Hey Jamal,
For me, it's really about passion for music (borderline compulsive). I just continue to collect music that I enjoy, and over the years, the volume has become quite expansive. So no, I don't have any explicit goals, but I prefer a mixture of different genres since I listen to music based upon mood. I like having the option of many styles to choose from to suit my "ever changing moods."
Peace,

Afro, Latin, Brazilian joints, and Jazz (even better if they have a sprinkling of any of the aforementioned 3 in the sound).
That's where I'm at right now.
But that's really my bag.
Just good Black music in general.

Hey when your house starts to look like that you need to be on hoarders. I know two dealers like this and their furniture has been replaced with piles/boxes of vinyl.

I want a collection in which no records have to be stored in boxes. Each record has it's place in the shelf and each record has meaning to my life. Preferable very few one or two trackers. In the 2000 range (I currently have about 3000).
I'm not there yet, but I'm always getting closer.

I won't give up until I own NM copies of the complete Mantovani discography in its entirety.
b/w
There are 4 labels (all pretty small) that I would genuinely love to own every release of (and am actively collecting at the moment). However, to complete their catalogs I need to do some serious leg-work in Latin America. Ebay / online buying alone will never ever complete this search.
In a more general sense, I would eventually like to create some discographies about selected Latin American labels (a gargantuan effort that has not been taken on at nearly the same scale as it has for African labels / artists). (See: http://www.asahi-net.or.jp/~xx3n-di/07-disco/07051.html & http://funkfidelity.de/philips.htm & http://www.eastafricanmusic.com/polygram_discog.htm for a few quick examples.) Collecting records for that cause would be fun, and I can imagine discovering really cool shit while on the hunt with such a completionist gaze.
Having a goal is essential to staying focused, and you ALWAYS end up at a much different place than you expected to arrive at.

besides what kakalak said about having a little something of everything, my only collecting "goal" is to complete the impulse discography. i'm not at the point where i'm buying impulse records i don't actually care to listen to, and i don't/haven't yet bought any records online but i will cop to carrying a checklist around in my wallet. one of my best friends is going after all the flying dutchman releases, and someday maybe i'll find another bob thiele head and we can really cover all the bases.
LP wise I'm all over the place, but I would like to have it narrowed down to rock, jazz, brazillan, Latin and reggae as that is what I listen to on LP the most. 45s I almost exclusively go for 50s and 60s R&B and soul, trying to scoop Memphis raers whenever I can. I'll also grab the occaisonal funk side as well as the occaisonal rock or foreign side 45 wise. I need to do some purging as I have a bunch of LPs and 45s I never listen to nor DJ out...

I don't know what the rest of his crib looks like, but I suspect that's what all our collections look like when we don't file them away.
And why is his receiver on top of his turntable? Must be pretty cumbersome whenever he wants to listen to vinyl and has to remove that other big thing just to do so...
