Gordon Comstock Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 I'm interested to see what gems other people have in their collections. For GNR albums, mine is either the Red Hand version of Chinese Democracy (sealed) or Live Era on vinyl (unsealed but NM). As for other bands, it's probably a copy of 'GON5O' by Foxy Shazam - the album was only pressed on vinyl once, was never pressed on CD, and sold out fairly quickly. I've only ever seen a few pop up on ebay or discogs, usually for around $100. And for bootlegs, I've got the Axl/DC 3LP 'Hired Gun' set (Werchter 2016), which seems hard to find now. What collectable albums do you guys have? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soon Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 (edited) Im not sure if this is rare, so I hope I dont muck up the thread for serious collectors. Simple called "Mini LP" in small letter and Released by EMI. This is the Canada exclusive version with one extra track (a french one). Its a mix of very early live and studio works. Im 99% certain David Gilmour arranged the lead guitar on James and the Cold Gun (Gilmour kinda 'developed' her as a new artist). Tracks from 79-82' : Spoiler I also have a load of similar kinda Jeff Beck LPs, along with Yardbirds rarities completions and Jeff Beck bootleg LPs. Perhaps my copy of Hymns of the Soviet Union (actually that) is a rarity? Probably not sought after or valuable, but perhaps rare?

RussTCB Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 I don't have anything I'd consider super rare. A lot of stuff I have might be rare now but wasn't when I bought it, if that makes any sense. I do have a lot of records that are worth a LOT more than when I bought them for whatever reason. In case anyone is remotely interested, here's an Excel sheet with my entire collection through today. One tab is for 12" & 10" records the other is for 7" records:https://we.tl/4zlx4dl5cT 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the cheapest I'd ever seen one, I don't remember the exact cost but I think it was a bit under $200 CDN, so maybe $150 US. Definitely the most expensive album I own, but considering what they usually go for I'd kick myself for not getting it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know if there's much else I have that's gone up in value. I have the 'gold stamp promo version' of AFD with the original artwork, and the AFD original artwork picture disc, but don't really know what those are worth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example; I have Tom Keifer's solo LP which I paid $20 for when it came out. A buddy of mine was digging through my record bins last week and shit himself when he saw it. He was like "DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MUCH THIS IS WORTH NOW?! YOU SHOULD SELL IT!!". I said "But I really like his solo LP though. It's not about what it's worth on the market, it's about what it's worth to me". So I never look into that stuff. I feel like I'd be too tempted if I knew what a lot of my stuff is worth now lol.

I know there's some records I could sell if I ever *needed* a few hundred bucks but the sentiment is worth more than the potential profit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Towelie Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 I used to own quite a bit of rare Prince shit, which I regrettably sold before he died and now it's selling for a fortune on ebay. I had the original Crystal Ball silver boxset which I paid £50 for back in the day. I saw it go for nearly £700 on eBay last year. I think I sold it for about £80 one month when I was hard up. I also had One Nite Alone Piano & Vocal album which was a fanclub only album, limited to about 5,000 copies or something. I sold that for about £100, but it'd probably go for triple that these days. I also had the Rave In2 The Joy Fantastic remix album, again, a fanclub only album, limited to a few thousand copies. Sold it for about £40. Saw it on eBay for £150 last year. Suffice to say, I've been a douche. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

username Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 (edited) Also, on topic, not sure about albums... I have the Japanese pressings of Izzy's Ju Ju, 117 and Live albums. Pink Floyds 1992 Early Singles album... A fairly rare heideroosjes live album that only had one pressing. I also have a lot of GnR and Heideroosjes cd singles. Four of the GnR ones are mini-cd-singles. Anybody remember those? Patience, Nightrain, Paradise City and... I think SCOM too. Kind of like this: They're about the size of the later Sony minidisc, or a 3 1/4 inch floppy disc. Which most of you youngsters probably don't remember either.
