I've just realized

That I have spent well over $100 on the "1999" album alone- 6 copies of the CD for myself (I've burnt through the first 5 copies), one copy of the 10-track CD, probably 5 tapes for myself, and at least 5 CDs and 5 tapes as gifts (to friends or drive thru cashiers)!

Don't get me started, Please...let's just say with all the ablums I've had thru the years, I got to say I've bought each one at least 3 or more times each, that's each one...reasons being theft, lost, scratches, etc.
love you baby but not like my guitar

It's money well-spent though! There are other albums (Lovesexy, Dirty Mind, Controversy, Purple Rain, The Gold Experience, etc.) that I have bought multiple times as well. However, there is just something about "1999" that makes me unable to resist shelling out $4 when I see the tape used. eek It's almost like I have such a connection to it and what it has done for me, that I OWE it to the album to buy it and give it to someone. lol

lol Could be! I just like rewarding good taste, so whoever expresses an admiration for "1999" always gets a copy free from me. nod

Spent a whole lot of too much money on multiple Crystal Ball copies as well.
Have three different editions of it: Round case without booklet with Tshirt, square case, round case with booklet.

Furthermore of almost every released album 2 different editions minimal up to 7 different editions of Rave

Me too! No DMSR on my 1999 cd.
But luckily i have it on LP, which is not so enjoyable because of all the scratches and stuff (i bought it 2nd hand).
