What have you collected of your favorite artist?

[vashti1999]

I've been wanting to start this thread for a few weeks, but I wanted to have my list completely prepared, and I still think I'm missing stuff.

List all the stuff you have of your favorite artist, not just the music, but any other collectible items. Share the level of your obsession with the group.

My favorite artist is Prince. I didn't list everything, but this is most of what I own from him.

Thanks, you could say I'm obsessed. Have you collected more stuff when you were younger, like the pins and buttons? It was easy for us in the 80's, both Journey and Prince were at their commercial peak back then. It was easier to find items.

I have a couple of buttons and pins that I've had since the height of Purple Rain that I have to look for, I'm not sure where they are. I've got all this stuff but I haven't set up any sort of organized shrine. I have records over here, magazines over there. In looking over my collection to compile this list, I realized that a cd I recently ordered through ebay, I already had it and didn't know it.

Yeah, a lot of the stuff is from the 80's. Some of the albums I found at swap meets. What I really want is an album autographed by all the members of the group, but they are hard to get on ebay.

I have all the Beatles songs on various CDs that I've burned. But, I haven't bought any of the albums on CD because I've heard that Michael Jackson gets the royalties for the songs because he owns the rights to the Beatle's songs. Actually, I just remembered I do have a copy of the White Album on a record.

Gotta add the White Album record to the list.
