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.

The Tull album with the pop-up is rare... to save money Chrysalis did not include it in subsequent re-issues. Poorly engineered recording however, even for the era.
I don't know whether it is someting to brag about, but I have Joao and Getz LP in near excellent condition with minimal play noise. I also have an SACD version. The SACD is quite close to LP on my system.
Also, I have Brahams Cello Sonata by Dupre and Barenboim in near mint condition.
Well, these two albums may not be that rare, but my two best collections from 500+ albums I have.
I used to have a Banana Splits "floppy" vinyl 45 that you had to punch out of the back of a ceriel box, you had to put pennies on it to get it to play.
My sealed copy of MFSL's Ella and Louis again,managed to buy it from the factory just before they sold out. The rep at the time told me he wasn't sure if they any left but I got lucky.
Also my shaded dog scheherazade in a 10s/10s pressing and my four mint copies of shaded dog 'Gaite' in 1s/1s pressings. Three mint copies of LSC 2436 in 1s/1s pressings and my Stereo copy of 'Introducing the Beatles'- Vee Jay SR-1062.
Having collected LP's for over 25 years i also have my share of expensive mistakes..
