Lonman, you are so right, however, I have a very large number of customers that bring in their CD's and want me to play them. On busy nights that is tall order at times, but if I have the exact song by the same Manufacturer I can play mine (usually from their history). If I have have it in their history it is guaranteed that it is the same exact song. So having more, in my case, saves me lots of work.
I do the same thing as I get alot of people that bring in their discs as well. If I have the same version, i'll just play from mine, otherwise I play it from their disc - the majority of singers that bring in discs use SC primarily, so chances are I already have it, if not, will try to custom it from Clark. If it's something that I think others would be interested in, i'll go ahead and look to get the song in the same version as well - if possible.
I was never one to purposely buy a bunch of stuff just to have a bunch of duplicates from different manus. Typically 1 is good enough, and if they want another version - then they can ask or bring in their own, otherwise generally there are no complaints. Now if I DO get complaints on a version I list - or even I think it warrants replacing because it is just that bad, I will look into replacing at that point, which I have done on occasion.
