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.

Paw - Dragline

I don't really listen to that one often, but it is very essential for the development of my taste in music and also has helped me through some difficult times. It sadly goes for around 200€ on Discogs and I am not willing to pay that much for an LP I have not held in my hands. If I see it in the wild and in good condition, maybe.

Foetus - Deaf

Foetus' first album and the last one I am missing. Sadly was too late to grab one of the 2019 rereleases. So now I am looking for a good copy of that or of the 1981 original. Goes for about 80-100€.

Disco Elysium OST

Gets a repress now and then, but I won't give the publisher one penny after what they did to the developers and the franchise. So I am hoping to find a used one, but those too go for 200€. Not gonna pay that, even if I find one in the wild.

Hotline Miami 1 & 2: The Complete Collection

Another video game soundtrack. Another 300€+ I am not going to pay. Maybe there will be a repress in the future, who knows. But I don't think I will ever own this one.

Oh yeah getting video game OSTs is so nice, the FEZ soundtrack is definitely my second pick absolutely love that score from Disasterpeace
