Re: Number of CDs?????

I certainly would have hundreds if you were nice enough to include vinyl (US, UK, a Dutch "Some Girls", a few Japanese pressings - Emotional Rescue, Tattoo & IORR are all way better than UK/US pressings - plus I've picked up some sealed pressings w/ original stickers etc which are duplicates (quarduplicates?), and except Flashpoint (bleh), Live Licks, & 40 Licks, the rest thru ABB is on vinyl - oh, and the Mobile Fidelity box. As for CDs I bought those crappy Sony editions of the "Atlantic" stuff 15 years ago, then the Virgin remasters, a couple Japanese editions w/ bonus tracks, and then of course I had those crappy '86 Abkco cds until they were finally upgraded in 2002...hmmm...Most solo stuff: Jagger's albums (plus "Performance" - but not "Ruthless People"), Brian's great Joujouka lp, Keith's (inc. "Aranbee Pop Symphony" and Wingless Angels), all of Ron's and Charlie's, most of Bill's and Mick T's....Howlin Wolf's London session (Stones, Hubert, Clapton - what a lineup)...Then (not even mentioning boots) what might be seen as grey area stuff, like "Ready To Wear" & "Hope Floats" soundtracks, Dick & Dee, B.B. King, Marianne Faithfull's '94 comp, Bobby Womack's album on Wood's Slide label, Chieftains' Long Black Veil (all have at at least one collaboration w/ the Stones), Oldham's collection on See For Miles w/ a few early oddball RS b-sides ('Funky & Fleopatra'?)...Do we count stuff w/ 1 or 2 Stones guesting on a cut or three? I couldn't possibly guess how many of those I have unless I went thru my whole collection (you know, Jimmy Rodgers, Bo Diddley, Ivan Neville, Bootsy, Chuck's "Hail Hail", etc, etc)...UrbanSteel did you count just for this thread or already know exactly what you have? I'm getting a headache already...And damn, those DVDs and decrepit old videos!!!
