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.

All sorts of first pressings and the like.

Off the top of my head:

U2 Live Under a Blood Red Sky on red vinyl Australian Tour Edition signed by the band.
Original pressing of Velvet Underground on Verve records, unfortunately no banana!
A couple of Small Faces original pressings I bought recently - Autumn Stone and From the Beginning.
Many vinyl bootlegs of Pink Floyd.
Original pressing on Blue Thumb records with gatefold cover of Captain Beeheart's Strictly Personal.
Complete collection of the Australian Prog band Spectrum's albums.
An original mono pressing of Beatles Revolver and a mono of Sgt Pepper (bought for $2 as condition was described as "cactus" - after a clean it don't look great but it plays fine!).

All of the above, except the U2 as I have other copies, are played when the mood takes me.

I saw a copy of that Jethro Tull Stand Up with the paper cutout inside at a record fair last year, looked nice and wasn't cheap. Great album too.
