No , Forgot about it , didn't see it on amazon , and i knew that they weren't an old band so i assumed that they had all their albums ...my mistake a i guess.
if there were only 100 tapes it's gonna be vey hard getting them.
An Excellent Group ...

itay: haha AFAIK there were only ever 33 tapes and were distributed exclusively among the Godspeed members.

I definitely think we're over due a new Godspeed album-their main representative Efrim Menuck has promised to record one of their unreleased songs Albanian (or was it Gamelan? can't remember), so theres still hope that we'll see some fresh material.

In the meantime there is some live material on the 'net...

This is a WHOLE lot easier to do as a rock fan when you only need 3, 4 or even 15 albums. Once I got into jazz I was screwed. I have well over 80 Miles Davis cds and I'm still pretty far from being complete. I think the only jazz guy that I have their complete albums is Jason Moran.

There are also alot of artists that Ive HAD the complete discography at one time or another. Im not really anal about it anymore, so subpar albums like Coda and Pablo Honey are no longer in my collection.

I think some of you may also be in error. I mean, it is VERY difficult to get the complete Jimi Hendrix, or even Bob Dylan for that matter.

I just realized that I didn't put any bands down that were too easy to collect - like When in Rome. C'mon, they only had one album, hehe! Or Yaz. Hello, two albums and some greatest hits? I busted out a list that it takes a completist to finish up if they REALLY love the band. And no, I don't mean singles - some bands, you'll NEVER find them all, especially the imports! I mean just the albums and EPs. I think I would cry if I actually tried to collect all the New Order singles and promos in existence - IMPOSSIBLE! Just Round and Round alone has over 25 different versions out there worldwide!

Garbage actually has a fourth, "Bleed Like Me", which I skipped.

hang on...

But where the collection gets impressive is that I own every SPEED CD ever made. Every single, every solo album, every concert CD... even the rare JPop Night with Pink Lady covers!

Best,

Hardly any: I don't systemically hunt out everything by anyone in particular; and because I buy used, I don't usually have the latest stuff by anyone.

There are probably only a few artists/groups that I have complete:
Loreena McKennitt (but still missed out the extra-rare 10-track San Fran Live)
Connie Dover
AfroCelt Sound System
Susheela Ramen (only two albums)

The "almost complete" list:
The Chieftains (sans "Live" under Shanachie, "The Grey Fox" and "Tailor of Glucestor")
Himekami (sans last two albums before he died

)
Jon Mark (complete collection of his "ambient" stuff; not terribly interested in his early history)
Enya (can't see myself buying any more from her unless she evolves)
Bill Douglas (sans recent stuff)
Lila Downs (sans first album)

...and so on
Altan (sans first and latest album)

Big Shot: You have ever Don Redman release? Don Redman as in the McKinney Cotton Pickers? Aren't his titles somewhat rare, and only on 78s? If so, I'm impressed!
