Kristin is a good example of my faithfulness actually. I don't own all her solo stuff, but I do have all the T. Muses records (and there were definitely some diminishing returns in later years there) and a couple of 50 Foot Wave records. I bought Learn To Sing... earlier this year with only moderate expectations. And yes it's going to be nowhere near my Top 20 (30? 40?) albums of the year. Sigh.
I was an A Certain Ratio completist in the 1980s. I lost patience with them around 1987 though. Have bought precisly zip by them since. It was a very sudden parting of the ways.
I remain a Stereolab completist. Yes, I have everything, even if only on mp3. No wait, there's two or three tracks on obscure compilations that I don't have, but that's it. I even spent £90 on the limited edition demos LP that was released by a German art collective (limited edition 12" vinyl with exclusive art print - 100 copies only!) a month or two back. Sad, I know.
