Fun Stuff > BAND
Somebody really likes Animal Collective...

I have a terribly difficult time justifying purchasing any music over $20. However, my one big purchase was the limited edition seven-vinyl Sigur Ros "box set". I think I paid $150 for that, and am terribly happy I did.
Other than that, I don't think I own anything special. I have an original White Album with white vinyl, I have the clear/coloured Decemberists single series, and I have the hand-painted Wrens Seacaucus and Silver CDs (got Seacaucus autographed by the band after one of their shows, too), but that's about it.

I guess the most expensive record set I own is the absurdly beautiful Eluvium vinyl boxset. It's a big, hardcover book containing seven pieces of vinyl, each in a sleeve with original artwork made just for the set and a huge fold out poster in the back. The inside front cover has an old fashioned library card hand signed by Matthew Cooper, Temp. Res. label leader and the set's designer Jeremy DeVine and the woman who did the artwork, Jeannie Lynn Paske. It also has my name, handwritten as well, on the fourth line. It's numbered (#63/1000) to boot. I truly love it. Worth every penny of the $120 I spent on it.

I read this as "Worth every penny of the $1201 spent on it" and was like, goddamn, is this the same dude who thought the Animal Crack box was priced too high? :lol:
The most valuable thing in my collection (price-wise) is the Blur 10 Year Anniversary Box Set, which is going on Amazon now for $225. But I didn't pay a dime for it. My girlfriend's parents ordered a copy for her as a Christmas present, it didn't arrive, they complained to the retailer who sent a replacement, then the first one showed up. So she had two copies, and I got one.
Darling, you may have broken my heart, but I'll always have fond memories of when you gave me all those CDs.

I had a few months of "vinyl fever". I have a couple of Buck 65 records, some BRMC singles, and a couple of Coil albums. I love love love the Coil albums (Black Light District on transparent vinyl yessssss) but $80 on ebay for a record was just too much for me.

I think my absolute favourite record find has been Horse Rotorvator is the back of the used bin of a local record store. So happy, it made me.
