What are the treasures in your vinyl library?

Philojet-

I don't think they were recorded seperately, but they were mixed seperately (not just a stereo summed mono). Some of the versions differ slightly in content too.

From interviews I have read and heard George Martin gave the mono's much more attention and relevance than the stereo mixes.... IMHO the mono's sound significantly better than the stereo versions up until around the White Album.... Trouble is, I haven't been able to find/afford all of those old mono records. Anyone want to make a donation?

A few of the gems:

Cat Stevens "Tea for the Tillerman" Mofi
John Klemmer "Touch" Mofi
Christine McVie Self-Titled
Jackson Browne "I'm Alive"
Rickie Lee Jones "Pirates"
Dire Straights "Making Movies"
Bob Welsh "French Kiss"
Jerry Garcia & Merl Saunders "Live at Keystone"
Bob Dylan "Planet Waves"
Poco "Legend" Mofi
Shawn Colvin "Steady on"
Bob James & David Sanborn "Double Vision"

and many more...

Here are some of my vinyl treasure:

Desert Sessions - Vol. 9 & 10
Queens of the stone age - Songs for the deaf
Grant Hart - Intolerance
Sonic Youth - Goo
Sabu - Jazz Espagnole
Sabu - Sorcery!
Art Blakey - any
And many Hammond tunes...

My most valuable are certainly not my most played, eg a UHQR Tea for the Tillerman, which I have owned since new- I think the old Island pink label I bought off the street for a buck actually sounds better.
Other goodies- Direct to Disc Flamenco Fever :)
Mobile Fidelities like DArk Side and Aqualung
Some valuable pressings off of 'Harry's List,' including some the big Mercurys, RCA's etc.
The best sounding of the bunch of vintage classical are probably the Deccas, some of the Londons, and the Lyritas, of which I have quite a few;
I still have almost all of the records I bought as a teenager, believe it or not- some of them are still in very good condition, but I have them more for nostalgia than playing-
many, many audiophile collectible records from the early seventies and eighties, including Nautilus, M & K, 1/2 Speed Masters, MoFi, Mark Levinson, lots of Japanese pressings, Sheffield, etc.
I really need to organize all this vinyl- I think I'm close to 8,000, maybe more-
Oh, yeah, I found some of Fulton's demo records in a pile not long ago.
And, that Billy Holliday singing at Altamont Airport where you can hear the planes taking off and landing while she is on stage.
I could go on....
