Very Good Plus - Vital Vinyl (Collector's Edition) by 
Jimmy Dread 
I'm currently in my second phase of buying vinyl, having acquired a fair bit at the start of the 21st Century and only starting again at the start of 2015 when my wife bought me a shiny new turntable. I wonder if she realised what would happen as a result...
Amazingly some of the LPs I've acquired during my last vinyl buying phase and over the last couple of years (either from second hand record shops on the cheap or car boot sales) are now worth a packet. Here's a list of the records I have in my collection which according to Discogs are worth the most. Pour scorn over my taste if you must, or make me an offer (although can't see me selling any of these in a hurry). Just get out your anti-static record cleaner, record brush and micro-fibre cloth and go bananas! All original presses here unless stated/good reason or story behind them - take you coloured 180g represses taken from a CD source and put them on your Crosley Cruiser record player like I imagine some here do. Jimmy, September 2019.

Record Fair. Original Decca press of (along with Court Of The Crimson King) my favourite prog LP. I first saw this for sale for £200 in the rather charming Land Of Grey and Pink Records in Chester, but obviously passed due to the price. A little while later I picked up a repress in South East London which I was more than happy with. That was until I saw another original press at a record fair in my traditional record buying stamping ground of Guildford. For a tenner.

Yahoo.co.jp Auction. Something of a coup. After falling in love with this record trying to find it for a decent price proved a real pain, until one day I spied it on a Japanese auction site for a reasonable price. Luckily a good friend of mine has a Japanese wife and family in Nagasaki, so I asked her to put a bid on. The expected bidding war never materialised, I got it for about 1/8 of the price Discogs hawkers are selling it for, and had to have my photo taken opening said parcel when it finally arrived to send back to Japan to show my (obvious) delight.

EBay. You'll notice as you navigate your way down the list there's a bucketload of reggae in my collection, and a fair bit of it commands a decent price. None more so that this stonking Studio One LP from Skatalites member and keyboard king Jackie Mittoo - an album I'd been after for ages especially as I couldn't find it anywhere to stream on-line. Cheapest price of this on Discogs at time of writing is £230+.

EBay. I first heard Shelagh McDonald via a fantastic psych-folk compy called Gather In The Mushrooms. I'd tried for years to track down this LP, from which the compy track (Liz's Song) is culled from, however it's as rare as the hills. So imagine my delight when I found it on eBay, won with a last second bid (I think I outbid someone by 50p) and was finally united with a record which - alongside albums by Sidan and Sister Nancy - was probably the one piece of wax I was the most ecstatic to obtain.

Private sale (well, Discogs really, but negotiated a better price as the guy selling it lived locally). Now officially the most I've ever spent on a record (£65), but worth every penny. Numbered original with insert, records immaculate, and better still bought from a soul nut in Bracknell who saw the Dollys supporting the Undertones in Guildford back in the day, and promptly bought the record as a direct result. The best records always have stories.

Record Shop (Liquorice, White Waltham). My job takes me all round the country, but oddly enough the most valuable record I've found 'in the wild' was at one of my local haunts, located on an industrial estate in the middle of nowhere at the back of a bric-a-brac shop. I spied this out of the corner of my eye due to the red, gold and green edging on the cover. "Ahhh, Caribbean vibes" methinks, so I ask owner to stick it on. "I can't find it on eBay anywhere, you can have it for a fiver" he says. Hmm, it sounds like a calypso cross between Linton Kwesi Johnson and Fela Kuti. Sure, why not. Get back to car, check price on Discogs. WTF? Sold for £500+ on eBay. Best random purchase ever.

Very cool find with the Skatalites. Quite a few other gems I'd love to have. Fantastic concept. Might just do my own.

Great chart idea. I'd love to own any of these. Oddly enough I don't. That's also my least favorite Spiritualized record. Love that you have Belly's Star. That album seems to be one loved by folks who were around when it came out, but the kids don't know how good it is.
