Complete Album Sets

Led Zeppelin
Mountain
Simon and Garfunkel
The Jimi Hendrix Experience

And on the note of Blind Faith, I have that one. Also got the complete discography of Derek and the Dominos. :D
 
All the Grateful Dead vinyl released through Terrapin Station, after which I lost interest. This includes the pseudo officially released Vintage Dead and Historic Dead which preceded the first Warner Bros. issue.
I don't think I have any complete sets, though I do have five or six consecutive of a few artists usually starting with their first. Emmylou Harris, Bonnie Raitt, Little Feat, New Riders of the Purple Sage.

I'm actually pretty jealous about the Dead collection. I am relatively young as Dead fans are concerned (32yrs old) but I did about 100 shows in the early 90's on tour in 3 different beetles and a vw van. I had almost 400 cassette bootlegs stolen at a party around '94 and really haven't listened to them much since Jerry died.

Totally off topic and I apologize but I think I will be listening to Terrapin Station tomorrow on the way to work for sure.

Back to you regularly scheduled program.
 
Bummer about the tapes... there was a thread here recently about a dad who helped his teenage son pick up a cassette deck along with a large quantity of Dead tapes. There's so much quality stuff available now through Dick's Picks and the download series, but there was a certain organic quality about the tapes and the whole mystique of trading. Miss those days. :smoke:
 
:lmao: Both covers?

I was wondering if my sense of humor was too obscure. I guess it is not complete, because I only have the import - the nudie. It is a great album. Shame that they only did one.

I came close to completing a Traffic collection last summer.

Probably a topic for another thread, but there are a lot of bands whose complete discography I would not want. After the first few Kansas albums, they were not doing anything really new. I wouldn't want any Elton John after Madman. ZZ Top was much better before MTV and marketing.

I would consider a collection of Jefferson Airplane that does not include anything by Jefferson Starship to be a complete collection. I do think that the album that was called Starship is a Jefferson Airplane album though.

I have every LP and single by Nick Lowe plus bootlegs, and a bunch of related artists Carlene Carter, Dave Edmunds, John Hiatt etc. etc etc. I don't have all The Brinsley Schwarz LPs but am working on it.

Until my copy of A Hard Days Night came up missing recently I was batting 100% on Beatles US LPs in MONO, the 45s though I have got a long way to go.
 
I have, I think, the complete Simon & Garfunkel - almost all of them are represented by both stereo and mono editions - including the very early "Bridge Over Troubled Water" LP that has small lettering and no song titles on the cover.
 
Code Blue, ha ha all one of them

really though I think I have the complete Jethro Tull and Yes catalogs, at least what is available on LPs
 
I too have the Simon & Garfunkel, but it's because I have the box set. :)

For other bands:

The Cars
Beastie Boys
Jurassic 5
Kyuss
Nirvana
The Pixies
The Police
Queens of the Stone Age
The Reverend Horton Heat (the ones that are available on vinyl that is...)

I also have all the David Lee Roth era Van Halen and Bon Scott era AC/DC. There are quite a few others that I am missing one or two. I will have to add them to the wish list to satisfy the completest in me. :)

I'm working on:
The Beatles (almost there, then the upgrades and the complete mono/stereo set start)
Rolling Stones (long, long way to go)
INXS (about halfway there)
U2 (long way to go)
The Who (about a third of the way)
Led Zeppelin (almost there)
 
Anybody have the complete Zappa?????????


Edit: I don't, I was just wondering.

I had a friend that has every Zappa lp, ep, 45 released, in various pressings etc Also had about 500 hours worth of concert tapes and bootlegs. Very impressive collection for sure. I never understood the addiction but neither could he understand mine when it came to Bob Dylan and blues music.

I havent seen him in over 10 years or so but I bet he is in his basement right now listening to Frank, doing bong hits and trying to conceal the odor from his mother upstairs.
 
All the "legit" Steely Dan (and I count "You Got To Walk It Like You Talk It Or You'll Lose That Beat" as semi-legit) Both CD & vinyl...except no CD of "Walk It" & "Can't Buy A Thrill" (the only Dan album I never got fully into)
Beatles? Check
Todd Rundgren? Check
Linda Ronstadt? Check
Peter Gabriel? Check...most CDs as well
Working on:
Michael Franks (need 1 or 2)
Kenny Rankin (same)
Dylan (just need a couple)
I think I'm one short on Little Feat
No vinyl, but full sets on:
Diana Krall
Jane Monheit
Anita Baker
Sade
All CD & some vinyl:
Rickie Lee Jones
 
I have, I think, the complete Simon & Garfunkel - almost all of them are represented by both stereo and mono editions - including the very early "Bridge Over Troubled Water" LP that has small lettering and no song titles on the cover.

That's pretty impressive. I found a US Mono "Bookends" at Goodwill a few weeks back and nearly pooped myself. I have various incarnations of their stereo representations but the monos are near impossible (and expensive) to find.
