How many MFSL and DCC CDs do you own?

In case you don't know what MFSL/DCC are, they are companies that release audiophile versions of classic CDs and vinyl. 95% of the CDs they release sound better than the standard CD releases you find in stores. The only thing is that their versions of albums are only available to the public for a year. After a year their CDs are no longer available to the public so they become collectors items.

Here's the description of MFSL from Wikipedia:

"Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab (MFSL or MoFi) is a company that produces reissues of classic albums. All releases are made from the first generation master tape and mastered at half-speed, allowing for the finest sound quality possible. In the past, MFSL has produced cassette tapes, LPs, CDs, and even VHS releases of a few titles. In addition, each title is licensed to be mastered, manufactured, and sold within a specific time frame, and because of the limited quantities produced, the releases are highly sought after by collectors.

Although Mobile Fidelity existed prior to 1978, MFSL's popularity began at that time with the Original Master RecordingTM LP. The first titles in the series were classical releases by the Mystic Moods Orchestra. The label hit mainstream appeal with their release of Supertramp's Crime of the Century. To this day, this release is touted by many as the finest available version of the album. Other popular titles followed, such as Steely Dan's Katy Lied, George Benson's Breezin', Fleetwood Mac's S/T, and Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon, all to critical acclaim.

MFSL's releases became highly publicised in 1981 when they released a box set of Beatles recordings. This comprised all thirteen original British versions of their albums, mastered from the original Abbey Road Studio master tapes. With the high-density "virgin" vinyl and half-speed mastering, these versions produced sonic nuance never previously heard on earlier Beatles releases[citation needed]. Each album cover had a picture of the actual studio tape in its box along with the engineer's log sheet. An album-sized booklet displaying the original album covers was also included. The box set was such a success that they followed up with box sets of Frank Sinatra and The Rolling Stones."
