I don't have anything very special either. The rarest CD I have is a copy of From the Vaults Of Mainman; a bootleg of various David Bowie rarities, including early (unreleased) mixes of songs, a live cover of Imagine, a few alternate mixes, unreleased songs and the like. Cost me only £6 when I got it in Norwich - quite a bargain really. Can't find a good picture of it anywhere though, I'd have to take one myself (which I can't really be arsed to do right now). If any of you wanna hear it just PM me

I treasure a huge pile of original records that my dad gave me when I moved out of home. It's a random and eclectic mix of a whole lot of stuff that he acquired in his teenagehood and at university.

Mine would probably have to be the score to the movie Sunshine.

I love the score anyway, but I have it signed by John Murphy as well as Karl Hyde and Rick Smith from Underworld, who all contributed to it, and Danny Boyle the director.

What makes it even more special is that it still hasn't been released for some reason.

I have quite a few cool collectible CDs etc, but the others are all what I have paid for so, whilst they are good to have, aren't really special in a unique way.

For a while I treasured My Bloody Valentine's Loveless on LP because I thought it was rare to find, but apparently they've been re-released or something.

So I think Pet Sounds on LP, with all tracks on mono, is my most treasured vinyl. It's a limited edition 180 gram vinyl.

On CD it's a tougher choice. The rarest thing I have is Stereolab's Emperor Tomato Ketchup, which isn't that hard to find.

Just remembered I've got a copy of Nico' 'Icon' (the re-release of the remix of 'Drama Of Exile' - long story). Don't know how rare it is, but I can't find it online and I picked it up in a second-hand shop, so I assume it's not exactly the easiest album to find

I don't really own anything particularly "special" in terms of rare pressings, etc. I could make a case for my absolute favorite albums being "valuable" for their sentimental meaning, but that would be boring.

The "coolest" thing I own is probably a CD-R of the mono version of Blonde On Blonde. It's taken from scratchy, worn down vinyl, but hey, it's BOB in mono.

I think that's the purpose of this thread. Show and tell.
