I can identify with the compulsive collecting thing, but for me, my music collection was always more about having listening copies over variants.

I have had fun collecting this stuff, but i definitely feel less compelled to fill perceived holes in the collection these days;
I don’t know that I ever found any deals like what you guys did - being probably a bit late to the game, i instead watched prices, then bought if i believed the deal to be fair.
I started with collecting cd’s, so that’s still my preferred format - over time some variants seem to have been forgotten (like the k-mart censored in utero; that one took some time to get both cd and tape variants!)

oh - I guess I did get one real deal;
I got a promo cassette copy of ‘it’s an interview’ in a small lot ages ago;
I have only heard of one other copy mentioned - the one in kurts tape collection;
I’d really love to know how rare that is…

I’d love to one day get a first press (white) Bleach to accompany my second press (black) copy;
But I’m fine with second, third (a single translucent pink), and anniversary white…
