Some five years ago my biggest goal was to collect all the essentials, I mean ALL the classics and even more - but then I finally found a LIFE and just didn't have the time, and not even the money, to continue the collecting. After that, I really lived almost one complete YEAR before I visited any music store. Then, another year went by, and although I did buy some CDs, I felt I didn't NEED to collect that "essential" collection anymore - maybe I had grown up a little bit to understand that I had been merely obsessed with the IDEA, not the music itself.

Then, after a third year, I finally decided to get an Internet access - and, as my saying goes, the rest is history...

Since I HAD BEEN collecting these "essentials" plus other stuff ONLY TO expand my collection - not actually listening to them - during the autumn of 2001 I decided to get rid of almost half of my collection. Thus, I got acquainted to the wonderful world of trading (and getting acquainted also to CDRs, bootlegs and other stuff, which I WOULDN'T NEVER BEFORE wanted to receive - that's how the tide turns sometimes... )

So the resolution is that nowadays I AM OBSESSED with the thought of getting all those most wanted scores on CD - and the future seems to look VERY bright because I've got acquainted to so many GOOD, trustworthy traders who seem to want to make more trades with me (- AND, HEY, all YOU guys & gals out there - please hold on; I won't be able to start any trades before I have moved myself to another apartment...)

So, I'm not actually obsessed with film music collecting anymore,
but more precisely collecting ONLY the scores that I really, REALLY, want.
- Besides, the film score industry nowadays seems to lack all that "melody magic" I prefer, so this kind of new obsession suits me very well.
I know, I'm a traitor

PS. Galina - warmest thanks for the "recommendation" -
I've been just wondering what I have done to earn that kind of thing from you ?

Before I moved into this apartment - we had a garage sale where I sold some of my books and that was equally as hard. When I sold my first batch of classics I became visibly upset. That's sentimentality for you.

Parting is such sweet sorrow....
