Heartland

Most prized would be a 7 inch Garbageman by The Cramps which is signed by Lux and Ivy and The Cult box set with extra disc signed by the band.

I've most of the old CD stuff on Invitation au Suicide too, picked them up when someone sold off their goffik collection to a shop that didn't really know the value of these things. My "Ashes" double gatefold 45 rpm is probably pride of place there, so make that number one in the list (in no particular order).

Practically everything by UK Decay, aside from the split single. They're easy enough to pick up at record fairs though. Also have the two limited edition CDs they released recently, one of which is signed by Spon (they would be two and three).

Hmmmm.... some Spacemen 3 stuff on Glass records, but no outstanding rarities; a reasonably comprehensive collection of early Spiritualized; some of the Factory cardboard box cassette releases; a Mumbles promo ( ); lots of old Killing Joke 7 inchers (easy enough to get too), etc etc etc.

Sisters-wise it's just the regular commonly available releases (CD and vinyl), no Body Electrics or Damage Dones (aside from the ghastly bootleg version) here. Handful of bootlegs, most rare probably being a blue vinyl of Saints and Martyrs. I won't include it though cos it's rubbish quality (I also buy records primarily to listen to).

I'm gonna put in some Loop as number 4; another double 45 rpm, this one of A Gilded Eternity. Dunno how rare it is though, but it's a nice thing to own.

Most prized of all is probably the Griffin Music box set CD of Hawkwind's Warrior on the Edge of Time. I've seen those go for utterly silly money recently. That's number 5 (no particular order).

... bet some of those 78s you grew up with are worth a bit now Ness

Yer a cheeky scrote, make no mistake.....

Anyway, sort of on topic (well it's vinyl related) got up into the attic in the new house and the past owners seem to have left all their albums. I had NO idea that Genesis released so many! There's more Kool and the Gang albums than you would want to shake a s**t stick at but there IS a David Cassidy album and a John Pertwee single about being a scarecrow that might have to stay

top 5.. (in no specific order..)

Sisters - Damage Done 7"

A Chud Convention - Patient Sorrow 12" (signed by members from á:GRUMH and Skinny Puppy)

Sigur Rós - Agaetis Byrjyn 2X12" (testpress)

Skinny Puppy - Back & Forth (original cassette ltd to less than 50 copies)

Skinny Puppy - Last Rights LP (testpress with press info)

..I think that's it!

no order:

Phillip Boa And The Voodooclub. Most boring world EP
Phillip Boa And The Voodooclub: Boaphenia Limited
Beatles: White Album
Udo Jürgens: Griechischer Wein 7"

and a little bit sisters stuff.

Lech Janerka - Ur. first pressing signed by author and his wife (also in band) bought for so small price, i could sell in now and get at least 85% extra.
Legendary Polish - and just btw. from my, and his hometown - alternative artist.
that's all. i don't have equipment to play a vinyls so i don't care about it.
now i mostly looking for some "out-of-pressing" CD's.

If the thread is slipping towards precious rather than rare. Then I'd say practically ALL of my records are worth some thing to me as they've all meant something to me at some point in my life and bring back floods of memories each time I hear them or just look at the sleeve!

The m*****n's Serpents Kiss: Started a whole new chapter in my life when I met some of the finest people I am proud to call friends today and the Mish's music back then was like a blast of fresh air.

Rosetta Stone: Darkness and Light E.P.: The hard work , gigs, saving and commitment the band put into not only getting the record made but distributed (Thanks Rob) and to actually hold the record in your hand was amazing!

Rosetta Stone : An Eye for the Main Chance Album ( White Label test pressing) : "See Above" x 10

Sisters of Mercy : Temple of Love 12" 1983 + sticker. An absolute classic tune that will forever stand the test of time.

Guns n Roses : Appetite for Destruction : The finest, dirtiest life altering debut album in history. Everything else at the time sounded s**t and boring. It was the reason God invented amphetamines and Jack Daniel's

The Damend : Neat Neat Neat 7" - Stolen but for a good cause.

U.K Subs: Strangle hold 7" Red Vinyl . That night on Top of the Pops in 1979 they made me realise I wanted to be an individual and not run with the herd!

The Ramones entire back catlaogue. Nuff sed Guvnor!

more to come...

Just been checking up my Joke collection, seems as though I have one of these:



With one of these inside it: http://www.killingjoke.org.uk/images/wdinsertbg.gif

Yeah I've got one of those Killing Joke singles too. Played it too death, was a different version to the album and Pysche on the b-side was instant classic.
I found an 'Ausgang' Test pressing the other day..who ever they were (?!!)

Sisters - This Corrosion 7" - SA pressing *2 - A long story about getting those
No Friends Of Harry - The Present Has Passed 7"
NMA - No Rest For The Wicked Canadian Pressing, signed by JS
Sandy Shaw - Hand In Glove 7"
NIN - Closer To God - SA Pressing, which I'm told is probably worth a pretty penny.

I only paid excessive amounts for the first one, all the others I got for free, bartered for or at a normal retail rate

I used to like Ausgang Ramone, they came from Birmingham and were around in the early eighties until about 86? Released a few 12" and an album. Recently reformed i might add with a myspace page too. Max the singer was/is a nice bloke.

I have the cult dreamtime lp with the live lp, although it's a bit careworn, and the primal scream first 7", that's about it really.

I've got the serpent's kiss 7"; great as it is, hearing 'like a hurricane' for the first time (in a record shop in southampton) was an absolute epiphany. not unlike getting hold of the CNT album.

1. Sisters - The Damage Done 7"
2. Curve - Radio Sessions LP (signed by Toni)
3. Curve - Cuckoo LP (signed by Toni)
4. Zeitgiest - Touch 7" (it's crap, but I have had the guitar line running through my head for years since I first heard it)
5. PJ Harvey - Dry LP (with demo LP)

f**k. I can't narrow it down to five! There's the 7" of Love Will Tear Us Apart I shoplifted about 15 years ago, the rest of my Sisters and Curve collections, not to mention all the Peej, The Neph, NIN and all the other bands I've collected over the years...

I too have a bunch of Curve records that have been touched by the hand of Toni

One of my favorite records in my collection is a Russian bootleg on vinyl of the Stooges Funhouse which has hand painted copy of the original cover with all the tracks listed in Russki and to top all off a nice big heafty anchor for a logo
