HUGE collections, manic collectors and competlists

[deathster]

In 2001 I visited Andi Preisig house near Stuttgart somewhere. Yeah, records were all over the house.

The question would then be: What's still missing in his collection? (of the known 80s metal)?

And I'm also curious, if he's into thrash as well:
- does he have Exodus - A Lesson in Violence CD?
- does he have Xentrix - Ghostbusters CD single with original (banned) art work?

there is always missing something in a collection.

The two CDs you listed are absolute standard, nothing special. Funny caue I think you have no imagination of a BIG CD collection. When you come to KIT or BYH we can go to him for sure...

He bought those all when released anyway and as he is a big dealer he comes actros them a dozen times a year. For CDs still much easier than for Lps.Especially when you travel through the world during the year and check all stores, shops and fairs...(he is at least 3 times in the USA and 2 times in Japan and severall trips through Europe each year although it gets harder but I think in Japan there is still enough to find on CD)

Well for sure I can't imagine a 6 digit CD collection, it's hard enought to imagine a 5 digit one

I asked for those two CDs since I don't know anyone who owns them (nor did I see them for sale), not even people like Karsten (aka yetisued, who's about the same age as Andi) - for example he was asking me if I know anything more about that banned Xentrix, so I suppose that he never saw it offered anywhere either.

... well if he really can get spare copies of those two (for reasonable price!), then please let me know

He has many items that I am dying to own At least he is more likely to be honest compared to enjoythailand who also have over 12000 albums (but not a single data entry or forum post)

I like this "absolute standart, nothing special"-phrase!

Rereading this old thread, and found an interview with fellow countryman R Haagsma.

I remember back when I actually used musik sammler, it was suggested that a few guys just built fake collections for what I would assume to be the "envy" of others because every time a new item would be added the the database it was in their collections shortly afterwards. I can't remember if this guy was one of them though. With a user name like "cockbanged" it would make sense to be a joke account.

I suppose that's true for user called enjoythailand, but cockbanged actually added tons of releases himself and he replied back with additional info on several entries I've asked him so I suppose it's real ...

So noone knows who this Cockbanged guy is yet? There's an album he has in his collection at m-s that I've been trying to find more info on for many years, but now I feel almost certain it doesn't exist. I tried to pm they guy about this but never got a reply

Most forums discussing the guy seem convinced it's really Andi P. I don't know.
