Raime

I used to see posts on Facebook groups I was a part of where we'd pull out either our most cherished, expensive, or rarest release, and I thought "Hey, I don't actually know what people here have". I don't usually spend too much on releases (only spent over 100 dollars once, and that was for internet documentation purposes).

Most cherished: Flying Saucer Attack - s/t (first pressing, self released)

I've been a big FSA fan for over a decade, and to have this hand numbered release, and with photocopied booklet just gives me warm and fuzzy feelings. It's not one of first hundred, but it's just really cool to see how much love was put into making this release come to life. I only spent around 30 dollars on this too, which makes it extra special for getting it so cheap.

Most Expensive: Home - "Odyssey" (First Pressing)

I paid 15 dollars or something like that for this because "ha, meme song not bad" when I first saw it go up on bandcamp. Checked my collection one day and noticed people were paying $350 for a meme. It'll be good for when I move away and can't take everything with me and need to sell stuff.

Rarest: Waves Crashing Piano Chords "Just Give Me Something to Fuck" (Lathe Cut, Nickelodeon Orange)

I guess I was just lucky, but I have the only "Nickelodeon Orange" version that was cut, and the lathe cut release was only an edition of 8 as it is. Not sure how I came across "Juggalo Power Electronics", but yeah, it's a cute little release. Kind of wonder how much it's worth tho, considering a fair amount of people on discogs want it.

I have some '60s girl garage rock 45s that are pretty rare, from back when I used to hunt for that kinda stuff.

But my most cherished piece of vinyl is this goofy ****ing thing:

I have a copy of Rubber Soul my parents bought in late '65 or sometime early in '66 that's the 2nd or 3rd printing.

I’m looking at the prices of some of my records and even old records that got stolen over the years and finding they’re not as valuable as I thought.

When I look at some of the highest prices paid on Discogs,
I realize that I could buy a brand new car with the number
of albums that I could carry under one arm.

Everything I was proud of that was rare or out of print have all gotten reissues, thanks a lot hipsters.

Depends how big the run is, how good the pressing is, and if it's got special fixin's with it.

I like the idea of a special limited pressing alongside a normal one. It's an investment, and it keeps both normal fans who want to just own it, and the collectors happy. I will say this tho, death to clear vinyl. It looks awful, and generally isn't as good fidelity wise. I've only ever owned one clear pressing that sounds legitimately great.

My most valuable release is my CD copy of Mason Ramsey's first EP because I got it when I saw him for my first time earlier this year.

God bless you and him always!!!

Holly

P.S. I've never seen it available in any other way other than an online download.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder! My most priceless is not because it is worth the most money. It is a promo copy of Mott The Hoople's first album.
