Hi Folks i normally like to keep one copy of each Album in mint condition, one in use and then a copy of most of the Japanese Remasters and i am at the moment collecting the Hollywood Remasters just for the bonus tracks.Over the years i have probabley owned 3 or 4 copies of most of the Albums.How about you guys ?
The Queen albums (vinyl) I have at least double or tripple. When I see a copy on a fleamarket or a garagesale it's hard for me not to pick it up.

The records I bought new when I was young I can still recognize through little marks and scratches on the sleeves.
It is the same on 7 and 12 inch records...
The vinyl albums, I have at least one copy of each of the albums up to the mid 80's, After that I stopped buying vinyl by any band.
On CD, I have at least one copy of all albums including Q+PR stuff.
The only duplicate cd's I have are Queen 1, ANATO (including the DVD-A, Hollywood release and the anniversary editions) and The Game DVD-A.
All the albums that I own one vinyl copy of are Canadian pressings unless noted otherwise. Same goes for most all the CD's.

My CD collection contains every official (dutch & UK) releases and some more. Mostly one copy.
I did back-up all the albums on my harddrive and made some MP3 albums for use in my car(s).
The FM collection I only used once for the same use.
All band LPs up through 'Wembley'. EMI, Elektra, Capitol, and Hollywood CDs.
All solo LPs and CDs (including The Cross). Various cassettes.
ANATO, NOTW, and The Game 8-tracks.
One reel-to-reel of their first LP radio promo.
Various 45s and 12" singles (including a Roger personally autographed cover of Manipulator). And this pales in comparison to so many who need ten more spreadsheets than us to list their collections.
And a grammaphone version of.......just kidding.
Every album on vinyl and CD.
Also... the Mexican LP-version of The Game, the Japanese CD-version of Queen II and the annoversary CD of A Night at the Opera.,
I bough one LP extra of A Night at the Opera and A Day at the Races, and hung the covers on the wall.
Too many on cd! :-)
I'm a cd-collector...
I've got all albums at least twice (UK & HR), but also many pressings from Italy, Japan, Poland and Australia.
Most albums I own 3 to 5 times... And sometimes only the barcode is different :-)
