Also spelled "completest", here are two questions for you vinyl LP fanatics:
1. As a vinyl fan, how would you define "completest" (i.e. just one of each authoritative LPs, or all those plus all color variations, or every variation of every kind, etc.)?
2. According to your definition of "completist", for which musicians or bands would you say you have reached the stage of completist?

2. Pearl Jam, Metric, Letters to Cleo. Missing one from - The Police, Guster.

I also have every Weeks and Oh Sees album too.
sealed to me is more of the “collection”, open is to listen to.
it’s less fun to have a collection of anything you can’t also enjoy
Depending on the band I collect different specific categories. Sometimes it’s everything sometimes it’s just box sets or live releases.
so it 4 copies of Riot Act for example
Christmas singles don’t interest me so not having those doesn’t affect my collection being complete
I can’t be “complete” until I get two Bennys. Other than that I’m done so I’ll probably stay incomplete
but it looks like it’s only the 7 inch box. People will go nuts for those singles. I just had to draw the line somewhere

I don't have complete collections of any band. Just stuff I really like and just enough of a collection to actually listen to and not sit around collecting dust.
2. My Morning Jacket, Elliott Smith, Ben Harper (all releases), Soundgarden, Spoon, Brandi Carlile, Radiohead, QOTSA
I'd say PJ, but I don't own Benny or LD

2. No one. Finding foreign copies and all variants is next to impossible.
If it is just one of each release ... then my list would be long.
Last time I check the price of Lost Dogs vinyl it was the price of a down payment on a Jaguar.

I kind of hate to admit this, but with all due respect to Pearl Jam, if I had a copy of Lost Dogs in vinyl I would sell it. I have the CD and it is my least played PJ.
