PAT'S OMD COLLECTION!!!!
What you see listed here is many years of hard work and devotion as fan of OMD. I enjoyed their music in the mid to late '80's (high school years for me), but really didn't get into collecting unitl just a few years ago. My collection lacks some of the older items (i.e. "Electricity" 12' LP, "Joan of Arc" CD single etc...) but believe me, I have gone to great lengths to find what I have. All of the videos were purchased from the UK and I had them transcribed into NTSC, which is compatible with US VCR's. The concert tapes come from various pen pals around the country, many in Europe (Germany, Scotland and Wales to be exact.) and a few here in the US.
Most of the CD singles and 12" vinyl came from places all over the US (literally). During my years as a minor league baseball player, I would travel from town to town in all parts of the country. Every town I went to, I would always find the local music store that specialized in imports and phone them to see if I could find something of OMD that I didn't have at the time. To this day, I will still call some of my favorite music stores across the country and see if anything used, rare, or something I don't have has come in. Anyway, enough blabbing and on to my collection.
