What's The Most Valuable Record In Your Collection?

[SherlockOhms]

Just had a 7" from Lack of Afro go from about £10 for £100 in a couple of weeks. No clue why, but it's a helluva track

Not much has changed since the last time I posted back in May....

My Jerry RSD purchase seems to be paying off quite a bit. Also, the Cherry Tree membership too. Surprised my Dylan Mono box isn't up there, but upon examination it looks like the particular variant that I received has been sold for very low values - the highest is $30

Reading the descriptions of those Dylan sales makes it seem like someone just sold a bunch of individual LPs from the box...

Yeah that's what I thought too. I hate when people do that or sell only an additional item (a bonus 7" or insert) on the main item, which makes the value plummet.

Or someone sells a one-off autographed copy and all the other vultures think they can raise their prices on the regular copies...

 

[djdavedk]

I don't know if any have moved up or down.
My Pearl Jam is autographed, and School's Out has the paper panties.
Surprised to see the BHS promo tape showing up!

Is that the GITD bloom?

It is, indeed.

That one is cut at 45rpm!

My 13th Floor Elevators record doesn't have a cover, so it's certainly not as valuable as what the discogs prices would suggest. The Velvet Underground album no longer has the banana sticker.

My most valuable record to me is my signed copy of Scott Walker's Scott.

 

[parnell17]

I usually leave the records that sell for >100$ on Discogs unopened, which is weird since I don't worry too much about the value (it's Vinyl after all) and just want to enjoy the music. But who knows - maybe one day I'll be happy to own Mint-Copies of certain records.

Today I received "All Mirrors" by Angel Olsen on Aquamarine Vinyl and realised that the Scalpers on Discogs sell that one for 140$. A little ridiculous, but maybe that price eventually drop. Anyway, gonna leave this one as it is for now and if my desire to listen to it on Vinyl grows and grows, I'll buy the Crystal Clear or Standard Black Version.

The Blond vinyl is starting to sell for an avg of $400+ on both ebay and discogs

Don't do it.............

I'm not that knowledgeable on Frank Ocean, so forgive me if this is a stupid question, but is there any reason in particular this album (and Channel Orange, I guess) couldn't be repressed? Given that Blond is one of the most acclaimed albums of the 2010s, and demand for it on vinyl is clearly very high, it seems ridiculous to me that it wouldn't receive another pressing somewhere down the line

 

[gaporter]

I think Frank leaving Def Jam has something to do with it. Not sure how much of Channel Orange he owns, but I think both him and Def Jam would need to combine forces for a vinyl pressing, and neither of them like eachother.
Frank has said that he's working on it, but he cant be trusted

That makes sense. Label troubles and ownership over material seem to be the leading causes of an album never getting repressed

I just don't think it's a priority at all. There's not a ton of profit in pressing and selling records, and he basically handled it himself.
And given how he is with things like writing chipotle $200k checks because he refused to adjust his artistic vision- he's just the kinda artist that's seems to be more interested in working on his craft than trying to move product.

I almost bought a bootleg Channel Orange at a store a couple of weeks ago. I ended up passing even though I love that album ($35 for a CD rip is a bit much).

For some reason I have never been able to make it through Blond the whole way through.

 

[Selaws]

Im in the position where I spin the bootleg of Channel Orange LOADS. Its one that my girlfriend really likes as well so its a win win. I will of course buy the official pressing if/when its released.

I also have a sealed copy of Blond which I bought on the Black Friday event. I bought it with the aim to play and listen but I dont think anyone anticipated it to go up in value so much. Its really not worth me opening at this point, so im sitting on it until I need the cash and will sell up.

I actually bought 2 copies of the Endless album when it came out, one for me and one for a mate. As it happens he actually did the same, one for himself and one for me
