I'll bet they do. Welcome a bit of the fine arts (gallery) reality to
this music scene... (Andy?) Wilson, who started Factory records said
something like "Avant Garde is so cheap when young, yet so priceless later
on" in his reference to publishing groups like Durutti Column, Joy
Division, etc, etc. That quote is paraphrased a bit maybe.
(butterfly) collectors and trainspotters are generally trying to position
themselves with the highest degree of knowledge and one-of-a-kind info
they can, very much like gallery owners. My personal opinion is that this
is evading the need to be creative oneself, instead of trying to live
closely to another person's creativity... just banter..
quoted 1 line Sheesh,> Sheesh,
Read some of Robert Crumb's comics about when he collected jazz records
and you'll see how that whole mentality is very very timeless.
