a tape made for me by falkous from mclusky, had accoustic versions of songs on it, including "the difference between..." and this was like... 2002?

i left it in thesoundofbastards mums car, never seen it again...

Desert Sessions Vol. 1

Five Minutes With vinyl- Arctic Monkeys
Tunnels vinyl - Arcade Fire

are probably the most prized.

is long gone now, for £500 cash.

According to Record Collector the most desirable item is Stereolab's No Doubt 10"

fucked on the hairy amp drooling

the Foals debut vinyl and a copy of what a waster by the libs buit sold them all on ebay. Dollar talks my collection walks

and if anyone cared about them anymore i'd be impressed that i had a 1 of 5,000 Slipknot S/T picture discs (with original tracklisting before they were forced to change it for legal reasons) fully signed.

I should have sold that bad boy when Iowa came out and made myself some cash.

from when they were briefly called Sonic States of America. And I have at least some of Meanwhile, back in Communist Russia...'s master tapes. Neither of those are particularly impressive.

I've never seen so many threads started by him!

I don't think I have any collectibles :(

That's pretty much it.

a signed copy of pablo honey from it's day of release when they did an in-store signing at our price! they had played at the venue (now academy) the saturday before. ah memories.

well, signed by all except for colin the lazy fuck. he never turned up, pretty much like he never turned up to dj in crazy horse at atp!

angel range and union demos!

I also have a signed promo copy of PWEI's Dos Dedos Mis Amigos and a copy of Bleed American signed by Jim Adkins

I think they may be declining in value now though. And they don't have much sentimental value anymore.

from the Maximo Park 'Coast Is Always Changing' single launch which is like a weird Jackson Pollock thing their artist mate did with their old logo in roller print, done on brown parcel paper, with the date and venue of the gig written on it and signed by the band. They said they were 'selling it to the highest bidder' so I stole it off the wall and ran off.

There's only two of them and my mate has the other.

I was well pleased with some of my japanese/promo/etc discs when i was 16/17, but for some reason I kinda stopped caring.

I think I'd be more inclined to find rare records that had good b-sides or live songs, or something that made them different to other versions of albums/singles other than just being green/different font/whatever.

An exception to that would be early EPs of bands and stuff if I'd got it when it first came out, but I'd have little interest in paying big bucks retrospectively.

Mono misprint of Hard Day's night.

Signed QOTSA gear.

Queen Of The Troubled Teens 7", back when Idlewild were still my favourite band.

The Mighty Mighty Bosstones album 'Awfully Quiet' signed by the entire band.

Oh yeah, and collectible would be my signed Hot Snakes poster <3.

of the 22-20s debut single. It's probably worth about 50p.

Doesn't Lyle have the Coldplay Safety EP?

Fully signed Cooper Temple Clause Hardware/Warfare EP where Didz has basically drawn all over it

Plus all of their earliest stuff on vinyl, minus the Crayon Demos.

3) Delusions of Candour by the Starchildren - white vinyl 7" of a Smashing Pumpkins side project, limited to 1000 copies, but I think the white vinyl was limited to a run of 200.

2) You Made Me Realise by My Bloody Valentine - hunted years and years for the original 7" release of one of the best singles ever made - limited to 1000 copies.

1) Forever Since Breakfast by Guided By Voices - sealed 12" of their debut EP release - signed by Robert Pollard's own fair hand. Like a total twunt I managed to put a massive scratch on it playing it whilst blind drunk. It's probably worthless now but I'd never sell it anyway.

thurston moore root album (in a hoover bag!) hehe i love that cd, or maybe my signed 1st foo fighters album. also i have number 0004 of muse origin of symatry ltd edition cd.
i think the top prize of mine has to be my mogwai demo tape, its like a crappy home made job done ona computer with contact numbers on it and stuff.

my los campesinos hold on now youngster demo.

collection wise, i used to have every Muse CD single from Uno to Time Is Running Out, but I'm in the process of selling them on eBay.

ltd edition wise, i have a Chris T-T CDR that was ltd to ~15 copies, with some demos from 1994-1996 on it. mostly unreleased songs. apparently they were mostly given out to friends, i won it on a mailing list competition.

The message original 12". Also Led Zepplin 3 (The one with the spinning picture disc on the front)

Neanderthal - Fighting Music 7"
Deadline - demo lp

both worth a whole bunch if you know what's up.

Of Rory Gallagher’s LIVE IN EUROPE (1972) given to us by the man himself. This is something I will never sell, although it’s not mine to sell anyway it’s my mums, I have kind of taken ownership of it.

a copy of brmc's demo cd - which i should have really sold a few years back when they were going for £400.

She's So High 7"/There's No Other Way 12" and CD/Popscene 12" and CD. Few of the rarer Doves singles on vinyl too, although can't remember which ones offhand.

one of 2000 copies or something. not really worth that much i dont think, but i still like it a lot.

all of mystery jets' properly released singles, but not some of the promo-y stuff, irritatingly

First pressing with a lovely signed photo of Ringo.. found in the back of record shop in Stirling 10 years back and bought for £1.50.. bastard wrote the price on the sleeve in ink though..

Got some Kinks singles, and some early manics 7 inches (you love us, Motorcycle Emptiness, New Art Riot)

Probably worth duck all due to the amount they have been played!

have one of those Coldplay post-production promos, but signed and also a copy of Mince Spies which is the CD that came with the short lived official fanzine.

A beautiful promo for Cast Of Thousands which comes in a DVD sized case with the CD and a DVD of the whole album set filmed shots.

A similar beautiful promo for Night On My Side by Gemma Hayes and the 4:35am EP which I love despite whether it's rare or not.

these are some of the most prized by me;

Led Zeppelin 4 on Lilac vinyl
The Smiths 'William it was Realy Nothing' 12" on red 'splatter' vinyl
The Smiths 'Shoplifters..' on green 'splatter' vinyl
promo clear vinyl copy of In Utero
Tweaker '2am Wake-up Call' CD signed by Chris Vrenna
De-Loused on double silver vinyl
Tool 'Lateralus' double vinyl picture disc
Isis 'In The Absence Of Truth' double red/white vinyl

Blood red etched 12" vinyl drill & bass mash up of Slayer's Angel Of Death/Reigning Blood. Limited to 666 copies.

Aereogramme Glam Cripple EP on 12" signed by the full band.

first pressing, number 7

is the thing that would sell for the highest.
I have a few things that are more limited but that would interest no one...

I have The Walk by The Cure on 7" with it's picture sleeve. I bought it for £2 and it's worth about £30 I think.

I dont have much in the way of indie collectibles but I have a bit of a random selection of Acid House and techno white labels. Not to many though.

by the Locust on 4 X 7", but each 7" is shaped as a jigsaw piece and they all fit together. Not many made, plus it looks really nice.

Never listen to it though.

all under a £100 at least.
