I am now old enough to have lost track of how many times some albums have been released and re-released. To browse a streaming service or look over the iTunes store and find a ton of albums with a 10th anniversary, the newest remastering, the ultra-deluxe box set and so on.
Myself, I bought Sgt. Pepper's when it first came out in 1987, got the remaster in 2009 and recently got the most recent on iTunes because why not. But not the box set!
So what albums or artists are you content with what you have already? Or what would it take to buy the next new version of the same old thing?
after buying the same album like 2-3 times i’m done lol. unless theres actually unreleased tracks or something new i cant justify it. feels like paying again for the same thing 🤪

I think I've had it with most. Most albums I wanted a remaster of had one, and I'm finding anything from the past 30 even 40 years is generally recorded such that remasters don't matter. I'm especially done with Pink Floyd and the Beatles, though a Blu-ray release if Revolver or Meddle might tempt me.
BR might tempt me for a few other artists, but we'll see.

I’m more annoyed at the albums that haven’t released or released due to legal issues. Also, the records that have 5 plus variants.
I don’t mind remasters (some are needed) or even deluxe editions because you get something different or more than the initial release.
My answer is Taylor Swift. I haven’t bought one yet and I won’t. I won’t even add to my wishlist. It’s not that she’s a bad artist but the way she packages her music.
I’d buy Revolver and Rubber Soul at least 3 more times though.
