Rarest CD, cassette, vinyl, etc. that you own?

[GarythePotato]

Of the three vinyls that I own, all of them are rare:

7" Evile "Darkness Shall Bring Death" and "Sacrificial" demo MEGA limited edition clear red vinyl
7" Against Me! "Is It Over Yet?" vinyl signed by all of the members of the band
7" White Stripes "Rag and Bone" irregularly shaped limited edition red vinyl

I used to own the limited edition Yellow Digipak of Pearl Jam's 'Ten', limited to 5000 copies, until the CD got nicked from my car. I still have the digipak though - the cd was in a cd wallet with about 20 others. I was/ am gutted.

I also owned Metallica's limited edition single 'Hero of the Day' with a load of Motorhead cover versions as the b-sides and a poster, which were performed live with the man himself.

I also owned the limited edition Smashing Pumpkins 6 track ep of '1979'.

I also had the opportunity to buy the 'Metallican' for £25 when it was first released, but I'd spent most of my money on an Alice in Chains album somewhere else the day before and my parents wouldn't lend me any!

I've probably owned more, but I can't remember at the moment.

I know it's not an actual record, but I own these:

[Curly99]

got a few white label albums and 12" singles by the Smiths, Art of noise, Lloyd Cole and the Commotions to name a few (can't remember them all) and a Sub Pop box set numbered limited edition probably worth something due to the Nirvana track, a few 7" box sets, mainly albums issues on 7" discs and as with all vinyl collectors from the late 70's - early 80's an assortment of coloured vinyl, odd-shaped and picture discs.

I've got a copy of The Alarm BBC Transcription Disc from their February '84 Hammersmith Palais gig. It's an original, not a bootleg.

I believe only about a dozen or so were ever pressed.

I also have a CD of The Alarm live at Lorelei in '84. It's a bootleg and only 20 copies werre made - I know this because I made it! A friend did the artwork, which printed off and sent to people who asked for a copy of the CD. The artwork files were then destroyed.

When the band were on VH1's Bands Reunited I took my copy and got all 4 to sign it. It's the only fully signed copy in the world.

Queen News of the World in Green vynil is probably my rarest. I have Zep's Stairway to Heaven/Hey what can I do 7" picture disc but I think its a bootleg.

I also have a Jap vynil copy of Floyd's Wish you were here, which is a completely different cover.

I have loads of rare Rush stuff that I wont bore anyone with The rarest being an Anthology album from Venezuela.

I guess my rarest is a promo CD of The God Machine's final release "One Last Laugh In A Place of Dying" - goes for loads on ebay

My wife has got the 7" of Public Image by PIL with the original newpaper fold out thingy, probably worth a bit too

The rarest album I have on CD is A Necessary Evil (1993) (Velvet Urge Records), from Australian death metal band Misery.
