What is your "if I see it, I have to buy it no questions asked" album? (sh.itjust.works)

I guess another way to say it is “what’s your grailz”, but I’m curious about what records are sought out by people and learning why it’s important to them.

For me, it’s the Aquarius/Chinook 7” by Boards of Canada. Huge BoC fan and it would be the last record I’d need to complete their official discography on vinyl. Also pretty sure this verison of Aquarius is different than other released versions. Every once in a while it’s up on Discogs for $$$, but if I saw it in person I’d pay whatever the sticker said.

Iron Maiden's Somewhere In Time

Oh man, about ten years ago I lucked out and found an early Uk press on my local record store that was pretty beat up. Thing about Maiden LPs though, even if there are a lot of scuffs and crackle, the music ends up overpowering the noise from the disc.

For me, it's Killers and Number of the Beast that I haven't been able to hunt down.

It is more for the album cover than the album.
