I got Let’s Dance by David Bowie for myself for my birthday, but I haven’t opened the package or anything yet because I want to make sure none of my friends are giving it to me for my birthday also (I haven’t seen them yet)
Update: I was safe to open it 
Left-right, top-bottom::
U2 – The Unforgettable Fire (1984)
U2 – Achtung Baby (1991)
U2 – How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb (2004)
Muse – HAARP (2008) (This is a live CD+DVD set from their concert at Wembley Stadium)

So a few months ago I finally got…
– Bella Donna (1981) and
– The Wild Heart (1983) by Stevie Nicks
– Tusk (1979) by Fleetwood Mac
I got
– Barrett (1970) by Syd Barrett
– Wet Dream (1978) by Richard Wright (yes, only maybe a week before they announced that Steven Wilson would be remixing it and it’s coming out later this month 
– The Joshua Tree (1987) and All That You Can’t Leave Behind (2000) by U2
– Say You Will (2003) by Fleetwood Mac (something of an impulse buy after randomly getting obsessed with a couple of the songs, then watching a making-of documentary)
– The Endless River (2014) by Pink Floyd
I’ve really been rounding out my collection, sort of filling in the gaps with albums that I have either put off purchasing for one reason or another, or consider less important/lower priority. Lots of latter-day or solo projects here.
It looks like a lot, but I buy a lot of super cheap beat-up used copies of CDs on eBay because I am Cheap(TM)

…sensible! 
I’d estimate that 65-70% of my lifetime of purchases (vinyl, 8-track, cassette, CD) have been previously-owned ones, better to spread em around cheap than to waste resources pressing new x-pensive ones!
…And so, I’m happy for whoever now has my own old CD copy of “Belladonna” which I ditched before a 2017 move. (Still got the 2Cd “Tusk” tho!)

Beatlebug, RubePaul: Yeah well… first of all, we’re bringing out a ‘Stamp Out Detroit’ campaign.
