This thread should please vinylphiles, and the oldest copy of a vinyl release I own is The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Electric Ladyland, Polydor 1968 D - 55 years old. What's yours?  ------------- quality over quantity, and all kind of PopcoRn almost beyond |

I've got plenty of older shellac, but as for oldest vinyl (all 10"s) that I know of while sitting here: Sidney Bechet, Claude Luter Vol. 1, 1951 (Vogue, France) ...ten more: Kathleen Ferrier - Alto Rhapsodie /Four Songs (Brahms), 1953 (Decca, UK) Kathleen Ferrier - A Recital of Bach Arias, 1954 (Decca, UK) Yma Sumac - Voice of the Xtabay / Inca Taqui, 1954 (Capitol, US) Eartha Kitt - That Bad Eartha, 1954, (RCA Victor, US) The Modern Jazz Quartet - Modern Jazz Quartet, 1955 (Prestige, US) Duke Ellington - "The Duke", 1955 (Coral Germany) Eartha Kitt - Down to Eartha, 1955 (RCA, US... I think... don't have it here) Lionel Hampton Lionel Hampton - Vol. 1, 1955 (RCA, France) The Ahmad Jamal Trio - The Ahmad Jamal Trio, 1956 (Epic, US) Erroll Garner - Concert by the Sea, 1956 (Columbia, US) To my knowledge none of these are particularly valuable. I just bought them (cheap) because I like the music. But I've got some undated 1950's classical Telefunken etc... releases that people buy for over 200$. If one has an eye for rare and unique classical releases/labels - that's where you can still stumble over treasures basically for free.

Non music Thunderbirds and Captain Scarlet (episode narrated on either side) from about 67 or thereabouts. Music I threw out a lot when I moved out of the family home back in the 90's. Could well be that Aphrodite's Child - 666 is now the oldest I own in terms of when issued although I'm sure I owned a copy of King Crimson's debut at one point.

Sadly I got rid of all my vinyl a few years ago. But when I still had it, the oldest album I had was Pilgrimage by Wishbone Ash (1971).

I'm a record collector and record trader, I have jazz 78s that go back a ways. As far as records that are on this site, I have some of Miles' very early records. I don't have a 78 player, but if I can get my hands on some collectable 78s, I will trade them for LPs. |

I used to have a whack of 'super oldy' discs that were my folk's and maybe from theirs before that??. But they sat on the floor in my office and we had a wee flood. Every one got wet, so to the dump they went.  ------------- Thank you for supporting independently produced music |

I sold most of my collection back in the 1990s and retained anything I thought (at that time) would be worth holding onto, like several bootlegs. I only have about 50 records left. The oldest one I have is: Walt Disney's Sleeping Beauty (Disneyland DQ1228, 1964) - https://www.discogs.com/release/10367663-Various-Walt-Disneys-Sleeping-Beauty" rel="nofollow - https://www.discogs.com/release/10367663-Various-Walt-Disneys-Sleeping-Beauty That one I saved from a dear friend that passed away last year who was into a lot of Disney stuff. He also had a bunch of Sesame Street albums, plus soundtracks from Space 1999, Battlestar Galactica, and Doctor Who. I saved all those. The oldest prog related one I still have is: Syd Barrett's Barrett (Harvest SHSP4007, laminated version, 1970) - https://www.discogs.com/release/670615-Syd-Barrett-Barrett" rel="nofollow - https://www.discogs.com/release/670615-Syd-Barrett-Barrett I bought that back in the 1980s for $9.99 (still has the price tag on it) at a place called the Record Cellar on Bustleton Avenue in Philadelphia. I thought my copy of Ummagumma might be from 1969, but it's the 1973 reissue where the Gigi soundtrack has been airbrushed out.

Got a bunch of 78's myself somewhere, containing everything from Christmas music to accordion waltzes, plus two gramophone players.. As for vinyl, I have some old classical records from the late 50's to about mid 60's. I think one of the oldest ones is a 1958 copy of Brahms 'Violin Concerto in D Major', but I have to look through them all again. I also have a worn Norwegian 1965 copy of Beatles' 'Rubber Soul' and an equally beat up early UK 1967 'Sgt. Pepper', but also a decent copy of Little Boy Blues' 'In the Woodland of Weir' (1968). For prog, an US original Soft Machine 'Volume 2' (1969) is my overall oldest ------------- RIO/AVANT/ZEUHL - The best thing you can get with yer pants on! |

Hi, I think my copy of MAD DOGS AND ENGLISHMEN was the one LP that took the cake ... I might have others, and I think Sgt Pepper's was one, I finally dumped a few years back (the American version because it was a horrible copy of the original with some effects muddied and downplayed) ... as I had gotten the IMPORT of the Sgt Pepper's way back in 1974, which is when I found the incredible difference between the American and English albums ... and guess what ... the same thing happened for Dark Side of the Moon ... which I bought the import within a year (posters were different too!!!) and got rid of the American album ... So, this made sense for American listeners to get the remastered PF albums, up to DSOTM ... I never checked the next album, but THE WALL seems to have been released properly in both countries. I think after the attention Allan Parsons got, that some folks did not want to be accused of being jerks ... what happened to those albums earlier was a travesty and those folks should have gone to jail! ------------- Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about!
