I searched the index and archives, and couldn't find a poll exactly like this. It was probably right in front of me, so Mods: merge it or delete it if that's the case...

Meanwhile, how far have you gone into collecting The Fall? :lol: I'm at 40-50... :unsure:

3. thus far i only have seminal live, oxymoron and live from the knitting factory l.a. - is the rest of their stuff as good as this?

That's as good as it gets, EC. I'd call it a day at that.


I have 57 items, plus about 20 home made compilations and bootlegs.

i suspected as much. the group were not quite as good as i had hoped, though. oh well, you live and learn, i suppose...

I can send you a copy of their gig at the Pig and Ferret, Digbeth '78 if you want to make sure.

MES fell asleep pissed and the group got lost at Spaghetti Junction, but the sound is crystal clear.

50+

Just about everything apart from some of the most unnecessary compilations. :wacko: Quite a lot of albums in up to 3 configurations. Not to mention DVDs and more than 600 bootlegs. One day I stopped counting...

We have to keep the Gruppe in business.

got it off dime. B)

I'm guessing 40-50. All the studio ones, a good few official live ones, a couple of comps, the peel boxset and a fair few bootlegs.

Between 40-50. If you count box-sets and MES solo stuff, etc, then it's closer to 50.

63 - including double drop vinyl/cd things, but not including the man smashing boots. sometimes i think i have wasted my whole life. :(

... And if you count individual CD's then it's gotta be well over fifty. ;)

I've certainly nothing of great importance missing from my collection. Ain't got the Blaney/Von thingy albums but they are not Fall.

Only own two or three Fall singles mind you. The b-sides and EP tracks I have compiled on various CDs though.

My ipod tells me I have 116 Fall albums (and over 1500 songs) - but this is misleading because it counts box sets like the Peel Sessions as 6.

if we are counting boxsets, it's 74.

You have 11 boxsets?!

You're new avatar looks filthy.

he look nice. :)

Can you stop using that smiley smiley, please; it's only ever used by people in a barbed way or by members who are going through "issues". Thank you. :)

god bless you. :)

Or both, obviously.

no idea.

national service.

Fascista!

I just counted mine propers and I have 41 albums, not counting boxes and shit.

I think I have everything, some several times over due to the shoddy way in which Fall CDs issues are produced (poor mastering, bonus tracks, etc). I am thinking of starting a Campaign For Real Fall Albums On CD, where I demand the albums are done properly with no bonus tracks and Peel sessions and everything is kept as true to the original as possible. The only problem is that it is probably too late and this would just add more unnecessary re-issues to the pile.

I sold most of my vinyl when I left the UK but kept some of the best LPs (Dragnet, Grotesque, Slates, Hex, PBL, RTL, TNSG, Kurious Orange). The only cassette I still have is the Chaos tape.

And I have hundreds of bootlegs.

i have five copies of all abba's albums in various formats, some six. not germane to this post, but i needed to share.

I only have single copies of all my albums. Mainly because I'm not a simpleton.

and they only allow you to have things without sharp corners.

62, not counting all the singles, EPs, box sets and bootlegs.

63 :o

Not counting bootlegs.

that would appear to be a good number. you have to draw the line somewhere...

I thought that when I got to 50, but there are one or two I still really want...The double of Hip Priests and Kamerads, Nottingham 92, The original 1999 Peel Sessions, The Levitate double cd, etc.

It's probably always going to be that way though.

I wouldn't lose too much sleep over missing disc 2. ;)

That, or you really are Jesus and now own...er, rule everything... :lol:

I'm building up my Fall MP3 collection slowly but surely. But i don't have the completist urge yet...

I'm in my late 30s - early 40s. Can't be arsed to check. <_<

50 plus. Bought over decades, lucky for me, if I'd just started liking them I don't think I could afford to get the back catalogue..especially the price of Levitate these days.

50 Odd not including his earlier stuff with The Monks and Zappa.

i am 12. about four. can't be arsed to check.

Think about 40 - excluding my clock fashioned from the free 7" that came with Frenz - which is not even an album, so is justifiably not included. -_-

I'm leaving my substantial Fall collection to Battersea Dogs Home. :wub:

My mate has all the early singles..I have already said, you go first they're mine, his girls won't appreciate them. And he can have all my collection, natch, if I haven't hooked my kids properly by then. ( It's being so cheerful keeps me going!)

I've pressed 40 - 50 but I'm pretty sure it's actually over 50 The Fall :wub: albums, excluding singles.

I wanna know.. any medals going?
