My name is Mats and I´m from Sweden, Europe. I´m 48 years old and started collecting Mötley Crüe records/stuff around 1984. To collect Mötley Crüe records/stuff/see live shows is a type of life style, it´s sitting in your heart, really hard to explain...If you collect something you can collect all, or a part of it, or as I’m always saying....I focus on the records firstly! I have a lot of other stuff also like guitar pic´s, drummsticks, posters, books, press kits, photos, buttons....but it´s the records are NO 1. I rekon you see 75% of my collection on this page!
Well, the first time I heard the song "Live Wire" around 1983, I was totally sold on this band! My favorite album is Too Fast For Love, no question about it! The hunger, energy and passion the band had then...holy shit! Mötley Crüe has changed a lot since the Too Fast For Love album came out 1981 to Saints Of Los Angeles 2008, but that´s a cool thing about changing, why listen to what everyone else says....Mötley Crüe has never done that and never will do....one word: RESPECT!!
It´s a good way for me to have a little bit of control of what records I have. Hopefully, could some of the info also help other collectors worldwide!

Will I quit collecting? Well lately I have thought about it...so we will see what happens! I have been contacted by at least 4-5 collectors worldwide who are intrested in my stuff, IF I quit collecting, but as I said IF it will happend I will not promise anyone anything! In the end it´s always the money which´s talking and it will probaly do the same thing this time... As a seller you always want as much as you can so it’s nothing special about that.
