There's two, both on cassette and from the early 70's; "Ever Sense The Dawn" by Providence, on the Moody Blues' Threshold label (I'm almost afraid to play it in case I break it) and "Four Sail" by Love (the original UK issue on cassette), which I prefer to "Forever Changes" though I'm probably in a minority of one there.

I sold the Accidental Occidentalism compilation CD for £140 a few months ago & have Intense Visitation 12" (only 50 copies made) which is worth ~ £120. Not bad for for some old crap I had in my parents loft for 10 years.

I've got some of the original Production House recordings on 12" which are pretty much mint - and I've seen the prices on those recently!

My copy of the Joy Division Sordide Sentimentale recording is a bootleg, I fear. If it was an original it would be worth a few bob. I'm a bit miffed that my original The Stooges on Elektra is only worth about twenty quid though. Bah!
My Dad has a couple of Beatles flexi-disc-Christmas-things and some Elvis 78's (not original Sun pressings if I remember right) that also don't seem to be building up much of an inheritance.

No hair shows you care.
I've got an original of whitehouse "right to kill" which i think is worth a couple of hundred quid and a load of other stuff like that plus some well rare Thobbing Gristle stuff and stuff like that though a lot of it i've already flogged on ebay.
also got a few well rare and obscure anarcho punk type thangs like part1, magits, rondos singles which go for silly money on ebay.
plus loads of acid house/acid records that are worth well over £100 inc Armando's own copy of "land of Confusion" that he gave to me and him and Dj Sneak covered the sleeve and label of with hip-hop grafitti style artwork.
don't think i'd ever flog any of them though.
fat bob's got loads of northern soul 7"s that are worth four figure sums so my rarest records are a bit paltry in comparison.

I don't know if you currently can, but twenty-odd years ago bootlegs were all over record fairs. I've never seen an original though.
I've a hessian-bound Still and a blue vinyl of Les Baines Douche too, not that I've got anything at the moment to actually play them on.

Oo oo I've got that. Never knew it was so expensive.
Have got Musical Messenger by Psycho Pab which is worth a bit but VERY rare (only 50 pressed I believe)
Also visions of rage
Charade by Prince, on vinyl. Its pretty rare, and only the hardest Prince nuts have heard it. I got it from his NPG shop in 1994. Its Prince's pastiche he did of his own incredible album, 'Parade.' Some of the songs are the same, performed with different lyrics and instruments, others are new. Prince was going through his most creative period at this time, about 1986.

I keep forgetting I've got a couple of dance rarities - for some reason I tend to mainly think of rarities in terms of industrial or experimental music 
Anyway, these are a couple that I've watched going up in value over the last few years:
first transwave ep, on trans'pact (one showing for £40 on popsike, sold about 3 years ago)
blue planet corporation - overbloody flood, on blue vinyl (similar prices showing on popsike)
black dog productions - bytes, on bronze vinyl. well it's great that it's on bronze vinyl, but as is often commented on in various on-line listings, there's a noise of somebody frying chips in the background
though it's not too obvious when the music's in full effect.

what a class label - reading up on production house the other day and it turns out it was started up by former Galaxy member Phil Fearon - considering how rubbish Galaxy were thats a mighty achievement. rarely a bad release on PH.

very intriguing! I reckon parade is the greatest prince album (in a from start to finish kind of way) - would love to hear this.

They had a few years when pretty much everything they released was pretty good - the original mixes and the remixes of most of their 12's. The prices expected for some of their better known releases have steadily increased - scarily so in fact - but these will no doubt drop as interest in the label and 'hardcore' fades to be replaced by something else.
Phil Fearon wasn't that bad - I remember that his music was very much of its time.
I think mine might have been this http://www.discogs.com/release/346292 but I know a junglist turned dubsep freak so I swapped it for this http://www.discogs.com/release/17932 - tune

shut it you egg!
you swapped one copy of a record for another copy of the same record? do you have conversations with yourself too?

Got a lot of mint reggae singles and twelves that regularly go for £80-100, such as Bunny Wailer's Rise & Shine, The Defenders' Our Rights, Albert Malawi's Children Of The Emperor, Peter Broggs' Jah Golden Throne. A few that go for more such as Keety Roots - African Blood, went for over £200 recently.
Also dubplates by the likes of Dennis Brown, Ewan Napthali etc, not sure what they'd go for, some are unique.

Those tunes are not that bad, they fit quite squarely within the context of early 1980's pop music (I might even own a 12").

Originals now go for about £600 or more (oh how I wish I'd bought that one I saw in Kensington Market in the early 90's).woah!! you can get bootlegs of that? with a reproduction of the original artwork???
the original of that goes for over £300. mate of mine flogged one for £370 on ebay a few years ago.
The bootlegs come up on ebay now and then - there are two different boots and here's how to spot them: http://www.joydiv.org/S5.htm

cool. thanks for that . will keep a look out. think there's bootlegs of that factory sampler 7" which came in the silver sleeve going about now too? sure i saw one recently.

Yes there's quite a few of those around at the moment - it looks like a very nice reproduction but there are a couple of obvious (but not major) differences to the original. The main difference of course is the price you'll have to pay - originals go for about £125 but you can get one of the copies for under £20.
