After aristotle, there seems to be a deep seated human need to collect the things we like. A real james joyce enthusiast may even go so far as attempting to read finnigan's wake. In music, the true fan is not the one who listens to a greatest hitz album over and over but who owns a copy of every album the band released. The classical music buff can discourse on the fine points of obscure orchestral recordings from the 19 ifties.
