Not that much these days, actually! Been buying up lots of back catalogue stuff lately, here are some acquisitions over the past month or so I can cross off the list:
 
Steve Hillage- Fish Rising, Motivation Radio, Live Herald (yeah I had it on my list too- fantastic live album, this one)
Magazine- Real Life, Secondhand Daylight, The Correct Use Of Soap (not prog, but if there was a band of the punk/post-punk era I'd recommend to prog fans it would be this lot. What a great band!)
King Crimson- In The Wake Of Poseidon, Lizard, Islands
VDGG- Trisector (my dad, the massive VDGG fan, didn't really get into this yet, missing David Jackson's presence, but I think it's far superior to 'Present'- much more focussed)
Genesis- Archive 2, 1976-92 (actually it's not really a patch on the first box in terms of inclusions/execution BUT I had to have it and it only cost me £8 in a charity shop!)
Humble Pie- Performance; Rockin' The Fillmore
Man- Live At The Padget Rooms
 
As for some still on the list;
 
Steve Hillage- Rainbow Dome Music
Amon Duul II- Phallus Dei, Live In London
Renaissance- Prologue, Novella, A Song For All Seasons
Soft Machine- Bundles, Softs (though these seem to be out-of-print, I've heard some tracks and I like them a lot)
Tommy Bolin- Teaser (this one's out-of-print too but I had the record and it was very good; Phil Collins was on one track too, I seem to remember)
Nektar- Journey To The Center Of The Eye
Simple Minds- Real To Real Cacophony
Elton John- Elton John
Weather Report- Tale Spinnin'
Mahavishnu Orchestra- Between Nothingness And Eternity, Apocalypse, Visions Of The Emerald Beyond
 
Am waiting for Esoteric's remasters of Man's 'Back Into The Future' (a 3-disc set, apparently!) and 'Maximum Darkness', Stud's eponymous album (I think they had members of Taste and Blossom Toes- Dick Heath has mentioned this album a lot here and I'm suitably intrigued), T2's 'It'll All Work Out In Boomland' (am very familiar with this terrific album but would like the reissue as Esoteric always do a brilliant job) and the early Keef Hartley albums.

^ hahaha, that's exactly what I was going to say! Even if I cut out all the non-prog (maybe half of the items on my list) it would easily be larger than my actual collection.  I guess you could say I'm never happy with what I have to be happy with UnhappyLOL

I have a wishlist of over 100 albums on our library's web site. My real shopping list is a lot shorter right now:

- The Tangent - Not as good as the book
- Nemo - Si Parti I (on order from Musea right now)
- Van der Graaf Generator - Trisector (a full replacement for the promo CD-ROM I reviewed earlier)
- Rush - Snakes & Arrows Live
- J'Accuse - debut album (due April 5th)

That's about it right now, really.... except for maybe a few Jukka Tolonen albums, a recent discovery (thanks again, Alucard!)

Hey Blacks! One question. Your 'battered vinyl' copy of PXR5. Which version is it?
I own the very first issue with the uncensored artwork on the back (i.e. the wrongly wired British three pin electrical plug). Almost as soon as it was released, idiots started referring to the cover when unsure of how to wire a plug, despite the warning "H.M.Govt. Health Dept' WARNING: THIS WIRING CAN SERIOUSLY DAMAGE YOUR HEALTH." Result: A few small fires and the odd frizzy hair-do.
All unsold copies were quickly recalled, and a large unpeelable sticker was slapped on every cover in the hope of curtailing a deluge of law suits. The picture no longer appeared on all subsequent reprints.
The original copies with the sticker are at least as rare as those without, though re releases with no plug (visible or obscured) are of little interest to all but the most fanatical HW completist. 
 
Anyway, on topic- No real list as such, as I've just acquired a load of great sounds which I'm busy absorbing at the mo. namely: Litmus, Kryptothesie, Omnia, Krom Lek (not Kromlek or Kromlech, but Krom Lek), the Magic Mushroom Band, Acid Mother's Tempel, and a few old faves, like Ozrics' 'Erpland' and Here & Now's 'Ufoasis'. Yeah, I've come over all Space Rock all of a sudden, having just received my ticket for the Sonic World Fest, and pre-booked my tickets for the Hawkfest. Bring on the summer.

Hi emdiar

Good to hear from you! My vinyl PXR5 is not rare at all as far as I'm aware, certainly not for a serious HW collector. On the front cover you can see wires and three 13 amp fuses, but the Hawkwind logo obscures how the wiring actually works. The back cover is just black with the track listing and credits.

I didn't know that about the artwork on the orginal pressing. Thats quite a funny story, and exactly the sort of mess Hawkwind would get themselves into back then!
