Any idea as to the # of official SOM releases (albums,singles,vinyl,cd,etc)?
Every time I think I have a large SOM collection, a hundred things I've never seen before pop up. Making it harder are all the fakes masquerading as official releases. With all the singles the tally should be fairly high, shouldn't it?

Here's my collection for a start for you to reference! I haven't added in a few new purchases that I have either already received or am waiting to be delivered.

Appears I have crept over the 1000 post mark. Wo0t! Time for an Avatar change methinks...

Your collection brought a tear to my eye...

Most of them came from a collection of Car Boots, 2nd hand shops in various cities and towns in the UK and now mainly through Ebay and other online places.
Although shopping online is easier it doesn't replace the sitting on the floor of a record shop for 2 hours looking though hundreds of records and 1hr 59 mins in, finding a gem inamongst the crap.

You could do worse than taking a look at Y's collection

Oh my...after seeing that I'm embarassed with my paltry collection

In Sisters discographies everyone always misses the This Corrosion promotional t-shirt which belongs in the discography as it had it's own record number MR39TS.








Get your finger off the PM button. Yes YOU! I don't have one, I just saw one once at a record fair not long after it's original release.
