Name a CD you own that no-one else on your friends list does.
Why do I think that Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here" might qualify? But I'll go with the 1953 Bayreuth Festival recording of "Der Ring des Nibelungen".

Name a book you own that no-one else on your friends list does.
Any number of railway books, including Andre Chapelon's "La Locomotive a Vapeur". But I'll go with something more mainstream: "Collections and Recollections" by GWE Russell, which seemed to provide half the quotes in the ODQ at one time.

Name a movie you own on DVD/VHS/whatever that no-one else on your friends list does.
"The Abduction of Figaro" by PDQ Bach.

Name a place that you have visited that no-one else on your friends list has
Benson, Arizona.

Surely Floyd's Wish You Were Here is one of the timeless classics that everyone should have -- we do.

Where do you source your PDQ Bach? Having sung in his 'The Seasonings', I tend to keep my eye out for recordings, but the only one I've managed to acquire so far is 'Oedipus Tex'.

I guessed that WYWH was one that people would have bought on vinyl, but might not have replaced on CD. Obviously not.

Mostly I got the PDQ Bach by keeping my eyes open in record stores. This particular tape I got by mail order in 1989 - spotted an ad when I was over in the US for Noreascon 3 and had it sent over.

More generally, both amazon.com and amazon.co.uk have a selection - including the Abduction on DVD. Searching for "schickele bach" seems to work.

I've just added "Black Forest Bluegrass" to my amazon.com shopping basket. Money: who needs it?
