record has a silly warp but plays, had it since I was a kid, got doyle to sign it not too long ago. Usually bust it out during the halloween season. I had a metallic sharpie, but he used his and I love it.
picked this up in nyc as a kid. Read the typed sleeve and wanted to hear it. Sure it was cheap too. Maybe 10 bucks? Wouldn't have the cash if it was more. Test pressing didn't mean anything to me.
got this 'well loved' happy record from salvation army. I feel this should be in a museum. There are all love notes written all over it and scratched out. I interpret it as a fan who maybe got a broken heart when he died. Glad I have it for now and it didn't get tossed in the trash.
No value because they are played to death and we're stored wrong so they have some warp but I have my parents' vinyl collection that has some real gems. Despite the condition they were almost all bought right at release so I assume that means they were first presses. They also have all the original artwork and materials included... Beatles: White Album, Let it Be, Sgt Peppers, Rubber Soul
Pink Floyd: Meddle, Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here---Bonus treat, there are 4 rectangles cut from the DSM inner sleeve, because they were snowed in at the Redfeather Lakes in Colorado and couldn't get out to buy some rolling papers 🤣
Lynyrd Skynyrd: Street Survivors with the original album cover
AC/DC: Highway to Hell
Led Zeppelin: IV, Physical Graffiti, CODA, Houses of the Holy
Black Sabbath: Self-Titled, Paranoid, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath
Neil Young: Harvest
Elton John: Goodbye Yellow Brick Road
Some honorable mentions that I remember getting a ton of spins and that show the depth of the collection...Styx: Pieces of Eight, Paradise Theatre
Uriah Heep is in there, Yes, a few Doobie Bros albums, Deep Purple S-T, Graham Nash: Songs for Beginners, John Mayall's Blues breakers, Aerosmith: Toys in the Attic and S-T, a couple Kansas records that I really loved, Paul McCartney: Ram, Journey and Boston debuts, Meatloaf: Bat out of Hell and Back into Hell...fuck I really loved those two. Paraphrasing from childhood memory "Wait a minute, boy, stop it. What do you think you're doing? And I said God Damn It Daddy, you know I love you, but you've got a hell of a lot to learn about rock and roll!" 🤣🤣. Gotta get that in my ears now. Zeppelin IV and the White Album were the two most frequent spins, Elton John, Styx Paradise Theatre and Meatloaf were my personal favorites as a child under the age of 10.
Priceless stuff with great stories attached...thanks for sharing them.
One of my grails arrived yesterday. 35 years after my first opportunity to buy one and 25 years after buying one out of Goldmine that got lost in the mail along with two others that can never be replaced. Sex Pistols- Bad Boys, Live in Sweden. 1978 Swedish pressed bootleg with Beatles inspired deluxe cover. 1000 pressed. Cover is VG but the record is EX. Looks like it was played once with only one visible spindle mark on side A. $80 bucks and I'm thrilled to finally add one to my collection!

I still have mine too. 50,000 advanced copies before the CD came out.
If you bought that on the tour and the matrix numbers are right then that is something. I have never seen or heard of a single LP version being authentic. So seeing this is interesting.
Pretty cool piece of history right there. I bought the repress from 2011 and that wasn't cheap for $100.

Yup. Matrix numbers match. I think I paid $20 at the show. It’s definitely my prized possession as far as vinyl goes. Alternate cover for this version too.

Where is the UFO pic? I have to go look at my copy again, lol. There are sooo many boot versions of this.
So cool to get this. Ialmost bought their RSD version of Like Clock work at the show but figured why bother since I have a copy already? I wonder if it was some crazy variant too?

I don’t know anything about the RSD Like Clockwork version. I just have the original.
Beach Boys Endless Summer was the first non-children’s album I owned (was a gift) and MJ’s Thriller was the first album I bought with my own money so those are both very close to my heart and have received regular play over the years.
As an adult, I stumbled across a Led Zeppelin bootleg, For Badgeholders Only (part 2) in a used vinyl shop in the early zeros, bought it for $30 or $40 (Canadian, lol). While I eventually tracked down a download of the full concert the vinyl gets more regular play, lol.

I knew a person that would buy any Led Zep boot he could find. He had shows that were never released, albums with the full banter of the band.
He would tell me stories about the records. One of them included Robert Plant asking the crowd "is there anyone NOT on ludes tonight?"
