Most Albums Ordered/Bought At Once
The clue's in the title really, I'm currently planning how to spend my first pay packet from the job I start tomorrow. (later today, didn't realise what time it is!) I am building an order on Amazon, now standing at 16 albums to the value of £140.78. It might grow by a few albums by the time I order it, but not lots. I would price up the same order on Play, but it'd probably end up being not more than a pound or so different and for that difference it's too much effort

Don't you have any bills to pay?
Good luck with the job. |

Sort of, car insurance as a named driver on Mum's policy at £50/month but I have been paying for that out of savings ATM. I'm still living at home, being 17 and in full time education. The savings are about to run out though, hence the job

Ahh so you still have the luxury of living at home. Although when you live at home having your own place seems like luxury. Anyway, just wondered how you were able to splash out. Don't forget to put, ' you are the quarry' on your album list, and to answer your question, two.
Drive carefully. m.m. |

The most I bought at once was when I ordered the entire back catalogue of Iron Maiden and Bruce Dickinson (over 20 albums). Came to just over £250.00
The next one I'll be having a go at is the back catalogue of all of Queen's albums which totals around 20 odd albums an possible if I have enough money the entire Led Zeppellin catalogue also. |

I think my limit is usually five.
Don't you find that when you buy albums like that you end up hardly listening to some of them? I bought that Norah Jones record on an impulse spree and I have never listened to it. |

I regularly do 7 - 10 hour round trips depending on whether I decide to drive or take the train so that gives me ample opportunity to catch up.

Most I've ever purchased in one go was probably about 5. I rarely buy albums though, so that was quite a hefty shopping spree for me - I'm more of a 'singles' guy
Can't remember what albums they were exactly, but I think it was a couple of compilation CDs and a '3 for £20' in HMV - it was around the time of the BritPop era (say 1996/97)...

126..
Holiday in America in '86, I hit the second hand shops-hard...Bought a HUGE hold-all and carried them on the plane home as hand luggage. Following year, I kept it down a bit, only 92 that year!!! Oh yes, these were all vinyl too, no CD's.... |

Thankfully, I have made very few errors of judgement. |

All 19 of them. Last edited by dodgygeeza : 07-08-2004 at 01:26. Reason: didn't realise it was Saturday already |

They did..just about!!
The worst thinkg was getting them through customs....most cost only 30 or 50 cents, and I'd left the price tickets on in case I got collared, but would they have believed them?? Fortunately,, I didn't have to test it out
