What are the rarest LPs and/or CDs in your collection? Well? 
Some of the rarer stuff I have in my collection include, Smoke - Risin' An obscure sweet soul group from Kansas City, Missouri. They released one album in 1976. Probably worth somewhere around 200$ Eddie Hazel - Game Dames And Guitar Thangs Eddie's solo debut, got it for around 10$, worth a whole lot more 
The Gap Band - The Gap Band (Tattoo) The Gap Bands self-titled release on the Tattoo label (not to be confused with their self-titled Mercury album). I've only seen one copy of this album ever in my life (... and I, of course, immediately bought it )
The Natural Four - Best Of (CD) Rare and out of print CD compilation featuring the Natural Four. Good luck trying to find this one
Rick James - Bustin' Out Of L Seven (CD) Rare and out of print CD pressing of Rick's second album. Asking prices on Ebay and Amazon are from 90$ upwards. The Eight Minutes - An American Family Rare r&b album released in the early seventies. Mine is in near mint condition
Mutiny - Mutiny On The Mamaship (CD) Rare and out of print Japanese pressing of this great funk album. Amazon has one copy on sale at the moment, the asking price is 328.10$ What rare stuff do you have in your music collection? It is not known why FuNkeNsteiN capitalizes his name as he does, though some speculate sunlight deficiency caused by the most pimpified white guy afro in Nordic history.

Nice examples! Not just because they are rare, but because they kick-ass!
My rarest would probably be Prince - Letitgo on vinyl. It's a promo, white sleeve, with the Dorothy Parker samples. Not really sure if it's rare though. I have never seen another one and rarely hear about it on here, so I guess it could be. | |

Oh, I also got to mention the Band Of Thieves. I have an original copy of their self-titled 1976 release. There's one on sale on Ebay for around 100$. It is not known why FuNkeNsteiN capitalizes his name as he does, though some speculate sunlight deficiency caused by the most pimpified white guy afro in Nordic history.

My rarest Prince related item is probably 'The Gold Experience' on vinyl. It is not known why FuNkeNsteiN capitalizes his name as he does, though some speculate sunlight deficiency caused by the most pimpified white guy afro in Nordic history.

Mostly Prince stuff:
The Undertaker original CD Gett Off (damn near 10 minutes) 12" Sexy Dancer U.K. 12" Soft And Wet U.S. 12" Mazarati Japanese CD Apollonia 6 Japanese CD Hell, I have almost all of the Paisley Park associated artists albums on CD. And an original Grey Album CD by Dangermouse (not a copy with the caricatures on the cover). Those were hard to come by for awhile. | |

I have a German gold-disc edition of 'Around The World In A Day' that is a worth about £150-£200. I got it for about £5
I also have the CD maxi-single of Tupac's "Keep Ya Head Up" which is also very hard to come by. I paid damn near £100 for it. [Edited 9/16/08 8:31am] |

Nice! Yeah, I didn't own the album at all at that time. I figured, instead of going to the mainstream record store and picking it up, I'd check out this little independant store down a side street where I'd previously gotten a couple of cool things like the CD single for "Letitgo". Anyway, I didn't know it was any different until one day I saw a discussion on either here or Housequake regarding a rare German gold-disc edition. In my head I thought "I swear my disc is gold!"....so I looked up the catalogue number for this version and it matched. I was pleased as hell! |

This question is pretty strange if you buy mostly music produced in the marginal genres where the pressings are usually in the 200-500 copies range... | |
