how many copies of daydream nation have you bought?
 

ddn was the first sonic youth alblum i ever bought, at the time i was a 16 year old pothead skate rat who would only listen to hardcore punk and gangsta hip hop. sonic youth and ddn nation is a perfect introductory record, because it allowed me to enter into the worlds of indie rock, noise/noiserock, early new york, punk, no wave, avant garde, etc.., not only through the music but also because of the fact that the members of the youth, thurston particularly, champion so much music, all of which is good, this isnt my favorite alblum, my fave sy alblum (that would be evol and badmoonrising) but this alblum pretty much had a lot to do with me developing a more broad and eclectic and all around better tastes in music (note: i still worship hardcore and hip hop too). anyways, because it was the first youth record i bought, i chuckled yesterday when i realized how many copies ive had of it through the years:

three cd's
one cassete
one record
the deluxe reissue

anyone else have a lot of copies of this or anyother sy records?
anyone else bought this alblum many times

I've bought it once.

No, but I've bought lots of different albums.

I don't think I've boughten any SY albums twice.

I bought it on CD a year or two ago, and then the deluxe edition was released. I wanted it, but then realised the extras were just live tracks and a few rarities, so I didn't.
It was my first Sonic Youth album, and it was the perfect introduction to them. If I'd bought Goo or Dirty (the more "accessable" ones), I don't think I would have become interested in them, and tried to buy all of their albums.

the dgc cd and the deluxe edition.

daz al'

I have actually bought one, at aomeba, used, and I switchd the tag from 9 bucks {those assholes!} to 4 bucks as I usually do with used albums at aomebas. I have to buy sonic youth records because I am the only one in my circle of friends who listens to them, and therefore I can not just burn other peoples music.

cd, vinyl, deluxe cd

I got one copy that I got on CD about 6 years ago, and it skips all to hell, so I burned myself a copy as well.

one copy of the blast first edition, i would like to get the russian pirate copy, though.

I bought a Blast First CD copy around 1989, and it was stolen a few years later. I replaced it with the DGC reprint.

Last summer I bought the 4XLP Deluxe Edition. That one's my favorite copy.

Bought it once.

I have the original on CD...and the deluxe...

Pretty boring, actually.

daydream nation was my first sonic youth i got. i didn't buy it though, i got it free from columbia house (well i paid shipping). i did buy the deluxe, so i'm giving my old cd to my gf. my first sonic youth cds i either got for free (presents or columbia house) or i got for really cheap in the used bins at stores. i found the sst evol for only 1 dollar.

i would like to mention that i had to rebuy almost my whole sonic youth collection because i lent 13 of the 17 i had to a friend and i never saw him again. i only had daydream nation, evol, experimental jet set, ciccone youth and dirty left until i started rebuying them again. now i have them all back and a few other ones.

zero. got the LP from my mom and ripped the library's CD copy to my computer.

i've bought it about 5 times in different formats, i guess not including the russian lp, so 6.

how much did the russian lp cost you?

1 non-deluxe CD.

I've got the DGC CD and the Deluxe Edition, in CD too

There are a couple copies at discogs for sale, at a quite fair price. I think i'll get one...

3: Blast First double-LP, Russian pirate LP, Deluxe CD

Only one.

If I had a record player I'd buy a vinyl copy too though.

Ok, so you're looking for a fool. I'll bite.


[nerd alert]

1 DGC CD around 1995

Another DGC CD after I lent my original copy to a friend who then moved to another city. After nearly a year I told him he could keep it as a present and I bought a new one myself. I didn't mind; he really liked it and he was always out of money anyway.

1 Blast First 2LP - gotta love that gatefold

1 Russian pirate LP - kind of a novelty thing

1 Blast First CD - picked it up in a second hand shop once... because of the supposed crap remastering of the DGC reissue I was interested to hear it.

1 Deluxe reissue 2CD


so that's 6 copies, 5 for myself and a giveaway.

[/nerd alert]

1 blast first cd, 1 dgc cassette, 1 deluxe 2cd, 1 deluxe 4 lp.

1 DGC cd.
2 DGC cd, becuase #1 got a little scratch that affected Total Trash if I remember right. I then gave #1 to my friend.

I have the deluxe 4LP box, but I got it for christmas, so...

5
2 enigma/blast first cass, 1 dgc cass, 1 dgc cd, 1 deluxe 2xcd

just 3-blast 1st cassette, dgc cd + the deluxe edition

A friend gave me his factory cassette circa 1989 and I played that until it was stretched out. I didn't own a copy until the rerelease last year.

Three times, CD, Vinyl, Deluxe Edition.

I also have two copies of Washing Machine and two of A Thousand Leaves.

3 copies of ddn - the first one i lost in a fire, the second i still have, and i got the deluxe one 4 my birthday a few weeks ago. in my excitement at the gift, i accidentally ripped the cover when i tried to get the booket out (like a 3 year old, right???). i glued it back together but now the booklet is glued in as well! i shoulda read it before my dodgy repair. live & learn

as i recall i paid $30 for it about 6 years ago on ebay.

I now have 4 copies; original Blast First cd release, the cd longbox, deluxe reissue on cd and vinyl. One of these days i'll own the Daydream boxset too...

I'm up to 6 copies of Dirty now; cassette, orange vinyl, original cd release with and without dirty pic/orange tray, cd longbox (still sealed) and deluxe reissue on cd.

DDN was the second Sonic-album I heard. First I borrowed it from the library and recorded on c-cassette. Then maybe about three years of that my friend told me he´s friend wanted to sell a vinyl where is a poster included. So I bought it. I have only one copy of all my Sonic records.

six by me, too:

2-LP Blast First
LP АнТроп
CD Blast First
4-LP Deluxe
2-CD Deluxe
2-CD-R Promo

So I'm still looking for a cassette. And the boxset ...

did you not fancy the boxset on ebay the other day? there was no bids on it, starting price was £99 but it had a mark on the front and i think it might not have been complete. maybe it'll get relisted.
