I've got about 2000 LPs and 200-odd 7".

No way am I going to post them all, but I particularly like collecting first presses, because the sound quality tends to be nothing less than awesome.

My favourite firsts are;

AC/DC;
TNT, High Voltage, Let There Be Rock, Highway To Hell, Back in Black, For Those About to Rock

Barclay James Harvest;
Octoberon, Gone to Earth, XII

Beatles;
Rubber Soul, Revolver, Sgt Peppers, Abbey Road

Black Sabbath;
Black Sabbath, Paranoid, Master of Reality, Vol 4, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, Heaven and Hell

Boston;
Boston

Camel;
Camel, Mirage

Cream;
Fresh Cream, Disraeli Gears

Deep Purple;
The Book of Talysin, In Rock, Machine Head

Eagles;
Hotel California

Fleetwood Mac;
Rumours

Genesis;
Trespass, Nursery Cryme, Foxtrot, Selling England by the Pound, Duke

Gong;
Flying Teapot, Angel's Egg, You

Groundhogs;
Split

Hatfield and the North;
Hatfield and the North, The Rotter's Club

Hawkwind;
Doremi Fasol Latido, Space Ritual, Warrior On The Edge of Time, Sonic Attack

Iron Maiden;
Iron Maiden, The Number of the Beast

Jefferson Airplane;
Surrealistic Pillow

Jet;
Get Born

King Crimson;
In The Court of the Crimson King

Led Zeppelin;
II, III, IV

Motorhead;
On Parole, Overkill, Ace of Spades, Iron Fist

Pink Floyd;
Saucerful of Secrets, Meddle, Dark Side of the Moon, Animals

Placebo;
Black Market Music, Sleeping With Ghosts

Pulp;
Different Class

Queen;
Queen, Queen II

Supertramp;
Even in the Quietest Moments, Crime of the Century

Thin Lizzy;
Johnny the Fox

UFO;
Phenomenon

Wishbone Ash;
Pilgrimage

The above list paints a poor impression of my collection, simply because tracking down first pressings is a long (but enjoyable) task, and you can't always find your favourites.

I have many modern, funk, reggae, pop, jazz and somewhat esoteric recordings as well as the obvious classic and Prog rock - but the majority is metal from 1979-1986. I also have a large number of classical recordings, which probably equals my metal collection.

All vinyl - I'm trying to replace all my CDs and mp3s because I hate both the sound and the formats.
