Is this you??

Oh my gosh, that was so me as a teenager. I had no money growing up, but I worked and much of money did go to posters, magazines, records, bootleg VHS, concerts, pins, you name it. He was so damn photogenic....

When it came to CDs and DVDs that is me As someone said when I was a teenager, books, posters, what ever.. money gone 😂

What are considered essential that I don't already have. All the other stuff I have enough of.

up to 20 years ago sure

Y'know … I was having this little internal debate with myself over which version of 1999 SD to buy. I want the vinyl, but $250 is a lot to plunk down at once, plus there's the whole "how do I get a digital version" issue.

Well, the digital issue has, shall we say, "resolved itself" in the last 24 hours, leaving just the $250 vinyl price. But then I thought, "You used to drop $300 per ticket to go to a show - and that doesn't happen, anymore. Get the damn vinyl."

The accuracy of this post

This year for Christmas I thought of myself, I gave myself the book and the 1999 deluxe album ....

Gifts for others? Well the others arranged themselves

Lol, I don't. I ask others to give me the expensive stuff as gifts. They've got at least 4 days during the year (or more, if they are feeling generous) that they can do so

I'm the opposite... I make a point of asking others to get me the fairly cheap and easy-to-get stuff that can be picked up in HMV, so that I can focus the rest of the time on hunting out the quirky/OOP/occasionally kinda pricey stuff on Discogs, lol. I need to keep all the friends and family I can get, after all.

That was definately me in the early years when I would fund my collection or follow the tours around the globe.

Now I'm the complete opposite. Since Prince died, all I want is the music. No other merchandise or vinyl re-releses or orchestral tribute shows.

I've been slowing selling off my collection and funding memories with the family. A dude ranch in Texas, a drive across Italy, a trip around Iceland. The only non music items I'm keeping are reference books, a couple of things that I got from Prince and a couple of artworks (rare stuff, signed or handmase things things from say, Spencer etc). They are more sentimental as they have a background story.

Just sold a bunch of duplicate CD's to fund my next purple adventure, crossing the Andies.


Having spent 30 collecting, the most liberating thing was letting it go.

[color=blue] I think that cartoon pretty much sums me up lol[\color]

A good sound system or way to hear the music

A way to get the music

CDs

Books

Have been looking for a good shirt or sweatshirt with a small Love Symbol logo. Nothing too commercially.
