Lady Gaga CD collection + a little back story

[warhol killer 8,580]

I wanted to share this small (or maybe medium-sized) collection that I have of her albums/compilations. At the start of 2020, it was really just a small collection—having one edition per album was fine for me, but ever since pandemic hit, I started collecting more editions of some of her albums. I also collect based on different album covers, CD designs, or packaging (jewel case or digipack), so that's why my ARTPOP and Joanne CDs are only deluxe, because both standard and deluxe versions of the albums have the same album cover, CD design, and packaging. 

These are all of the Lady Gaga albums I have currently (December 2020):

*If you're wondering what is the difference between the Philippines and the EU/US pressing, some albums on its spine part of the back CD cover says Philippines Edition with a logo of a jeepney on the side. Like this:

 - not my picture btw

The tracks on the CDs are just the same with the EU/US editions. Also, the printing has a small difference - I think the Phil. editions have a cooler tone in the ink/printing (?), and on it's back, it doesn't have the FBI Warning Policy logo unlike the US editions.

A little backstory: 

I started off having 6 albums at the start of 2020. The 6 albums I already had were bought years before (since 2010, the time I started really becoming a stan), which were the The Fame, The Fame Monster Deluxe Digipack, The Remix—the first one I had , Born This Way (Special Ed.), ARTPOP Deluxe, and Joanne Deluxe. I bought them physically, when CD stores were still a thing here. Sadly after 2017, they had stopped pressing western albums here in my country (because online and digital streaming was becoming the norm), so it was very hard to buy the other albums that I wanted to collect. Eventually by the end of 2020, I managed to buy (some are new, some are pre-owned) albums online that were okay or not that costly in its price. Most of these CDs are the EU pressings, since they only sell deluxe editions of her albums here before.

I wanted to share this because I am contented and happy with what I got. It's not much, seeing the other collectors out there (their collections are great ), but collecting these CDs made me really happy during these stressful times. It's kind of like my little escape from the messy world out there haha!

Right now I'm looking for Born This Way: The Collection (Philippines Pressing) since it is the only compilation album that I don't have that is locally pressed. (Other CDs that were locally pressed here were Born This Way-single digipack CD and Applause limited edition single CD, but I don't collect her singles since it is harder to collect them than albums). I'm planning to collect more in the future if I had more time and money.

That's about it.  Thank you for reading my post, and be safe this new year!!
