CD's You Buy Repeatedly

[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…)

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:

BABY I DO

Nice, very nice!

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.

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.

Blood On The Tracks! 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!
