    it depends on the record. but in my experience first pressings are always the more sought after copies. i know matador (which TOTBL came out on) reissued the album on 180 gram vinyl simply because people were paying outrageous amounts for the original (which i thought was an awesome thing to do *cough* pearl jam reissues *cough*). they did the same for their second album Antics as well.

    i know it depends on the record - just seemed strange that it would matter for a modern record - its usually 70s or older, and normally some kind of textured sleeve, insert, or different coloured label to go with it, that makes a first pressing valuable.

    i would guess people payed a lot for totbl only because it was out of print for a short time, and that now it wouldn't make much difference. matador LPs tend to stay in print... tho i'm kicking myself for not getting a copy of the last yo la tengo album.

    i think interpol's first record - a 12" EP - was released by a glasgow label and goes for a lot.

    as for pj LPs, its strange... they got reissued around 2002 when i started buying vinyl, and i hadn't realised they were so valuable again... esp vitalogy... i knew binaural and lo2l were already going for $60 by 2003. ten was pretty much always in print.

    The record I'd near kill to possess would be Lee 'Scratch' Perry's Disco Devil 12" original pressing. Not gonna happen though.

    What an album. The Master's Call is amazing.
    yeah, El Paso too(d'ye get girls called Feleena in Mexico?). My favourite song of his is Don't Worry, which I've read is the first time a fuzztone guitar sound appeared, his vocals astonish!

    Yeah, his vocals are incredible. Soul in abundance.

    my dad has a few that we've looked up information for, but can't find much

    One is an early pressing of the Rolling Stones self-titled album imported from the UK (complete with glossy photo of the band, signed by Keith Richards (signed Keith Richard)).

    There's also an early imported Hendrix, an early Cream album and a bootleg album of Neil Young and the Squires
    Hello, I love you. Won't you tell me your name?

    I still have all my old vinyl, nothing too rare, but the most interesting is probably the first three Metallica records on the original European label, Music For Nations. They were all re-released in 1987 when they signed to their first major, Vertigo.
    And I have most of their early singles/ep's on vinyl.

    I also have a nice etched 12" of Jesus Christ Pose by Soundgarden

    not too rare but an orange vinyl superunknown.
    Beavis: All my friends are brown and red? What does that mean?
    Butthead: It means that his friends are like turds and that they like suck.
    Beavis: Heh heh. Oh yeah. Yeah! Get those spoons out of my face before I shove them up your butt!
    Butthead: Huh huh.

    Original Soundgarden "Screaming Life" on orange vinyl. Only 600 pressed I believe.

    Soundgarden "Louder Than Love" on green vinyl. This is super-rare, with only 250 copies.

    I also have a yellow "Ultramega Ok". Never been able to find any info on it, but every other one I've seen is black.

    In terms of PJ I have the Into the Wild vinyl (2 copies, actually) and the Last Kiss vinyl (numbered to 2800, I think).

    I don't know much about scarcity, but I have a few R.E.M. records that might be rare:

    R.E.M. as Bingohandjob (it's a promo full show from London in 1991)

    IX (a promo compilation of remixes of Reveal songs)

    Ages of You promo single

    If anyone knows anything about any of those 3 I would appreciate any info. :)

    I have an ep/live of Iron Maiden and Eddie has killed Thatcher on the cover. This is before they blacked out her eyes so you didn't or couldn't tell it was her.

    Other than that I have the usual stuff to spin on the turntable.
