so Phil do you have Go Home? That's the hardest one to find. Took me forever. and yeah, um, think you'll need a turntable to play it. Looks like you need to be a twat to complete your collection!

oh, and speaking as someone who also has every Art Ensemble recording up through the 80s (and you are totally missing out if you don't own albums like LIve in Japan and Urban Bushmen but what-the-fuck-ever, the obvious answer to thread is: collect all the *solo* albums. So, all that great 70s Roscoe and Lester stuff, plus the Malachi, Don and Jarman albums on AEOC. oh but you need a turntable for some of that stuff too, snap.

I stopped getting completionist urges when I started sorting my records by album title instead of artist name. The downside to this is realizing you don't actually enjoy 20-30% of your collection. "Space Oddity" and "Combat Rock" just don't look that hot when forced to stand on their own.

... your ideas are intriguing to me! but what a project.

Yeah, I seriously did it during a hurricane while the power was knocked out. Probrably took about five hours to complete but it wasnt like there was anything better to do.

Only a twat owns a turntable in 2006.

So what if you have two turntables? (But no microphone.)

What do you other ILMers do when you've finished collecting someone's work?

I was never a completist, so I have never had that experience.

I wear my turntable pride on my sleeve in 2006, are you kidding?

Go Home was issued on CD in Spain; you can find copies on eBay pretty easily. And I've got Urban Bushmen, which is great; I'm also looking to pick up Live In Berlin 1979 and the 2CD version of Live In Japan. But for now, I'm moving on to Venom.
