2024 SURROUND RELEASES

[Thonolan]

Interesting discussion here.

In my case, my problem has never been not being able to listen to the stuff I buy (I'm not a collector and I only buy albums I really like, and only one edition most of the times). The problem is that I'm slowly but steadily running out of space... despite having a decently sized house, being young and therefore not having been buying music for too many years yet, and as said not being what you'd call a collector. Of course I have other hobbies that take a lot of space too (books especially, and I own 10 telescopes - I love astronomy and science in general!).

I honestly don't know how true collectors manage to organize themselves

Yes, I get what you mean, but as a expeienced collector, The orginazational part is the real part of collecting.
Documenting what it is and what you have.
To be a collector (someone who cares about what they are collecting) it is almost a requirement to be OCD.
Now things are fairly easy with PC, spreadsheets, auto storage etc.
When I started my Concert Poster collection in the early1980's, with, pen, paper and typewriter, now that was a bitch. Fortunatelly I sold it in 2002 and made out well.

Markie, NEVER has the adage TOO MUCH OF A GOOD THING ISN'T A GOOD THING ANYMORE been more appropriate! I'm with you on that.

And as we speak, four more 'items' arrived from from THE SHARK today [can't resist those 15% off coupons] further inundating my house not to mention ALL those pre~orders from CDJapan coming at the end of November.

When IS enough ENOUGH?

A question I've been asking myself FOR YEARS! 🤷‍♂️

some of us will stop collecting once we stop breathing.

some of us will stop collecting once we stop breathing.

Well, if any of us end up like those people who die alone in our homes but aren’t found for a while, we’ll be collecting dust. Does that count?

So, to keep this on topic... I never started a separate thread (and I think it’s always been assumed) but one of the music mags did a feature on Rush a month or so ago and strongly hinted that Grace Under Pressure from Rush was coming this year which excites me to no end. Trouble is we’re running out of year.

With lead times for mags, I can imagine that if it was planned, a release date could have slipped.
