Well, I have the original Brain 2 Originals of NEU! released in the 70s. They aren't the original pressings on the green label though.

Yeah, I know of that issue, it was released in the late 70ies I believe. I own recently pr essed issues of 'NEU!' and 'NEU! '75', great records, I've yet to hear '2' though.

Now playing:

      



I do have the original Brown Deram Label pressing of that album.

I have the American pressing on the London label, but I do have an original UK Deram pressing of Egg's Polite Force in completely mint condition, one of my most treasured pieces of vinyl.

Now Playing:

Humble Pie - Humble Pie (1970)

Just picked it up today, original UK pressing, listening to it for the first time, Hard/Blues rock with few progressive as well as folk influences, very good actually.

I have a mono pressing of that 'Freak Out!' album. In pretty good condition. Also a stereo pressing. A later pressing. It's in VERY good condition. Love that album.

Last vinyl I played today was Kansas - 'Masque'

First American pressing, I saw this in a record store, it's in almost ubelievable condition (it's after all 40 years old), and just couldn't resist, I paid quite a handsome amount of money, but it's worth every penny.

I'm listening to:

Popol Vuh - Affenstunde (1970)

First pressing of this Kraut classic. It's said to be one of the first "rock" albums in history to include the big moog, which Fricke, according to rumour, sold to Klaus Schulze after some sort of Christian revelation whereafter he wasn't interested in electronic music, and then switched to piano.

And I really love the photo on the back cover:

I don't have any LPs, unfortunately. But right now I'm listening to "The Power and the Glory" by Gentle Giant. Wish I had the LP.

I bought this vinyl back when he joined Kansas just because I wanted to see what he sounded like apart from Dixie Dregs.  Not really my kind of music - very 'guitar-god-showing-off' type stuff, but damn, the guy can play!  Lots of sounds here - country, fusion, prog (sort of),...

Hell Preachers Inc. - Supreme Psychedelic Underground (1968)

Great european psych, played by anonymous musicians under the name "Hell Preachers Inc." Rumour has it that this actually is a early incarnation of Deep Purple and many people seem very sure that it is, but a friend of mine is sure that Blackmore in 1968 played much better guitar than the guy on this album...

A light layer of dust.  I don't seem to use the thing much these days.  I've transferred my hard-to-find records onto CD, and mostly use it to transfer any new discs I come across.

It's great looking at and handling the large album jackets.  Probably the best combination is listening to a favorite album on CD, while looking at the record jacket from the same album, for full effect.  You just can't get the same effect from CD versions of say, The Lamb, Living in the Past, Stand Up, etc.

Glad that you say "only on CD" CD is SUCH an inferior format, I never buy CDs unless absolutely nescesarry.

Electronic Mediation has recenlty been reissued on 180g quality vinyl, you can get it new for 13€ Here, I strongly advise you to get your CD replaced. The original Ohr pressing has the value of (according to "Cosmic Price Guide to original Krautrock records 2006, 2nd ed.") 140€!        

Really?! I have an original copy of Electronic Meditations on vinyl - I'll have to check and see if it is an Ohr pressing.

Currently have close to 1000 progressive rock LP's, many of them imports (European and Japanese)

Still play them too!

Lucky you, I've been collecting for 2 years and nearing 300 pieces of vinyl.    

Well, according to this book

the mint value of "Electronic Meditation" should be 140€, but I've personally never really seen it for sale, but I've done a quick research on my own:   

http://www.popsike.com/php/quicksearch.php?searchtext=electr onic+meditation&thumbs=

(Only the second is a first pressing!)

There you see what it's been sold for on online auctions, a m- goes for around 72€, but it's just one case (which also tells about it's rarity), I'm sure under the right circomstances the record could be sold for much more if it's in perfect condition, a vg+, which is a very normal condition for a 30+ year old record taken normally good care of, cuts the value in half!   

The catalouge nr. of the first pressing must be: "Ohr OMM 56004" and not "Ohr OMM 556004" that's a second pressing! If "Pop-Import" is printed on cover, it's a reissue. And if it includes an Ohr promotion balloon, add 150€ to the value.

Well, hope I hope for you, that you have a first pressing, it's always nice to own rare first pressings.

 

Now playing:

 

Midnight Sun - Walking Circles (1972)

Great Danish jazz-influenced prog-rock!
