[quote="eleaf"]Porcupine Tree - Deadwing. $300 is the LOWEST price I have ever seen for it since the limited run was sold out.[/quote

Kscope have already re-released in absentia / Signify / Lightbulb sun / Stupid dream / on the sunday of life.. / Voyage34 / up the downstairs on vinyl, so i reckon in the next few years we will see Deadwing back on vinyl.

I have Deadwing on blue vinyl. I just wish Kscope would re-release The Sky moves sideways!

You know it will be an investment, my wife will not let me buy the vinyl version after buying last year red special edition Blu-ray.

Just taking this thread right back to my original post.
If anyone is aware of a sensibly priced classic 200g HOTH, could they let me know? (either on this thread or PM)
The fleabay listed ones are just going up and up.
I expect I've well missed the bus on this and should have picked one up years ago......

I may be dreaming but doesn't the final side of Brave have a cut that can give you two different endings depending on where you drop in..

For me a copy of Bowies Earthling would make my day, but the prices at the moment are just ridiculous..

At the moment my holy grail is an original pressing of The Rolling Stones- Sticky Fingers with a really top quality sleeve. The working zipper on the front cover is almost as cool as the album itself (the Stones best imo) but they're pretty easy to dsestroy. I saw a really junk one today and even that was $30. Not really expensive, but too much for a jammed zipper and serious tears, not to mention the grungy disc.

I bought this album on its first release, zipper and all is still in mint condition as i thought the cover looked vulnerable so kept it in a very thick vinyl outer sleeve to protect other lp's being damaged by the zip - plenty for sale on ebay for low prices...

Aah Sticky Fingers. One of my faves. I have 3 copies:

Aus pressing: not bad, no zip, not great sound.
MFSL: slightly better sound although bass seems a bit missing, so still not great, it has a zip.
Japanese pressing: best sound, has a zip but is not an original pressing, about 1978 as far as I can tell.

It isn't a very well recorded album which is a pity as it is one of the best albums ever put out.

My System: Micro Seiki BL51 Turntable, Stax UA7 Tonearm, RCM Sensor Prelude Phono Stage, Ortofon MC15 Super II Cartridge, Rotel RCD865BX Cd Player, Melody I34R (Astro Black 40) amp and Osborn Epitome Speakers.

a mint original pressing of lee morgan's candy. Or maybe one of the 10 or so original plastylite test pressings of tina brooks 'back to the tracks'.

it is worth of notice that only 2 posts-desires are for classic music, and thats a great thing as our prices are relatively low, as compared to rock music

as im completing my collection theres one thing i still miss, shostakovich jazz suite.

For me it's the first single, The Damage Done, by The Sisters Of Mercy. 1000 copies pressed in 1980 and rarely available now. If they do show up on Ebay they fetch around £400. I did see one last Autumn time that went for £720!!!???
Very good bootlegs of it are around for approx £20 but it's not like having the real thing, is it?
Rega P3 w/Audo Technica 120E , Rega Planet, Rega Mira 3, Neat Motive 2
