Multiple copies of the same album on vinyl?

Wow Elizabeth!!! 7000 in 11 months!?!?! I hope you've got a sturdy record cleaning machine : ) Sean

So, if you guys are looking through a used record bin and you find 3 great copies of a good album, do you find yourself buying all 3?

A few. Mainly because I hit a couple of thrifts every week and I'll buy something I already have if I see one that I know I like and it looks to be in better condition.

I have 2 original Moody Blues "Days of Future Passed" found at different times. One is VG and the other EX. $3.00 total. No big deal to get a 2nd when it's only a buck or 2.

I probably have a half-dozen similar titles.

I would not purchase several copies of the same LP at the same time, (unless it was something like KOB in 6 eye stereo! or some other super Jazz title that even one good copy would make make my day...)
So, never for Classical, Rock, Opera, Folk, Easy Listening, Country,... but Jazz... yeah... 'Vinyl lust' would take over and I would buy all the good copies of a Jazz title at a thrift.

I generally collect by label. I will buy multiple copies of the Flyright label specifically the Jay Miller sessions along with the Excello label. Allthough these are in mono, they are far superior than all other vinyl in throwing a soundstage, IMHO.
