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.

rgambs said: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 SoulPink 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 coverAC/DC: Highway to HellLed Zeppelin: IV, Physical Graffiti, CODA, Houses of the HolyBlack Sabbath: Self-Titled, Paranoid, Sabbath Bloody SabbathNeil Young: HarvestElton 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 TheatreUriah 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 10.0 -

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!
