Mine are chronological: I like to see the crab-like evolution mapped out on the shelf.

If you use a method not listed here, please detail that below.

How do you file your non-Fall albums?

For the most part chronological - But it rarely stays that way

Why not?

I end up leaving them lying around the hi-fi - or next to the PC, or they end up under the couch or they go mysteriously missing and turn up a few days later... :o
The cover for my copy of Live 77 has gone permanently AWOL since the missus used it as a bookmark...

You could always substitute one of those other identical live covers.

Agreed...that's why I wsan't bothered...they're not exactly the best for sleeve notes...
In fact I could scan the back cover of the paintwork

And what about LPs and cassettes and videos and DVDs?

Mine are random, by the way.

Ha,ha,ha!

We should do a poll to see how many Fall records people own. There are about 80 or so albums. I'm sure nobody has got all of them. The Japan box sets can't be too common, for example. What's the most difficult thing to get hold of, do you think?

I would guess the most difficult Fall records to get hold of are:

LPs
Room To Live (white vinyl) Line Records
Hex Enduction Hour (white Vinyl) Line Records
Perverted By Language (white vinyl) Line Records
In A Hole (Dbl)
This Nations Saving Grace (Red Lettering?) inc. Press montage & Group Pic (Canadian copy)
Levitate
The Marshall Suite 10”


7”
Marquis Cha Cha (Ex/Ex)
Totally Wired (New Zealand) Released by Gap Records
Rude All The Time/ I Wake Up In The City (flitwick)
Why Are people Grudgeful? (Green Vinyl)
Kimble (White Vinyl)
So what about it/Edinburgh Man (Promo)


& also the following cassettes:
Live at The Witch Trials
Hit The North
Light User Syndrome
Marshall Suite
Levitate

It's 78 albums from Live At The Witch Trials to 50,000 FFs Can't Be Wrong.
But this doesn't include Japan box-sets. They are simply collections of other existing albums. Same goes for Time Enough At Last (Castle CMETD706, 28 April 2003): Box set comprising: 15 Ways To Leave Your Man, Live / Oxymoron / Cheetham Hill

I think there was a thread on how many albums people had a good while back...but there's loads of new members about so it would be worth doing again...
I'm sure someone said they had about 300 including reissues...

It's 78: I've counted.

might have been including bootlegs, singles etc...
Had a few tapes of gigs myself but stupidly lost them over the years..

Is it my imagination, Martin, or are you slightly obsessed with those Japan box sets?

Of course you could always file your Receiver CDs in the bin.

I don't have the receiver stuff out (all two of them) think I chucked them in a box to make way for other music

They all start off in some form of order but very quickly scatter around the room as if by magick :huh: :unsure: <_<

i also have this problem....

Here's a question for the obsessive - Do you put the live stuff in with the studio stuff?
And another question: Where's my anorak?

Chronological. Compilations and live albums are placed by (predominant or most recent) recording date, not by release date, and are mixed in among the "proper" studio albums.

I have never heard of a Marshall Suite 10". Does it really exist? It isn't mentioned in the discography.

Mine are in several last-in-first-out stacks.

It's in the outside bog hung up, it's been there so long you've got a set of Badgers nesting in the pockets :whistle:

do badgers nest ?????? or do they sett ???? :nahnah:


rushes off to get anorak..........................................

And yours has got a gaggle of antelopes in the side-pocket! :P

:lol:

Not really obsessed, I'm just interested to know what sort of sleeve notes, if any, they have...any photos not on the original albums, stuff like that...nothong obsessive.

I haven't heard of this either. Are you sure it exists?

do any of us really exist? :confused: or r we figments of fallfandaves imagination???

My underpants exist, it's the rest of me I'm not sure about. :D

Underpants exist in a timeline all of their own so my grandad said, 'never underestimate the power of your underkeks' -_-

Yeah, and make sure you always have a clean pair on in case you're involved in an accident.

Mi alcy mate always carries a spare pair around in case he has an 'accident' :)

Used to be a boy scout, always prepared! :D

I don't know where all this anorak stuff came from; but as long as I've got all the songs that are available I'm not that bothered what format they come in but saying that I've still got "Bingo Masters" 10" 78rpm :D

I think that's the important thing, to have all the songs available and stuff the format. Although I do own the Drum Club remix of Middle Class Revolt and the original Acklam Hall cassette. And Dresden Dolls bootleg single. Seriously, this white vinyl nonsense is for ebay freaks and nutter completionists.

Re: this white vinyl nonsense is for ebay freaks and nutter completionists.

sorry mpetersvalencia but u did ask :huh:
What's the most difficult thing to get hold of, do you think?


Anyway, what's wrong with buying from ebay. You don't have to go hunting for the stuff and it's in a a lot of cases much cheaper, esp. if bought on German site
oops - i'm into trainspotter mode now :unsure:

OK, since you asked, my 400+ Fall CDs are filed in groups as follows:

1. Singles - incl CDRs of vinyl singles - chronological by release date
2. Official albums - chrono, incl official live releases & compilations, by album release date - within album by edition release date (eg. 4 versions of Grotesque all together - 1993 Castle, 1998 Castle, 1998 Voiceprint, 2004 Sanctuary)
3. Live bootlegs - chronological - approx. 250 gigs on CDR
4. Radio sessions - CDRs ex. radio brodcasts - chrono (intermingled Peel, Long, Goodier, Elms, etc)
5. Peel sessions - 22 CDRs pre-production Sanctuary 2005 Box Set - session order
6. Studio demos, rehearsals, outtakes, alternate mixes - random
7. Voiceprint & Sanctuary pre-production and studio masters - working order
8. Interviews, sundry (Hey Luciani play, spoken word performances, Falling Through Time) - random
9. Promo CDs - chrono
10. Digital video files on CDR & DVDR - random
11. Original versions of Fall covers - chrono by Fall release date
12. Spin-offs & MES guest vocals - Creepers, Blue Orchids, Fates, Ark, Hingley's Lovers, etc - chrono within artist (more or less)
13. 4 or 5 unlabelled CDRs that I can't remember what's on them

Videos, DVDs, books, tapes, correspondence files, photos of Julia's Dad's watercolour paintings, etc kept separately.

Yes, I did ask, and I wsas interested in the answers, but that doesn't mean I'm obsessed about owing all that stuff. If you are, then good luck to you, I say diplomatically...

Crikey!
Is it too late for me to be added to your will?

Get to the back of the queue!

hang on, you were interested in the answers (ok I get that)
but that doesn't mean you are obsessed. I don't recall anybody saying you were obsessed. I think you should stick to inane postings which ur pretty good at. :lol:
