What is your most prized Record/CD/Cassette

For me, even though it's a repress, I love my copy of Neptunes Lair.

As far as other candidates go:

Tomita - Snowflakes Are Dancing

Telex - Moskow Diskow

Newcleus - Space Is The Place / Cyborg Dance

Sleeze Boyz - Robo Cop

AFX - Analogue Bubblebath Cassette

Raymond Scott - Manhattan Research Inc.

Bochum Welt - Robotic Operating Buddy 10"

DMX Krew - Ionospheric Exploration

Chuck Person - Chuck Person's Eccojams Vol. 1 Cassette

Also, Artificial Intelligence 2 on Cassette.

russian vinyl bootleg of the white album.

the records are so thick and so sharp at the edge that i reckon you could do an oddjob and cut someone's head off with them.

bizarrely, where there are photographs of the beatles on the original, there are drawings of the photographs on the bootleg.

also, original vinyl pressings of four steely dan albums, an original 10" of kode9/daddy gee's sine, and a bunch of other stuff.

both rare and awesome.

i own a number of magma records and they are pretty rare/valuable to me.

I love Magma! Which ones do you got?

kobaïa, mekanïk destruktïw kommandöh, 1001° C, köhntarkösz and a couple live albums.

i also own a bunch of takoma stuff. robbie basho, john fahey. the basho stuff is really difficult to come by and also very beautiful music.

I used to have "live" and "attahk" on vinyl but I sold both in favor for my Magma CDs.

stumbling across this record was just so right. when you first put needle to the groove and hear the crackling leading into central line it's like having a conversation with god

i have a stereo first pressing of miles davis "kind of blue" that's worth something or another, but it's probably not my most prized. that would probably go to my signed copy of dr. dooom's "first come, first served." kool keith rules.

Not rare in the slightest but a CD Future Sound of London's Dead Cities was the album that completely changed my perception of music. I ended up playing it so much that I had to purchase a second copy as it started skipping ....

So yeah, for getting me completely into the electronic scene where previously I almost completely abandoned my interest in music - this is my prized album.

Mbuki Mvuki LP - Plaid (the original 1991 BDP release)

Techno Playtime EP - The Black Dog (the original EP, not the remastered Soma reissue)

Bytes LP - Black Dog Productions

Black Dog Productions EP - The Black Dog

Spanners Casette - The Black Dog

Repeats LP - Repeat

Secret Handshakes LP - Kushti

Bitts's 1, 2, 3 and 4 CDr's - Unknown

to name but a few...

i stopped obsessively collecting records/ CD's years ago.

Ummmm... it's hard to say... a few contenders

* Smashing Pumpkins vinyl collection

* Songs For The Deaf by QOTSA on blue vinyl, don't think this is even on Discogs

* BOC EPs on vinyl

* All the drum and bass, jungle and house and stuff I like to DJ with... just represents many hours of fun messy partying and geekily researching tunes online

here's one of them

fuck you!

Coil/ELpH - Worship the Glitch (2x10", art edition)

Throbbing Gristle - Second Annual Report (LP, signed)

Brian Wilson - Smile (2xLP, signed)

Herbie Hancock - Maiden Voyage (LP, signed)

Nine Inch Nails - The Downward Spiral (promo 2xLP, signed)

I'm a geek for autographed LPs and these ones take the cake....

Anastacia - Pieces of a Dream

Nine Inch Nails - And All That Could Have Been Deluxe Edition (incl. Still) - it is rare, it's mindblowing live recording, it includes a bonus cd with more awesome songs (incl. semi-acoustic versions of older) and its all wrapped in textile-based cover!

Lol. thanks for the image there!

If I owned Program 11 from Bochum Welt, that would probably my most prized record :P

BoC High Scores vinyl

i'm gonna have to dig out my old record boxes from the loft.

there's prolly a load of rare stuff in there i've forgotten all about... (that i could sell to you, oscillik) :)
