Praxis on discogs.com
Most of the readers of this blog will know the site discogs.com which is a user generated online discography and marketplace. Users can also database their collections and add records they are searching to their want lists.
Spending a boring sunday evening at the record shop/bar I decided to make some charts, going through the numbers of releases listed in discogs collections and want lists. Note that these are not the actual numbers of records pressed and/or sold, but merely what discogs users list in their collections. Roughly it seems that about 10-25% of originally pressed records are listed in collections.
The first two lists are compiling the numbers in the collections, the first combining all formats (vinyl, CD, files) in the case of releases which were released in different formats. In the second chart the different formats are split. It’s notable that all titles in this top ten are vinyl releases.
The third list are what people are listing in their want lists….
