In which case you have ny deepest sympathy...!

Now, "different copies" would be logically correct here if either you own
six audibly distinct takes/versions of Ms Page's recording...or if six 
different
artists recorded the tune and you own a copy of each! Otherwise, "different"
is superfluous...if you own six copies of the Mercury record, they are 
inherently
"different" objects!

Since I own a fair number of Grey Gull pressings, I often own "different"
records of a given tune...?!
