. None on mp3.

In reply to Big Ger:

Good to see another Alan Stivell fan.

"Chemins de Terre" - also a Stivell classic, which I have on all formats.

Weather Report "Heavy Weather"
Miles Davis "A Kind of Blue"
John McLaughlin/Carlos Santana "Love Devotion Surrender"
Prefab Sprout "Steve McQueen"
Joni Mitchell "Hejira"
Steely Dan "Aja"
The Who "Live at Leeds"
Marvin Gaye "What's Going On"

In reply to Dan Arkle:

Friends and associates know not to mention minidiscs in my presence as I will wax lyrical about what an underrated format they are for as long as anyone will listen (so not long).

I think the only one that I've owned in every format is Roni Size and Reprazent - New Forms. Definitely not embarrassed about that one.

In reply to AllanMac:



I have his every recoded work, though some border on the insane .

In reply to AllanMac:

A nice selection...


All of these albums are in the current selection that I am listening too! I've listened to all of them in the last month. Also John McLaughlin (Mahavishnu and Miles Davis stuff) and a bit of Santana too, but not the album you specified.
