> [@KneadToKnow](#): > > There’s lots of stuff I bought on vinyl and then again on CD, but the only CD I can think of that I have bought twice was (dons fireproof pants) Andrew Dice Clay’s first album. And it was completely accidental. I found it in the used record store one day, realized it was something I wanted, bought it right up. > > Months, possibly years later, I repeated that exact sequence. > > ETA: Oh, and if it counts one of the first 2 CDs I bought was Beethoven’s Ninth (Karajan conducting the Berliner Philharmonker), which I effectively bought again when I bought the complete Beethoven symphonies box set. No sooner did I post this (and promptly forget all about it) than I discovered in our book sale a copy of the 2-disk remaster of Miles Davis’ _Kind of Blue_. So add that to my tally. :o ---

I’m with **Quasimodem** - I’ve bought _Graceland_ at least three times. Keep losing 'em in moves. I’ve also owned multiple copies of Cowboy Junkie’s _Trinity Sessions_ and Suzanne Vega’s _Retrospective_. Come to think of it, I currently possess two copies of Joan Osbourne’s _Relish_. Really gotta get the CD rack organized… ---

For albums: AC/DC - _Back in Black_ Meatloaf - _Bat Out of Hell_ Springsteen - All records through _Nebraska_ Each 3 or 4 times. Additionally, many individual songs purchased digitally over the years. If I had to guess, I’d say \*Bohemian Rhapsody \*at least 7 times. (I was never good at backing stuff up back in the day…) ---

> [@BubbaDog](#): > > Another relatively unknown blues artist and songwriter named Mark Selby has a CD called called " More Storms Comin’ ". He’s written some big name songs for others but hasn’t really broken into his own. (Kenny Wayne Shepherd - Blue on Black; Dixie Chicks - There’s Your Trouble) I bought at least five copies of More Storms Comin’. (4 autographed) > > At parties I played a few of his danceable blues songs and gave away the CD to people who would want to know who/what the song was. > > I had manged to see him every time he was in the area and bought copies straight from his autograph table. Enough that he recognized me. When I told him that was giving away his CD’s it must have made a lasting impression on him because he still thanked me the last time I saw him even though I quit working the DJ thing years ago. For **BubbaDog** : [![](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/_cqRI_YnpgY/hqdefault.jpg "BABY I DO") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_cqRI_YnpgY) Nice, very nice! Quasi ---

I keep having to buy _Dark Side of the Moon_. I’m on my 4th CD. That’s not to mention the vinyl and cassette. My other one that I’ve bought more than twice is John Hartford’s _Aereo-Plain_. ---

> [@Chef\_Troy](#): > > I’ve bought probably five or six copies of Miles Davis’s _Kind of Blue_ on CD. Why? Because whenever I discover someone who hasn’t heard it, I grab my copy off the shelf and say, “Take this and listen to it a couple of times. If you don’t like it, you can bring it back.” So far I’ve done that four or five times, and I have yet to get a copy back from anyone. I do this with Bob Dylan’s _Blood on the Tracks_. I’m probably on copy five or six, although I did get it back once. Dylan ain’t for everyone. ---

Not a bad cut on the whole damn thing, **Enginerd**! My favorite? _Lily, Rosemary and The Jack of Hearts_. One damn great “story song”! Bought it three times as well!🙂 Quasi [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/cds-you-buy-repeatedly/527465.md?page=2)
