I think I also have this [picture disc](https://ring.cdandlp.com/paskale/photo_grande/114353780.jpg), and I have a 3-inch CD (‘CD single’?) of theirs, but I don’t remember what was on it.

Cream - not that hard to do  
Beatles - including Anthology and both Let it Be versions  
Mike Oldfield - including compilations with extra material and a few bootlegs  
Dylan - as before except for the junk and most of the official bootlegs  
Mahavishnu Orchestra  
And I had all of Buffalo Springfield, but didn’t transfer some tapes so no longer

> If you buy no other Springsteen album, I wholeheartedly recommend you get _The Rising_ (2002), his first album in like 18 years with the full E Street Band. It was written partly in response to 9/11. It’s a mixture of introspective songs, light optimistic tunes, and flat-out rock ‘n’ roll party songs. There’s not a bad song on the album.

Thanks for the tip. I’ll sample it on YouTube and whatnot.

I’ve got everything Joy Division (and the stuff they did as Warsaw) ever recorded, in the format it was first released. Admittedly it’s not a huge catalogue, and one or two of the rarer items are, err, not entirely 100% in their provenance.

I’m pretty sure I’ve got the entire Cocteau Twins catalogue in original vinyl though. Not in mint condition - those used to get played a lot, and the covers made handy and pleasing surfaces to skin up on.

If you were to recommend one \*\*REM \*\*album after _Monster_, which one would it be? I lost interest after _Monster_, but now fear I missed out on something worthy while I wasn’t paying attention.

I’m assuming you’re talking about studio albums because the entire Pearl Jam collection is massive! 😃

Orchestra Luna.

I own their (single) album, but I also have every single (45 rpm) they released and an acetate demo of the album with the original track sequence and tracks that were removed for the commercial release. I even have the 8-track version of the album.

_New Adventures In Hi-Fi_ was really a fantastic album. The rest are mediocre without Bill Berry, but they all had their moments.
