1-How big is it(cds,vinyl,downloads etc)(Include display pics etc if you want.)
50ish cd singles, 500+ cd albums, 30+ DVDs, 10+ box sets. I don't own a huge amount of vinyl, though whats left of my parents collections is sat in my room right now haha.
2-Is there stuff you have not played(how much)
Mostly stuff I've bought recently and haven't had a chance to yet. Off the top of my head I know I've not opened my deluxe version of the Who's Tommy I bought years ago.
3-Do you buy your music or do you take the odd frebbie download from blogs.
99.9% is bought. I've downloaded freebies, but I try and buy them as soon as possible. It's usually that I hear something then can't wait and have to have it. But I've spend so much on music, and continue to spend so much on all areas of music, that the odd obscure as **** Cheap Trick album or downloading the Buckcherry discography then buying it album by album isn't going to hurt anybody.
4-How much per month do you think you spend
Average is between £20 - £40
5-Is your collection out of control and growing like a monster
Yes. I have a book case, floor to ceiling which I have now filled. Top shelf is box sets, next shelf CD singles, then the next 9 shelves are CD albums. I have a pile of albums by my TV that I have no space for. Oh and I'm only 24.
6-How many chances do you give a purchase(eg 3 goes)
I don't really understand this question. How many chances do I give it before what?
7-Do you have stuff that you do not like(eg part of a bands discography)
Yep. But I find that's what happens when you collect bands and artists that have huge back catalogues. I bang on about Status Quo all the time on here, but I can't stand huge chunks of their discography. Though I own all of it.
8-Do you sell off parts of your collection from time to time.
When I first read this question, and when it's come up before I usually get all high and mighty about getting rid of parts of your collection. But as I've grown older and my tastes have expanded, I'm realising that maybe I can't keep everything, as I simply don't have the room.
But I can't bare to part with any of them, even the stuff I'll possibily never listen to again like Radiohead. So maybe soon I'll have to permanently store some albums, but they'll still be there if I want them.
9-Please feel free to say anything else.
My collection is largely based around the discographies of my favourite bands. It's rare I'll own just 1 album by someone, eventually I'll collect more.
Great set of questions!
