Following this thread is like watching you build band discographies/collections. It's fun.

I recently bought:
-Black Sabbath- Headless Cross (thus completing my non-Ozzy/Dio Sabbath collection. It's a 1999 printing from EMI, not IRS? I don't know anything about that)
-30 Seconds Before the Calico Wall (killer compilation of lesser known and unknown 60s fuzzy garage/psych. I love these type of comps, and there are a million of them, never ending supply. This is a powerhouse one though).

I am in the middle of writing a big two-part article for my blog unraveling the mysteries of Diamond Head's discography. Specifically, I am attempting to explain exactly what is on all of their various CD anthologies, compilations, live albums and studio albums. They have an absolutely insane amount of compilations for a band that only released three full length albums from their 1980-1983 "classic lineup."

I have been buying up a bunch of these anthologies to figure out exactly what's on them.

That should be a fun read. Have any of their anthologies/comps been extra pricey, out of curiosity?

Not really. Most of them are fairly cheap and readily available. They have at least four compilations called Am I Evil and most of them have different track listings!
