Mine is a record of a Ramones live performance from a 1976 radio show. After years of looking on ebay and other sites, I have only come across one other copy.

    Pre-Release of London Calling with the white label, only 250 were pressed.

    Supposedly the record company originally didn't think the Clash would sell a double album so they sent this out to the music industry VIPs a month ahead of the actual release date and it was well received.
    Some say that there are a few single vinyl edited versions of London Calling also but they were supposed to have been destroyed and never distributed.

    I don't have a ton of rare records but my rarest is an original first pressing stereo copy of Bob Dylan Highway 61 Revisited with the mistake version of From A Buick 6 on it.

    I just purchased a double-lp of Tool's Lateralus, AUTOGRAPHED! The album isn't too hard to find, but good luck w/the auto's.

    Back in the day I use to buy rare vinyl bootlegs cause that was the only way to hear something, other than the studio records, that we had

    I have a nice 3 fold out record set of Peter joining his old band Genesis for a one off show at Milton Keys...I think the year was 1982...being a bootleg 3record set its prolly one of the rarest I have...though the show can be acquired on cdr these days but I'm still sure it is worth at least the crazy amount I paid for it back then...which was probably $70

    i started o buy vinyls only one or two year(s) ago. Apart from PJ, I haven't much yet. I'd say the rarest I have are the PJ rare (benaroya, LO2L, yield, binaural) and the beastie boys's best of (sound of science - 4LPs box)

    I like! How are the songs divided? I've always been curious about the vinyl tracklisting/sides.

    HOW rare? I don't know...are there websites who rank the state of rarity, I mean how many did get pressed and how many are supposed to be available...?

    ...does anyone have a record from the first pressing of "We're only in it for the money?" from The Mothers of Invention?

    I have the first Beatles album. I saw it in a shop last month for around 130 dollars. I also have Sgt Peppers with the paper dolls uncut.
    Some old Johnny Cash that I love.

    i've only just started collecting so my rarest isn't that rare at all.
    rarest is probably the basketball version of ten

    or jesu sunrise/sundown - think only a few hundred were pressed... anyone with exact details is welcome to correct me!

    that's about it really....
