Hi fellow Rejects!
TL;DR: Collector nerd wants to create a higher quality Discogs dedicated to Green Day.
The renewed Green Day FM / Rejects Club / Green Day Live gave me an idea and I’m curious if others are interested in such a project as well.
I’ve been enjoying Green Day for nearly 20 years now and one of my big hobbies is collecting their music. It started out with collecting CD Albums, then Single CD’s, Vinyl, Cassettes, different countries pressings, different pressing all together and now basically anything that seems to be a little different from anything I already have.
I’ve been keeping it all neatly in my Excel sheet, now ranging over 400 different media items related to Green Day. Containing details like catalogue numbers, barcodes, matrix runouts and details on contents + room for extra comments on variations.
Next to that I’m also in the (not always so dedicated) process of digitalizing everything I have. I’m also planning on adding pictures/scans of the contents etc. etc. basically trying to create a digital catalogue of my collection.
This brought me to the idea of compiling a sort of Discogs like catalogue of Green Day media. Aiming to raise the quality of te catalogue like the GDFM team is doing with the Green Day Live project (over Setlist.fm).
I’m curious to see if people are interesting, what kind of quality standard we want to set and to what extend GDFM is able/willing to provide such a catalogue (both in the IT technical aspect as well as copyrights).
My ultimate goal would be to have a full catalogue of every bit of released Green Day media, incl. release details, pictures etc for reference to archive what has been released in all it’s different appearances and easily check different releases for collecting purposes.
Curious to see your opinions.
