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.

Discogs. Having owned an original Spirit Of Eden for many years (I picked it up in a charity shop in the early 00s for a quid, although never listened to it until about 2015), I'd been after a copy of Laughing Stock to complement it for some time. I'd almost given up trying until I saw it listed for a reasonable sum, which upon doing I e-mailed the guy selling it to see if I could knock him down a little. A fiver off and a botched Royal Mail delivery later (postie left it out in the pouring rain, luckily guy had packed it in PVC sleeve which kept the water off) and it was mine.

Charity shop. Picked up for a pound about 15 years ago. 1988 Parlophone press, inner sleeve intact and very little ringwear. Don't think I'd ever listened to this LP all the way through until early 2015 despite owning it for over 10 years (that's the power of BEA for you). Recently seen for sale in a Brighton record shop for £75.

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.
