Is not easy for someone who decided in 2008 to buy all the new stuff in the itunes-store. So it took some years and a lot of money to get all these late albums on cd.
But now i`m close to the target.Only one CD is missing!
So i got 288 of the 289 official FA-CDs!
Is there someone on this plant who got all the 289 CDs? -

Great Job! I managed to complete the full collection a few years back with all the PK, PW & PS releases.
Replacing some of the AW with the original pressings was expensive indeed! -

Andigilch, congrats, that's quite a collection! How long did it take to obtain and which CD is missing?
Since I mostly enjoy ambient side of things, I would have never tried to get a complete collection, as I won't be listening to many of those. My collection is meagre 79 Fax releases (all original ones, no reissues) and all 3 Y&T ones.
P.S. Damn, it's amazing Mick is still around here. Autumn of Communion is one of my absolute favourite Fax releases (destined to become the last one, sadly). "Organic ambient" indeed! -

Great work on the collection, that takes some dedication. I know of a few completists, Mick being one.
I've been buying Fax since 1993 and I'm just under 30 titles short and a few AW releases which will need replacing with Fax versions if funds allow. It's been fun collecting and looking for bargains rather than buying the first copy you see, patience really does save the ££.
Thankfully I purchased some of the now more expensive titles when they were released. -

Azol - i started collecting with the first release in 1992. The first ca. 100 CDs i bought direct from Pete. The one that is missing is Labyrinth3. -

Complete collection of the PK, PW & PS here and most of the unique compilations. I started buying back in 93 I guess originally the Rising High reissues, then a few Fax originals and AW issues out of HMV and then by mail order from Sister Ray from adverts in the back of NME! Then once I grasped the internet and found 2350.org filling in gaps via Pete direct, ebay and trawling second hand record sites before discogs became so dominant and most new ones from Ear Rational. The last couple for me were 2350 Broadway and Silence II and that was only a couple of years ago, it takes time if you don't want to pay over the odds. -

I have had all the PK, PW & PS for many years now. Whilst I've sold off much of my physical media, the FAX archive stays intact. At one point I found one was damaged and needed replacing but luckily it wasn't Air or Silence. I did buy the odd AW or the MP3 CD where content was different. (Silence series if I ) Then there was Pete's extra-curricular activities like the early trance CDs (Flux, DAX, Roktron etc), Romantic Warrior 'Planet', Soundworks Exchange 2 and his forays into hip-hop remixes ( I know - odd? From that period when he almost broke FAX releasing too many PS discs - possibly a cash flow issue?) Also Pete's mixes on Klaus Schulze's Are You Sequenced. They are all on the shelf too but I was a little obsessive. I wouldn't do that now. I did start collection physical discs with TXT and ISHQ then realised it was getting too much. -

I think I've owned and what is more relevant, I've listened to allí the Fax CD's until year 2.000. That is most of the complete collection and the real core of Fax.
I never had the original Sad World but I bought the double Sad World I+II during the mid nineties and I've listened to both probably more than 150 times, specially Sad World 2.
