How much Stones you got??
Nov 24^th, 2008 at 5:45pm

I could be doing something better with my free time, but of my 4127 songs on iTunes, 510 are performed by or written by the Stones or a solo member (only solo recordings, so Faces tunes don't count). That's 12.36% of my library, with the next closest artist being Ryan Adams/Whiskeytown, at 216 songs and 5.2% and Jay Farrar/Son Volt/Uncle Tupelo at 159 songs and 3.9%. I feel like I listen to a good amount of non-Stones music, yet 12.36% is huge! That's all, carry on.

I don't have any live bootlegs on my iTunes cept for Handsome Girls and Brussels, I do have the good to excellent quality studio bootlegs on there...
My Ipdo is 148 gig, and I have 146 used, and i've had to remove and move stuff, b/c i got alot more I could have on it...
Are they gonna make a Terrabyte iPod?

If you take stock of every cd, lp, tape, vhs, dvd, shirt, hat, poster, news clipping, book, sweatshirt, video clip, jpg, box set, sign, ticket stub, mp3, sticker, tour program, magazine, and patch, you could say I'm one big lunatic for this band.

I'm 100% Stones fanatic every day, every week, all the time, till the end is upon me.

I've just the official stuff and a small number of unofficial studio material on i-tunes.

A lot of my Stones boots collection is still on audio tape. When I stopped collecting tapes and got a Cd-R player in 1999, the tape collection was something around 1,800. Everything since then has been on Cd-R.

I never collected actual bootleg LP/Cd's... far too expensive a hobby...always tapes or CDR's.

I had about 700 hours of the Stones on video prior to getting a DVD recorder about 4 years ago. I've transferred some of it to DVD, but its far too time consuming.

Doesnt help that I collect Dylan and Springsteen in similar quantities as well, although my Stones collection would comfortably be the biggest of the three of them.

I actually havent got that much new Stones stuff in recent years - aside from the last tour - as I've most of what I need.

As for the non-music stuff like posters, magazines etc....I've a few but life's too short to spend so much energy on things that dont really serve any pleasurable purpose. Lack of space has allowed me to be a bit less sentimental about that stuff in recent years.

Oh PLEASE..

You stopped because you ran out of room.

Your "not much" would put most of us to shame...
And if you had a spare room for all your collections and didn't have to move the boxes to find something....

Oh dear lord... Grin

I keep my really special stuff stored away and wrapped up as if it was gold! If anyone goes near my autographed pics or vinyl 45's and albums or treasured collectibles such as stubs and pictures and buttons and pins and good condition posters and memoribelia, I grab it away as if it was priceless treasure ~ DO NOT TOUCH THIS PRECIOUS STUFF!

The clothes I wear and I dont save them because I enjoy rotating my RS shirts, sweatshirts, purses, jewelery and hats and scarves and my most precious OFFICIAL 1982 black satin RS European Tour jacket!

CD's & DVD's~ I make a copy of every bootleg and studio release, store away the originals, then use only the copies so if I lose or break them, it's no big deal because the originals are safe! I only have about 25 bootlegs and all the official CDs and DVD releases.

I have a bunch of Stones books which I leave out for people to look at. Books arent made to be locked away, so I use them as 'coffee table' items and glance through them time and time again. Never get enough STONES! I have some expensive canvas RS art framed and on display. Looking at those every day gives me some Stonesy Satisfaction. I really want an original Woody. Yeah I'll get one someday. Dont know how I'll afford it but maybe I'll stumble into it somehow!

At least you can change the artist/album all at once, just having to change the song titles sucks!

And to those who say they won't ever listen to all the Stones stuff they have - it's cause you're always adding more to your collection! (a good thing I might add)

Yes...Now iamgine doing it with both Stones and Springsteen boots...Oh wait I guess you can. Wink

Anyway.I have slowly been rebuilding my music library since my POS laptop crashed last year and I graduated to a PC. Been almost exactly a year. A rough count says I have 2345 songs in my music library. Of which 330 are Stones related and 627 are Springsteen related.

I have a girlfriend in Chicago who has a collection of Stones stuff like Bitch. Great fantastic collection you have. I am very
envious of your Stones treasures. Her dad had a restaurant there for almost 20 years called Burts. The stars used to
patronize it all the time. Stars and rock stars and etc loved that restaurant. Stones stuff is always very precious. Let's go get drunk
