ddn was the first sonic youth alblum i ever bought, at the time i was a 16 year old pothead skate rat who would only listen to hardcore punk and gangsta hip hop. sonic youth and ddn nation is a perfect introductory record, because it allowed me to enter into the worlds of indie rock, noise/noiserock, early new york, punk, no wave, avant garde, etc.., not only through the music but also because of the fact that the members of the youth, thurston particularly, champion so much music, all of which is good, this isnt my favorite alblum, my fave sy alblum (that would be evol and badmoonrising) but this alblum pretty much had a lot to do with me developing a more broad and eclectic and all around better tastes in music (note: i still worship hardcore and hip hop too). anyways, because it was the first youth record i bought, i chuckled yesterday when i realized how many copies ive had of it through the years:

three cd's
one cassete
one record
the deluxe reissue

anyone else have a lot of copies of this or anyother sy records?
anyone else bought this alblum many times

[EMMAh]

I've bought it once.

[Pookie]

No, but I've bought lots of different albums.

[HaydenAsche]

I don't think I've boughten any SY albums twice.

[Death & the Maiden]

I bought it on CD a year or two ago, and then the deluxe edition was released. I wanted it, but then realised the extras were just live tracks and a few rarities, so I didn't.
It was my first Sonic Youth album, and it was the perfect introduction to them. If I'd bought Goo or Dirty (the more "accessable" ones), I don't think I would have become interested in them, and tried to buy all of their albums.

the dgc cd and the deluxe edition.

I have actually bought one, at aomeba, used, and I switchd the tag from 9 bucks {those assholes!} to 4 bucks as I usually do with used albums at aomebas. I have to buy sonic youth records because I am the only one in my circle of friends who listens to them, and therefore I can not just burn other peoples music.

cd, vinyl, deluxe cd

I got one copy that I got on CD about 6 years ago, and it skips all to hell, so I burned myself a copy as well.

[█████████]

one copy of the blast first edition, i would like to get the russian pirate copy, though.

[gmku]

I bought a Blast First CD copy around 1989, and it was stolen a few years later. I replaced it with the DGC reprint.

Last summer I bought the 4XLP Deluxe Edition. That one's my favorite copy.

[Trasher02]

Bought it once.

[barnaclelapse]

I have the original on CD...and the deluxe...

Pretty boring, actually.

daydream nation was my first sonic youth i got. i didn't buy it though, i got it free from columbia house (well i paid shipping). i did buy the deluxe, so i'm giving my old cd to my gf. my first sonic youth cds i either got for free (presents or columbia house) or i got for really cheap in the used bins at stores. i found the sst evol for only 1 dollar.

i would like to mention that i had to rebuy almost my whole sonic youth collection because i lent 13 of the 17 i had to a friend and i never saw him again. i only had daydream nation, evol, experimental jet set, ciccone youth and dirty left until i started rebuying them again. now i have them all back and a few other ones.

[Cantankerous]

zero. got the LP from my mom and ripped the library's CD copy to my computer.

[CHOUT]

i've bought it about 5 times in different formats, i guess not including the russian lp, so 6.

There are a couple copies at discogs for sale, at a quite fair price. I think i'll get one...
