I like the look of that Klaus Schulze album!

I would show you some pics of mine, but my carpet wouldn't do them justice..

My prog vinyls:

Jethro Tull - Songs From The Wood
Genesis - Wind & Wuthering,
Peter Gabriel - So
Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here, The Wall
Marillion - Fugazi, Real To Reel
Rush - Exit Stage Left, Grace Under Pressure
ELP - In Concert
Patrick Moraz - Human Interface
Mike Oldfield - Tubular Bells, Five Miles Out, Crises
The Moody Blues - The Seventh Sojourn

I can't see the pictures either...I used to have about 200 albums on vinyl and lost most of them when a pipe burst and flooded our house ...yes, I know vinyl survives getting wet but the covers went mouldy and the insurance company gave me money.....I had many Yes, King Crimson, Led Zep, Floyd, Genesis, ELP amongst others, saved just a few then gave them away (to charity shop) as I bought CD's to replace them. The last vinyl album I had was the first UK LP, got the CD last year so off to the charity shop with the vinyl....

The pictures are coming in fine for me.

Just a few hours ago, I bought Foxtrot on vinyl down at my local record store for 3 dollars.

I have the cd of course, but it's always cool to the get the vinyl.

I don't know if vinyl is "cool", but there's no doubt that they offer the best possible listening experience (if you have decent equipment and if you treat your vinyl with care). And it's fun to collect, far more interresting and challenging than collecting CDs!

My most treasured pieces of vinyl are:

Can - Tago Mago. Original german first pressing on United Artists, highly sought after gem, worth much money,roughly about 50 to 100$ (depending on condition, mine is ex-)

Popol Vuh - Affenstunde (has such a great photo on the back). Original german first pressing on Liberty, worth roughly 30 - 70$ (depending on condition, mine is vg++)

The two first Magma LPs, not sure if 1000 Degrees Centigrads on the black phillips label is a first pressing, but I'm sure it's a very early French pressing, possibly pressed the same year or the year after. These two are also highly sought after and worth approx. 40-70 $ (depending on condition, mine are ex+)

(Self entitled second album, the Jesus innercover is fantastic) 2. JON ANDERSON ("Olias of Sunhillow" with the wonderful interior book designed by Roger Dean) 3. TRIADE ("La Storia di Sabazio": pretty cool gold cover a rarity these days) Cheers!!

The "Olias of Sunhillow" cover was designed by Dave Roe, not Roger Dean.
