Has anyone here done this? I'd love to see some collections out there, as well as any comments/advice from Hammill collectors on what I may be missing that I don't realize.
After years of gradually amassing the PH albums (an exhausting and expensive hobby, like collecting Zappa and Miles), I'm closing in on what I'd consider the "complete" collection (on CD that is, I'm not counting things like singles and alternate vinyl pressings, etc and I am also excluding several redundant compilations). So, "complete" for my tastes anyway. I do have quite a few vinyl LPs of both PH and VDGG but I am not a vinyl collector, and I don't even have a turntable.
Anyway, here's what I know I still need. I've always got an eye out on Discogs, Ebay, amazon marketplace, etc. for deals, as I am not spending fifty bucks on a live CD that is really only for completion's sake. If I were a rich man....
In The Passionskirche (live Berlin '92) ... I've heard this and much prefer the material on Typical, so it's never been a priority.
Spur Of The Moment (Hammill/Evans)
Tides (is this even an official Hammill release? It doesn't appear to be)
Offensitchtlich Goldfisch (German versions of 12 assorted tracks)
The Fall Of The House Of Usher (second version 1999)
"The Polaroid" 45 single (I'd like to have it just for fun)
... I also just have the 2-disc version of Pno, Gtr, Vox, as I did not jump on the 7-disc box quickly enough at the time.
