Brag About Your Vinyl Collection


There are a couple of posts for listing your favorite albums, but what about those albums that you've collected simply for value or rarity? Here is your chance to tell about some of the rare and valuable records in your collection, where you found them, how you store/display them, etc.

Proudly displayed in my record room is a sealed 300gm UHQR of Alan Parsons "i Robot". Even the shrink wrap is mint condition. I also have an opened copy that I play once in a while - totally stunning sound!
Roger Waters "Amused To Death", two copies, one never played. Original Decca "Espana", not the reissue. Doug Macleod's "Hard To Find", again, one opened, one put away. 8 different albums with R. Crumb designed covers, all in mint condition, all framed.
"How can the record Bad by Michael Jackson be rare. They made plenty of copies. Just because your friends don't have it doesn't make it rare."
'Cause most folks used them for skeet!
I have two one-of-a-kind Lp's. Sheffield Direct-to-disk Lincoln Mayorga. One album is comprised of two side A's back to back, the other is two side B's. Don't ask me why I did it... it was 1973 and I was still in high school working at the pressing plant where they were made. Seemed like a good idea at the time. Guaranteed to be the only copies like this in the entire world. Also have a really cool "Tubular Bells" picture disk I'm really fond of. Clear vinyl is the ultimate in quietness, btw.
