I've purchased "Pet sounds" twice :
- the first time was the 1990 reedition in mono with the 3 bonus tracks
- the second time was the 2001 reedition that contains both mono and stereo version (the stereo version was a real revelation for me !)

I've purchased 2 others albums that I already owned but didn't remember that I owned them :
- "A Christmas gift for you" of Phil Spector
- "Copperopolis" of Grant Lee Buffalo

I bought this album just for the magnificently homoerotic cover.



(Hope the picture is showing)

That was quite small. I'll try again:



If it still is wrong, I'll leave it with that.

- the opposite of above(bought an album because you forgot that you already owned it)? (luckily, i have not)

One time I bought an album at a store forgetting I had ordered it on Amazon.

- bought an album by an artist that you do not like because you feel like you should have it? (i will, when i finally buy some led zep)

Pretty much every U2 album I own.

- bought a second copy of an album because it was scratched? (that nirvana compilation with you know you're right on it is scratched to the point where most tracks don't play, but you know you're right still plays and i have all of the other tracks on other CD's. i'm not sure whether i will buy another copy)

Nevermind and OK Computer

- bought a remastered version or a version of an album that you already owned? (i'm too young to have bought anything other than remasters for albums that have been remastered)

Not yet, but my friend tells me Fun House is a huge improvement on the remaster.

A couple of times I've bought CDs of stuff I already had on vinyl, because I'd like to be able to listen to them at the office. Dylan's Blonde on Blonde and Blood on the Tracks, Steve Wynn's Kerosene Man would be cases in point.

While living abroad for a while without my vinyl collection, I also rebought a few things like Warren Zevon' Sentimental Hygiene and a few Dylan disks.

And the recent reissues of Zevon albums with extra tracks of course were bought the second I learned of their existence. On "Stand in the Fire", the extras were definitely worth the entire price of the new CD, on "Excitable Boy" they're pretty missable.

i have bought an album that i already on cassette tape
