Let's see...I've been collecting vinyl for a little over half a year, and I've definitely stumbled across some tasty gems. I found immaculate pressings of Ultimate Spinach's first two albums in a record store owner's back room - picked them up for ten bucks apiece. I've also got an original Japanese pressing of Rubber Soul (yes, I got a ludicrously good deal on it) and an LP by little-known Wisconsin proggers Sunblind Lion that's worth 30-40 smackaroos. Still, any vinyl is a treasure. Currently listening to a great early pressing of The Soft Parade I picked up yesterday.

I have a copy of Oceansize's Home & Minor, which I read that only 3,000 copies existed, but I'm curious about this because I got it off of Amazon for pretty cheap. Also, Oceansize's Music For Nurses EP and Porcupine Tree's Ilosaarirock live album. That's about as rare as any of my albums get.

Hi,
I have a lot of things, since a lot of my "collection" started in 1967 and 1968 ... and up until the past couple of years, I had the original LP's from Chicago, Creedence, Santana, Jefferson Airplane and a couple of other things ... but since then I have replaced most of these with CD's .. I still have Quicksilver, Iron Butterfly and other things to replace.
Oddities and then some .... Ram, Touch, Peter Kaukonen, Scarlett Rivera, Tonto's ..., Robert Mason, Marc Almond (would like to find those CD's ... !!!), Coven, and at one time had some Stoneground and some of the other lesser known bands from LA and SF that were around ... many of which were fairly good in their own way ... but the saddest part of the SF/LA scene is that it was stuck on "hits" and "songs", and too many of these other bands lost the ability to create something special like things had been at the beginning.
My collection also had a lot of really early harvest stuff, so you can get the LP's for Third Ear Band, Battered Ornaments, Kevin Ayers ... and several other things. I did not get the LP's for the second wave of Harvest stuff except Kayak. Triumvirat I didn't get at the time, as I was limited on funds, and they went for TD, KS and the more important stuff I was getting then. Toyah (Lady and the Tiger). I have no idea what is rare or not ...
For the most part, if I had a number, I would probably tell you that my collection averages 1974 or 1975 or 1976 for the 1500 LP's left. And the best represented of all? ... the German stuff ... I still have Mythos, Message, Tarot (Walter Wegmuller) and a bunch of KS albums ... I did finally let go of the Kosmic Courier stuff once I got the CD's ... again, the music in it is what matters to me, and the packaging is not an issue.
(check this one out, Dean ... !!!)
One of these days I will list these things, as there are way too many of them that records are not found ... and one of the best was Richard Schroeder's first album ... that could be played on 45 and 33RPM ... and it was better in the slower mode as it was that heavy duty Germanic thing and it was far out and moody and then some ... there is no way in hell I will ever let go of that album ... because the flipping CD is not giving you both versions!
I do miss the "art" in the covers and it was way more visible then than it is today on CD's ... how appropriate that the age of advertising has "diminished" the visibility of "art" altogether, and we allow it! Edited by moshkito - February 21 2011 at 16:14 |

I guess it's probably not rare, but I found a vinyl copy of PFM's 'Photos Of Ghosts' for two dollars a week ago.

Absolutely love this album ... and it is so progressive (as was a lot of their duo work) that I'm not sure many of us can handle it ... and even this in its entirety is tough to take ... but side 1 and 2 are absolutely massive, and Peter Cook becomes an acquired taste ... but nice!

The rarest CD I own is probably Tartar Lamb's Sixty Metonymies. I will also be one of the proud owners of Polyimage of Known Exits' very limited vinyl version (with autographs).

The rarest [music] record I own [excluding one of a kind acetates] is the Gospelfolk Prodigal LP below [second row, second in from right];
![]() 99 copies pressed in 1969, it's more psych then prog, though it has proggy moments.

On vinyl I have Rick Wakeman's The Myths And Legends Of King Arthur And The Knights Of The Round Table1975 album with original booklet, it has amazing artwork and all lyrics and is in mint condition.
I have other vinyl from the 70s mint condition, never or hardly ever played, which is hard to get hold of these days, including Genesis, Asia (debut), Jean Michel Jarre, ELP (debut), and others I cant think of at present.
My most rare vinyl albums are not prog but extremely rare
Toyah! Toyah! Toyah by Toyah (white vinyl edition)
Little Lost Girls by The Runaways (picture disc)
Red vinyl and Blue vinyl editions of Gary Numan's early EPs.
Rare because they were not very popular but had limited colour vinyls for collectors.
