Don't forget that I'm not a completist in the "buying every issue of every release" sense - just trying to get every mix and track New Order have ever recorded, preferably on CD. I've some 800 CDs (all bought, none copied) in my entire music collection, and I dread to think how many of those are New Order, but I'm not bothered about getting the tape/vinyl/CD of every album, as long as I have a just a CD copy. You have to draw the line somewhere. Mind you, I've got every officially released UK 7", CD and cassette single and 12", as far as I'm aware.

But you need at least ONE empty POT NOODLE used by HOOKY to make your collection worth having!
I too started out only wanting the 12 inch singles for the cover aspect as much as anything else.Then it kinda got OUT OF CONTROL.I still shied away from the early CASSETTE BOX sets...wish i hadn't now.But as time went by i wanted ALL the different edits and remixes.So like you i am not a COMPLETIST.They are many other groups that i listen too aswell.My friend has a collection of near 6000 CD's so again i don't even regard mine as anything special.It is just the legacy of being into this band from the start which made it EASY for me to collect their stuff.The value of it is irrelevant cos i could neither sell nor replace ANY of these for sentimental reasons.Whatever reason we choose to follow this group is GOOD enough by my reasoning.Even if you only have one CD then that is suffice!
I must say though ANDREW,that your collection and the way it is catalogued is indeed a GREAT tribute to you,just wish i had the patience to do something of note too.Please keep up the correspondance with this site because this is why i visit here so much.There is always someone out there with a different and yet good way of doing things.Makes the world go round.
