I'm not talking about just buying all their albums or stuff you can by in HMV, and I'm not talking about the extremes like buying locks of hair etc!
Does anyone collect stuff from a band they like such as promos, radio sessions, demos, alternative recordings and bootleged gigs etc? What is your favourite piece of your collection?
I collect that kind of stuff from The La's, The Stone Roses and Oasis. My Oasis collection is extremely small though, there is far too much stuff out there to have a proper collection (although I have a couple of real gems such as the Noise and Confusion Vinyl EP of which only 200 copies exist).
I have a massive collection of Stone Roses bootlegs and rarities etc. My favourite is my La's collection though, one of the truly great bands in my opinion and sadly only known for an album recording session that they walked out on (well, I suppose they're only known to the masses for one song!). Some of their "new" songs which would have featured on the second album are unreal, while songs like Callin All (which was going to be the title of their debut album) never were released due to royalty issues with former band members. The various studio sessions they did are remarkable too.
Funnilly enough I never got into collecting football memorabilia though!
Does anyone else have any collections of stuff?
