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.

I don't buy for collectibility, only enjoyability and playability.
I do, however, still have my original copy of "The Velvet Underground" (banana) album and a 45 rpm Velvet single promotional record. The Velvets only made four 45's.
I have a Lenny Bruce album from the early sixties. One of the jokes is about a bunch of guys flying an airplane into a skyscraper.
I have a 2LP box set of the opening night concert of the Lincoln Center in NY. The included 40-page booklet has photos of the opening ceremonies and history of the concert hall from concept to finish construction. The first track of LP1 is the opening address by John D. Rockefeller 3rd. The concert was conducted by Leonard Bernstein and performed by the New York Philharmonic. I don't know if it is rare or not but I haven't seen another copy of it.
I never pass on any incarnation from members of Buffalo Springfield and the Byrds. Prized LP's: Mint Dillard and Clark's 2 albums. Still would love to find them sealed!

Peace y'all
lots of rare 60's psych (still sealed). lothar and the hand people is just the beginning
This past weekend, at an estate sale, I picked up a Living Stereo double album of Harry Belafonte at Carneige - for $ .50 - in near mint condition.
A gem, and a bargain.
I bought a group of 3 Beatles LP's off of Craigslist yesterday, all in VG++ condition, and one was an original "Introducing The Beatles" (mono). It's not the best recording or pressing that I have, but it's a cool thing to have in my collection.
Back in the day, I had a copy of Mr T's rap album. No idea where it went, but I'm sure it's a collector item now.
