I don't really have one, but my friend has an original Love Buzz 7" by Nirvana, and it's signed. He reckons it's worth a few hundred quid. I reckon i could get it out of his house without him noticing.

I have a few rare ones

but possibly my BEST was a birthday present from a charity shop - 'teddy bears picnic' on coloured vinyl SHAPED like a teddy bear. beat that!


well..

i have the split nirvana/jesus lizard 7" australian picture disc.
i look at it regularly as it's so damn beautiful.
not as valuable as a signed love buzz though i wouldnt have thought!


Umm

I've got Nirvana Lithium on 12" picture disc but my favourite's are probably my Bis 7" collection. Reminds me of good times. I also like my unopened original copy of Nick Drake, Bryter Layter.

I have Motorcycle Emptiness on 12" picture disc if anyone would like to buy it.


its got to be

my signed copy of my old mans a dustman by lonny donnigan,l still in its original wrapper


hefner - a better friend 7"

super furries - moog droog and llanflair... eps 7"

lowgold - beauty dies young 7" (first release, signed with witty instore banter. worth nowt i'd imagine, but has sentimental value.)

razorlight - rock and roll lies (will this ever make me any money? i doubt it.)


Probably

'eat my dump' by the thrown ups, featuring Steve Turner, and Mark Arm on drums.

1 of 600. On Amrep, natch.


who signed the love buzz single?

kurt, krist and chad? if so, that's gotta be pretty rare...


Desert Sessions

Volume 1


Shmap'n Shmazz!


Sliver

Nirvana bogey green 7"
Brian Jones Presents Pan Pipes Of Jajouka LP
Signed copy of Spacemen 3's Music To Take Drugs To LP


The Mars Volta - The Widow 12" picture disc

it's not worth that much, but it's relatively limited in number and looks beautiful


That Billy Corgan/Starchildren

Delusions of Candour was pretty hard to get hold of at the time. I only have the boring black vinyl though. Is that rare? The B-Side is better anyway.


felt

index 7in


the edmund fitzgerald/bilge pump

split on blue 12 inch

not sure if it's worth anything but i've only ever seen it once..and i bloody well bought it didn't i


erm

the sonic youth/mudhoney split

where
sonic youth play touch me i'm sick

My brother's got that.

The mudhoney version of halloween is better than the original.


DAMN STARIGHT

it's also available on reissues of superfuzz bigmuff


Got this

bizzarely on a 12" with no extra tracks


A copy of Dope, Guns

and F***ing in the Street Vol 1 7" on black vinyl that features Mudhoney and the Thrown Ups which I bought off of Steve Turner from Mudhoney on Ebay.
That and a song of Cornish Fishermans songs on the Sentinel record label from 1972.


Oh god,

I want vol 1 so, so much.

I HATE YOU.


Drone Dream ep

by Sonic Boom.

Marbled clear blue vinyl and plays at any speed. Hours, or seconds, of "fun".

Theres

pedant alert

i went in there on monday, i'm sure it was a copy of 'ecstasy and wine'... unless they had both on sunday!


only the one really

Manics - You Love Us 12" on Heavenly
but i love it :)


Rarest

Probably Doves Cedar Room and/or Sea EP or Blur Popscene 12"/She's So High 7"/There's No Other Way 7"

No idea which out of that lot though.


Doves-Cedar Room

Is that the original 10" on their own label, Casino? I have that too. I reckon Popscene is probably worth more though..


Holland 1945 7"

Or my MBV stuffs.


hmmm

i like my Beatles - Revolver vinyl (their only good album IMO)

most-treasured vinyl would be Superwolf - I Gave You 7" (mainly cuz its probably the best song ever written)


i have nirvana dive on 7" though it's not worth anything

my fave is the 10" of powder blue by elbow, it's beautiful

dunno

got a few old keef hartley band records in decent condition! and old mate of mine used to have an original sgt pepper with all the 3d glasses and shit that might be worth a few bob ....

^bloody hell

but the foratting on that is horrible


I have an early Guided By Voices

album at my parents in a homemade sleeve. Not sure which album it is but i heard Propeller is the one to own. Will check it out soon and report back. Also have the first Pavement single and all other pre Slanted & Enchanted releases. And Lovr Buzz on Sub Pop


the only possibly valuable ones

Pulp - This is Hardcore (double LP with some b-sides)

Elbow - Forget Myself (7" with misprint of a song by Madness on it instead)


Ive got

Bohemian Rhapsody on blue vinyl promo.Dunno if its worth anything though


Backstreet Boys

'Quit Playing Games With My Heart' 7" picture disc... It hangs on my wall quite proudly.

I'm also rather protective of my heart shaped Yeah Yeah Yeahs 'Cheated Hearts' vinyl and my signed American Nightmare '4 Song Demo' 7" vinyl.

But over anything, my most treasure vinyl is my 7" Mew 'Apocalypso' Evil Office release!


Electric Circus

10' vinyl with Joy Division (then Warsaw)

lots of Damned singles

Pavement's first three singles (signed)
