i'm the same way... i'm all about collecting the songs, i don't need the japanese import just because the cover is a different color than the german import. (um... actually i'm lying, because i do have two copies of the same 12" because there are different pictures on the back... and i sometimes buy the vinyl version of something i already have on cd and vice versa for either archival or ease of listening reasons. but only if it's reasonable to do so. but really, it's about the music and not the accumulation of stuff.)
for the record though (ha) i've found that cds are generally more expensive than vinyl. i mean, unless it's something really rare and out of print.
good luck on your hunt. have you checked out gemm.com?
GEMM.COM is super overpriced on most everything. I ordered some stuff and onto of the originally overpriced prices they tack on a GEMM charge. I guess if I want anything else from them, I’ll have to skirt GEMM and email them directly.
Since I own a record store and can get cds at wholesale cost, unless a record is super cheap used, I can probably get it cheaper on cd. But there’s just so much stuff that isn’t out on cd, goddamnit!
i've never actually BOUGHT anything i found on gemm... honestly, i have yet to figure out how it works, really. and the lack of pictures bothers me... just doesn't feel all that secure, you know?
