September 2020 Challenge Thread- The Gav-La’s

Day 30: “and it looks like we’ve made it to the end ...” RIP..play something by those sadly no longer with us...or dead if you like

Kanye West - My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy

Pretty crazy how Kanye dropped this album, it was declared an instant classic, and then he disappeared from public life and music forever, never to sully his reputation in any way, shape, or form.

Shoutout to @Gavaxeman for hosting this month’s challenge! You did a great job and I’ll see y’all in the October thread!
I was thinkling this would have been a great record to spin for the "Devolution" Theme. Just Marvin an 808 and what I would suspect was a giant pile of cocaine.

Day 22: Collector's corner

Coheed and Cambria - The Second Stage Turbine Blade

This is probably my rarest/most collectable album not by a local artist at 1000 copies. Certainly the after-market value for it would make me think that. I also have the cooler, slightly less limited green version which came with the hidden track and a b-side on a 7", a signed tour poster and a tour laminate. I should probably sell one of them but the green one is framed and this is my playing copy for one of my favourite albums from high school and probably one of the most important of my life.

Don’t you go forgetting about me when it’s time to sell. ;) There is an unofficial that just dropped that I’m taking my chances on.

Ultimate Gav-la criteria was pretty simple ...if your pick was in my collection on any format ..and sneaky looks at my discogs wouldn’t have helped as 90% of my CDs aren’t catalogued yet ...you got a Gav-la point ....
