Over time, the concept of "collector" has evolved. If today evokes a collector's disc with circulations below average or a limited time, in the language of the collector, the collector has several meanings. Paradoxically, in the eighties, the term collector was very little used. It was not until the late ninety's and early 2000s to some LPs of the era became collectibles. In common parlance, means first and foremost a collector a rare find. Simply. As is often the argument of the merchant to justify the price. However, there is no disc collector type. A disc can become a collector by the rarity of the photo used for the cover. It may also be a first printing quickly withdrawn from sale, in which case the disc may take only value. To monitor closely the imported records. A collector may appoint a disc remained in a state of "promo" or withdrawn from sale and not sold. The collector in this case will be further investigated whether the single is an unreleased mix or better, an unreleased track, or first version. (This does not mean that all discs "promotion" are collector's items.)
The rarity of pressing may raise the odds of a rare record, as the proliferation of media: poster pocket, Picture Disc , CDVidéo, etc.. A pocket-off may be a standard disc a collector. For example, Marc Lavoine CDsingle "The world is so con" in 1987, has a cardboard sleeve which dimensions 13 cm x 13 cm are slightly higher than a standard pouch. The disc collector can take several faces ... provided it is identified and recognized. Indeed, a disk may be very rare little research, whether its existence is little known!
A disc can result in several reprints with a few minor changes (letterpress, label printer, paper quality ...), but some collectors crave.
Finally, some editions are numbered. While some collectors attached to a favorite number, it is rare to find hardcore the complete collection.
