The most valuable thing I had was some rare Fall Out Boy album. It was their first major release that I'd picked up for like $10 at a Virgin Records in Las Vegas when my now-wife and I went about a decade ago. I don't even like FOB, but they were having a sale so I grabbed a bunch of stuff.

A friend was looking through my stuff one day and told me I should look it up because he knew there was some rare FOB out there. Turns out it was a limited edition of only 1,000 exclusive to Virgin Record stores. I'd never even listened to it since I don't like them. So, sold it for $150 on eBay. It went pretty quick too, so probably could have gotten more out of it. I was happy with turning one album I don't like into a bunch that I do, though.

 

[BeeDog]

Awww yeah, finally received my Four Tet - Pink vinyl and some other assorted stuff:

Have been craving to have the Pink tunes on vinyl for a long, long, long time. Plus points to whoever can identify the other vinyls to the left and right. (hint for the right one: repress of two insanely popular 2003 tunes from the minimal techno scene)

 

[MezzoForte]

So does anyone have some really valuable shit?

test pressing of Order from Chaos - Plateau of Invincibility.

[wenis]

these are my top five in my collection. I've got other rare items though.

 

[Steamlord]

Nothing too impressive. The Spiderland box set is meaty enough to justify those prices (except the max).

Now what should be worth more is this baby with its beautiful (but fragile) packaging:

 

[MezzoForte]

[heavy breathing]

really? Sick lol.

 

[8bit]

After a bit of discogging, it seems my most valuable item is the Amon Tobin boxset from a few years ago, there's one listed at 500 euros. After that it's the aforementioned Massive Attack / Burial - Inhale Gold at 300 then X-TG - Desertshore at about 200.

 

[big ander]

only nominally valuable thing I have is WU LYF record, of which I have both the US pressing (one I listen to) and a sealed UK pressing with a lyrics sheet not included in the US.

 

[CRS]

Holy shit at the rise of Demon Days.

What. The. Fuck.

Last time I checked, it was only 100. I don't have my Discogs updated but it does have most of my collection.

So I guess Captain Murphy's isn't my most expensive. The price on it went down drastically. Was there a re-release?

 

[Veritigo_X]

I started adding my records to Discogs so I can keep track of them and the biggest surprise of the night has to be Passion Pit - Manners. I was expecting it to be another $20 record like the other stuff I was buying around that time, but it's averaging at $140! Never saw that coming.

 

[Jason]

^^ whoa, gimme that FKA Twigs EP plzzz.

My top 10.

 

[TheCowboyPoet]

My top 10 (prices in Canadiano):

I had no idea Live at Massey Hall was so expensive now, I only picked it up (new) a year ago.
Apparently my entire collection is worth 10G max. I'm rich!!!

 

[Johnlenham]

hmm well got to say I regret not coping those early FKA twigs eps before she blew up lol

Most expensive thing I sold was a £140 The XX 7", one that I still own is like
Burial + Four Tet - Moth / Wolf Cub which goes for like £45.

 

[The Interrobanger]

.

 

[Veritigo_X]

I hate all of you that have Demon Days It's the only Gorillaz album I'm missing.

 

[CRS]

Do you have the Spacemonkeyz album?

 

[Veritigo_X]

Do you have the Spacemonkeyz album?

lol I didn't count that. Just their normal albums. I don't have their singles compilation either.

 

[C4Lukins]

I usually sell my valuable LPs when I realize they're worth some money, hah. Mostly odd/obscure Japanese groups or assorted stuff in the $200-300 range.

Super envious of your New Adventures in Hi-Fi, though. I'd love for that to be reprinted.

Yeah that is my pride and joy. One of my top 5 favorite albums ever.

 

[XANDER CAGE]

Where in the Discogs collection do I sort by price? I'm curious what mine are now.

Click the Bar Chart icon (Text With Statistics) on the top right hand corner of your collection page.

 

[Mr. Doop]

Don't really feel like checking discogs right now, but if I had to guess, my most valuable album would probably be an original pressing of In the Court of the Crimson King.

 

[XANDER CAGE]

Right, here's mine (I included 11, since one is a CD set)

That is a great album.

 

[omgkitty]

Jodorowsky's Dune is up for pre-order on Light in the Attic.

If you haven't seen it, the documentary is great, as is the soundtrack.

After taking some advice on a previous thread that I made, I decided to get into vinyl collecting. I have this player on the way.

Along with some records. Whenever, I receive them...I'll post some pics. I'm so excited getting into vinyl since it's been a long time coming.

It's a fun (but expensive) hobby! Welcome aboard.

 

[C4Lukins]

I have a ton of vinyls worth a ton of money. But I hate that there is dozens of albums I want to buy right now. I just want NIN the Fragile, and Tool Aenima.
I have all sortsoff rare shit but why are those unavailable.

I have bought 4 NIN albums, and 3 Tool albums. But really I just want the Fragile and Aenima, and those are the only two I cannot purchase.

 

[RP912]

It finally came along with some records . Sorry for the crappy quality.

 

[Cosmic Bus]

I don't listen to game soundtracks, but if I did, I'd be paying a lot of attention to Data Discs right now.

Their Shenmue and Streets of Rage LPs started making it out to buyers recently.

your loss

 

[Cosmic Bus]

^ I haven't had a game system in years, so it wouldn't make much sense... but the game music I remember isn't really the sort of thing I would want to sit down and listen to exclusively.

CFCF - Radiance & Submission + The Colours of Life cassette
North Americans - Legends cassette (came free with the CFCF stuff)
Elton John - Victim of Love

 

[RP912]

Went to the flea market and came back with haul.

 

[nitewulf]

Actually Streets of Rage 2 did have a damn good soundtrack...

 

[RP912]

I actually prefer the first one to be honest. Streets of Rage 2 soundtrack is good, but 1 was amazing.

 

[wenis]

Actually Streets of Rage 2 did have a damn good soundtrack...

Agreed. Way more excited about that release than I was for one. Although I may still pick up one anyways cuz it's still a really good mix of music.

 

[sixteen-bit]

so like, what's the market for this?

 

[CRS]

Does it summon Lucifer if you spin it the other way?

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

Well, I want one now just to play it on a real turntable. Kept hoping he'd do it at the end, and he didn't.

I would check some collector forums for The Fragile. I got a great deal on a amazing copy of The Fragile a few years back, only for $120.

 

[RP912]

It's already summoning demons when you spin it forward...

This is awesome! Might actually try giving it to a friend of mine. She'll get a nice laugh out of it!

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

Got some good birthday loot:

Also have Ozzy's Blizzard of Ozz on the way. Father bought it for me, but they seller on Amazon sent him the picture disc version instead, so he sent it back to get the normal black disc version.

How do you actually order, I don't see any links at the site, the Shinobi 3 soundtrack seems to be available...

I'm assuming these are all unauthorized bootlegs though...they seem to be recording directly from Genesis units.

Here's their store page. Shinobi goes on sale on Friday. You can also order through Mondos site, I think some people said it's cheaper if you're in the US.

They are 100% licensed and legit. I have the first two (Shenmue and Streets of Rage) and they are fantastic all around from sound quality to packaging.

From their site:

We carefully remaster game soundtracks and present them as officially licensed, high quality packages. Our intention is to promote the work of game composers, which is all too often overlooked, and introduce people to an area of music that, despite being culturally significant in many ways, has seldom been available on any format, let alone on vinyl. We aim to release soundtracks that work as standalone pieces; albums that can be enjoyed by casual listeners as well as game fans, and showcase the creativity and ingenuity of the people behind them. We are based in London, England.
