Foetusized's CD & DVD Collection
|
v12.0 -- June 2008
Welcome to my CD and DVD collection listing. I have been buying CDs since 1987, and have amassed quite a collection. When I
last updated these pages, I owned 3659 titles (counting most multiple-disc sets as one unit) and 4147 actual discs. I obtained 237 titles in the past nine months I have been neglecting this site. That comes out to around 23 CDs per month. I have no way to break down where I purchased them as I usually do, but most came from eBay or Half.com, with others coming from local used CD shops, and other shops in Cookeville and Knoxville, Tennessee as I have traveled for business. Seventeen of them were three inch CD singles.
After all these months, it is hard to select a "buy of the month." I did recently purchase a copy of City Slab Horror (with tracks from Blubbermouth) at the Disc Exchange in Knoxville, a 1989 release. It is labeled "1983-1984 Part 2" on the back cover, and I was afraid I was buying one half of a two CD set, although it looks like Part One (Since the Accident) was sold seperately. I paid $7.99 for the CD, and have seen prices online since I purchased it for many times that. Now I'll have to keep my eyes out for a cheap copy of the companion disc.
I updated the page of snapshots of my CD collection December 2005 with three more photos. The page still has photos from September 2004 and April 2005. The recent additions are a new pair of speakers, my new-to-me Technics SL-1700Mk2 turntable, and the vinyl records that are now cluttering up the floor of the room.
I hope this listing is of use to someone somewhere. An explanation of my format (which I have personally used for years)
follows the links.
NOTE: these discs are not (repeat, ARE NOT) for sale, so please do not contact me to make an offer to buy. I also
have absolutely no interest in trading copies of recordings in violation of copyright laws, so don't bother to ask.
Thanks.

All various artist discs, including
tributes, seasonal collections,
label samplers,
genre samplers, charity collections, and most
soundtracks (single-artist soundtracks are filed under the artist).
I've only twenty-seven classical discs; three by Henryk Górecki and eight by Gustav Holst, and eight are from a bargain line of recordings of The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.
All DVDs are listed in this section, including those that come bundled with CDs or as part of CD box sets.
The list is divided between
music titles (such as live performances and video clip collections) and
"normal" theatrical movies (including
five TV show sets).
A Short Explanation
These listings are in alphabetical order by artist, and roughly chronological within each artist section. The exception is the few classical discs I own, which are listed at the end of the Various Artists section.
Artist
In most cases, when a band or solo act has used multiple names, all are alphabetized under a primary name. Alternate names are then denoted in italics. The article "the" has been dropped from the front of band names.
Title & year
Discs I have purchased since the last revision are marked as . When no title appears (just the year), the disc is self-titled. Also, the band name is left out of disc titles, as in The Berry Vest of or Never Mind the Bollocks, here's.
The year is the year of the original release, not for the particular CD issue.
Label & catalogue number
Labels are listed with the originating label first, followed by the releasing label. For instance, 4AD/Rough Trade would be a disc originally issued by 4AD and then licensed/distributed through Rough Trade. The abbreviation following the label name is the country of origin if not the USA.
In most cases, I have dropped the letters "CD" from a catalogue number where it is used to denote the CD release. If you are a serious discographer & need the exact catalogue number, drop me a line. Also, in some cases there is more than one catalogue number on a disc; any secondary id is in parenthesis after the primary number.
Notes
I have developed these abbreviations over several years. Here's a list of most of them if you need some help:
- C/O
- Cut-out. These discs were either purchased used or from a cut-out bin. For an explanation of what cut-out CDs are, please see my article on cut-outs.
- Promo, PromoOnly
- Promo discs were promotional copies, and I also explain how they are marked as such (my article on cut-outs also discusses these discs). PromoOnly are discs that were only released as promotional items and never released to the public. Discs of these types were mostly purchased used, but I have a few review copies I got for free, and some were bought directly from the record label.
- Used
- With the exception of the discs marked with the two notes above, any disc that was purchased used.
- Single
- CD singles with 3 or fewer songs.
- EP
- Short CDs of 4 or more songs. I've also classified some CDs with 2 or 3 songs as EPs when they were not titled for a song on the disc.
- (1 of 2), (2 of 2)
- Multi-part singles (usually imports).
- 3"
- Three inch CD, regardless of the number of songs.
- LP+EP, 3EPs, etc.
- CDs that compile together several shorter releases.
- 2LP
- CDs that were originally double LPs.
- 2ex., 3ex., Ex.
- CDs with bonus tracks. The number of extra tracks is shown if it is known.
- 2discs, 3discs, etc.
- Multiple disc sets.
- Import
- Imported discs. I live in the US, so these are all non-US releases. The country of origin should follow the label name.
- Live
- Live recordings.
- Boot
- Bootleg recordings. I have not tried to separate true bootlegs from semi-legal imports. The source of the boot (live, demo) should also be noted.
- Comp., RemixComp.
- Compilations of all sorts; only compilations of remixes are specially denoted.
- CD-ROM, CD-ROM(Mac)
- Discs that have both music and some sort of CD-ROM data.
- BMG, RCA, CRC
- Discs which show somewhere on the cover that they were manufactured by one of the CD clubs.
- Lmt.Ed.
- A limited edition of some sort. If numbered, the number is shown.
- DDD, DAD, ADD
- SPARS codes (remember when all discs had these?) -- only noted when it is not AAD.
- 70+, 80!
- Exceptionally long CDs.
