Tommy for me. I have the MFSL, 2 disc German, DVD-Audio, and the movie soundtrack.

Vinyl wise it would be Deep Purple - Machine Head. Went thru many copies with cheap ceramic cartridge turntables back in the day....

 

Harvest - Neil Young
ELP - Welcome Back My Friends
Goodbye Yellow Brick Road - Elton John

 

Dixie Chicken - Little Feat
Original LP X4, Original CD X2, MoFi gold, Speaker's Corner LP, Japan remastered CD, plus the MoFi LP, when and if.
Funny...10 doesn't seem like too much.

 

Rubber Soul

US CD. UK CD a couple years later because I wanted a travel copy and this was before I had a CD burner. Stereo UK vinyl. Mono UK vinyl. Japan red mono vinyl. Mono box.

 

The UK pressing is great.

 

I have three vinyl copies of Out of the Mist by Illusion plus the CD that includes it and the followup. I'm pretty sure the same is true for Foxtrot and Nursery Cryme by Genesis.

 

Beatles White Album

Numbered US release 4 copies LP
8 Track
Cassette
Numbered Japanese LP
White Vinyl US
Numbered first issue CD
Mono CD
Stereo CD
Gold CD
25th Anniversary CD Numbered

 

Hmm...

Probably Genesis' A Trick Of The Tail.

2 Atlantic Domestic LPs
1 Japanese Import LP
3 CD versions
1 SACD

 

The Who Live at Leeds. Two vinyl in the pre-CD era, the six track CD release, then the expanded, then the Deluxe with the complete Tommy.

 

For different versions...
The Beatles's Revolver. 3 lp's, 3 CD's and 1 cassette.

For replacement...
Pearl Jam's Vs. I must have had purchased the CD of this 10 times over the years. It's been lost, stolen or scratched to hell so many times that it's almost like I'm not meant to own it. Also, had the cassette.

 

Edit: need to add two releases that i haven't bought myself:
SACD (which i got as a gift)
DVD-A (unofficial Parsons mix release)

I've nearly forgotten the SACD release because:
- as a mch disc, the Parsons mix smokes it out heavily;
- as a stereo disc, i can't stand the two extra pause before TGGITS. It has killed for me the flow of the album.
For sure the less played sacd in my collection.

lol wow for me when i switched from vinyl to cd i rebought about 75% of the records on cd and then got rid of the vynyl.

 

Pet Sounds and The Beatles. I have four versions of each.

 

Oh definitely "Octopus" by Gentle Giant! I originally had three problems with it:

- I was crazy about that record.

- I had a friend in highschool who drove a car, that knew where to go out in the open to find the hot, swirl Vertigo import copy with the cool Roger Dean cover, and kindly and graciously kept taking orders from us lowly, no-lifers.

- I had a terrible "stereo" record player, that kept trashing those hot-cut Vertigos... So I kept bleeding myself white and replacing the worn records with new imports... By the third copy, they had changed to the spaceship label.

(I think it's still better to come clean with stuff like that once in a while...)

Now I finally own four copies: a German-for-the-UK CD (or is it the other way around?), a VG swirl original UK vinyl, a NM (but so-so pressed) UK spaceship vinyl, and a NM Dutch late spaceship vinyl (this one bought knew in the late 80s). I once bought the Japanese mini-LP cover CD too, but didn't like it much and sold it back.
