Johnny Nightrain Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 (edited) This might be a years-long journey, but I have a far-fetched goal of collecting at least one version of every official GN'R vinyl release. I say one version, because a lot of the releases are the same in multiple countries. For example, I own the German "It's So Easy" 12-inch and it's the exact same thing as the U.K. version. I'm also into picking up promos, but I wouldn't consider the collection incomplete if I'm missing a few. I made my first big step toward the collection this weekend when I pulled the trigger and coughed up $70 for the original cover "Appetite" release, which is actually a good price. Anyway, if anyone is interested, I can post pics of the records as I get them. Also, I'd love to see what everyone else has.

I just happen to have each of the LPs they've released but that's mostly because I'm a completist with many artists in my collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Comstock Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 I have every album except Live Like A Suicide on vinyl... several versions of AFD (regular, re-issue, picture disc, gold stamp promo/banned cover), a few versions of UYI I, even got a copy of Live Era. The most recent records I got were (3 LPs) of the Axl/DC show in Belgium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id love to see you post as you grow your collection! And am excited to see what everyone else has. I only have a copy of Lies which is in really good condition. My partner doesnt love the cover so much so its kinda at the back of the bin. For me a big goal would be to simply get all the studio albums and Live Era, but would be neat to learn whats all out there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Nightrain Posted March 8, 2017 Author Share Posted March 8, 2017 Yeah, "Live Era" is the tough one... only one U.S. pressing and that was it. Here's my limited-edition orange "The Spaghetti Incident?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sosso Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 (edited) I don't know how to upload pictures here so I will make a list: Appetite for Destruction (original artwork) Paradise City / Used To Love Her / Anything Goes GN'R Lies Use Your Illusion II November Rain / Sweet Child O' Mine / Patience Chinese Democracy Chinese Democracy (red cover/ blue vinyl - demos/live versions/Oh My God [single version]) Edited March 8, 2017 by Sosso Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Nightrain Posted March 8, 2017 Author Share Posted March 8, 2017 Pretty standard. Though, this was actually a thrift store find. A very clean "Appetite" for 99 cents. Can't beat that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhazUp Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 The only GNR vinyl I have is the original banned cover issue of AFD, I am glad I found it at a record store it feels good to have an item that isn't too regularly seen at most places Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get In the Ring Motherfker Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 (edited) I only have the original artwork AFD, which I bought in summer for 36 euros.My last money returning from vacation and I had to spend like a day with 70 cents in Athens waiting for the Night Train (pun intended:) ).During my whole 6 hour trip to Thessaloniki I had the Vinyl in my arms so something bad wouldn't happen to it. I'm so glad it made it alive and well.I'll post pictures when I get home PS : I don't even have a turntable Edited March 9, 2017 by Get In the Ring Motherfker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure, but also not sure what you mean to be honest. How can you be sure they are missing it? They may just be jukebox singles. Those only came with a generic sleeve.

Check out all of these for sales: https://www.discogs.com/sell/release/706496?ev=rb Almost all have a "generic" sleeve listed and the ones with the sleeve, in good shape, are a bit pricey for a U.S. 45.
