I already got mine. A copy of Infected Mushroom’s only vinyl release I’m aware of, Classical Mushroom. Usually goes for $150+ and found one for like $75 one time.

MODERATORS
Both the Fixed and the Closer to God EPs by Nine Inch Nails.
They're both available on Discogs but they're expensiiiiive.
Yeah for some reason it’s different spending when it’s up on Discogs vs if I came across it in the wild!
Yeah in the wild I might feel differently, especially knowing I could go home with it there and then.
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.
Candlemass' Epicus Doomus Metalicus. I'm looking to find it in the wild, but vinyl fair this weekend so 🤞
I was looking for it for a long time, but I was weak and ordered it from Discogs. No regrets.
Finally got The Fragile by NIN, which was mine for a long time
Pretty much any white label electronica from the 90s
Crowbar, "Broken glass" — apparently the record label withdrew all its releases, claiming it didn't have publishing rights. So it's not allowed for sale on Discogs per the "unofficial release" rule, and I don't know that this record has been reissued on vinyl.
The other albums I'd put in this category are available, they're just pricey, like Bohren & der Club of Gore, "Gore motel". I keep tabs on Secret Chiefs 3 7" singles too, but they run pretty steep for one track per side...
HeadHunters by Herbie Hancock, I've always wanted to own the LP
I overpaid for a version of this in not-great condition but I have no regrets.
If I ever get into vinyl, my first album would likely be R.E.M.'s Murmur. I've loved R.E.M. since 1991, but I only recently dived into their IRS years, and I was absolutely blown away.
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' 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€.
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
Robert Plant and the Strange Sensation - Mighty ReArranger.
Edit: shit, and The Triplets of Belleville soundtrack
Edit: shit, and Knower - Knower Forever
Paranoid, the only Ozzy era Black Sabbath record missing in my collection. I promised myself not to buy it online, but it's a challenge to find a good copy.
Nigel Peppercock - Fresh White Reeboks Kickin Your Ass
The first band I ever fell in love with was Harvey Danger, so if I find any of their vinyls, I would probably buy one if it was reasonable.
The new boards of canada album.
I’m so excited for Inferno the end of May can’t come soon enough
Yeaaaahhh, I have the new single on heavy rotation currently. Can’t wait for the new album!
Did you order wax?
Not yet. Are there preorders available already?
on bandcamp.
https://boardsofcanada.bandcamp.com/album/inferno
I ordered the red wax, but i doubt it will arrive for launch day. At least you get the digital version too.
Much appreciated! 🙏🏻
Anything from my favourite artist's label, This Never Happened. Though the true grail was the first release, which was selling for $1500usd on discogs, until a repress was done which I was able to get.
If AFI's decemberunderground ever gets a reissue I'm gonna pick it up for sure. I've only found it for like 200+ USD used though, and that's just too steep for me at this point. its a fantastic album though.
Same story for Delain's The Human Contradiction. I have every one of their albums but that one.
Any of the older albums by City and Colour and especially the coloured variants. Unfortunately the fanbase is ruthlessly fast in picking up stuff from under my nose 😁 If only my wallet would stretch infinite… Case in point: https://www.discogs.com/release/34331239-City-And-Colour-Sometimes
The Fixx - Phantoms - seen every other Fixx album on vinyl but not this one and it’s their best album. And I don’t order vinyl online
Oh man. So many! For instance...
The first pressing of the 'Stink' E. P. by the Replacements.
https://www.discogs.com/release/3775907-The-Replacements-Stink-Kids-Dont-Follow-Plus-Seven
The jacket has rubber stamped text (not printed like my later copy).
Or the first 7" from Throwing Muses.

Mmm, vinyly...
