In a box of records I bought at an estate sale about 12 years ago was an album with a white cover and the word "pepper" written in pen in the corner. When I removed the disc, it had a generic "mobile fidelity" white label on one side and the other side had no label and had no grooves. It was blank. I dropped the needle and it was side one of the Beatles Sgt Pepper. I still have it, or course. I've not played it all the way through yet, but what I did play sounded pretty amazing.

The record I have that nobody else has is a mono promo copy of Bob Dylan's The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan. What makes it special Bob Dylan signed it for me at a 4th of July, 1968 party at my parents house. He was best friends with one of my parents friends, a DJ in Milwaukee and came to the party with him.

I have a record, not really "rare" because there were a couple of hundred released, called "Greatest Skips." An artist went through his personal record collection and recorded yes, skips. He then compiled them unto a vinyl album, fifteen minutes of skips per side. My copy is still sealed, and will probably remain that way until the day I die.

Most of my major rarities come from my Queen collection, which I've been building for over 25 years now. I own a Queen - At The Beeb test pressing released in 1989 (with BBC tracks rom 1973). It came with paper copies of the sleeve. The label on the vinyl is plain white with no information, but it has a red stamp '002' which also coincides with the same stamp on the outer paper sleeve. I've looked for copies for years on auction sites and I've only ever seen 3 others that were numbered. If you have any other information, it would be great. This is an official test pressing and not a bootleg. Also dozens of promo copies, picture discs from various countries, alternate covers, etc. Very proud of my Queen collection and would love to see what you have in your collection ;) Great video!!

Amazing stuff Dillon! I actually purchased a reissue of that Montgomery Express. After you showed it a few months ago I had to listen to it and had to have a copy. Amazing pieces man!!

Great video. I am going to check out your other channel. I have a test pressing of the first The Cars album. I purchased it at an independent record store back in the day. It is amazing how much great music exists that no one has ever heard. The internet is a blessing when it comes to finding great music that you never knew about.

Your Led Zeppelin II jostled my memory and reminded me of a similar record I own. The record is “Oh Good Grief!” by Vince Guaraldi. Side one is indeed the Guaraldi, but side two is… Anthem Of The Sun by the Grateful Dead. Both albums are Warner Bros, the Guaraldi is WS 1747, and Aoxomoxoa is WS 1749, so very close catalog numbers. Based on the label and runout info, my record is a 1978 Jacksonville pressing. I’ve never seen another mention of this pressing anomaly anywhere. And just to make this oddity even more fun, Vince Guaraldi was apparently friends with the dead, is in a photo in the Aoxomoxoa packaging, and played in a very short lived group with Jerry Garcia around 1972 that played a couple live shows.

Awesome video as always. Your collection is truly one of a kind! That being said I think there's one record I have that most people don't have, Mossafer by Shahram. It's a pretty obscure Iranian disco/funk/pop album from '81 when Iranian refugees came to the United States. Great stuff.

If I remember correctly, during the punk era, a band issued a 7" 45 with two spindle holes, one of which was off-center. They said that if you listened to the record while it was set off-center, it was guaranteed that it would make you ill. (I own a lot of records that have that effect on me, even in spite of their well-centered spindle holes).

The Montgomery Express album sounds so intriguing. Such a great collection of rarities. That Zep album is cool. I don’t know much about mispressings. I remember as a kid Saturday Night Fever and The Bee Gees were all the rage. My neighbor had SNF soundtrack (or a similar double disco album) and the labels didn’t match what was on the albums. Now those kind of things might be interesting, and not an annoyance, but it must have happened often. Might be interesting to look into. Thanks for the great video.

My 1st of two "rare" LPs is Ra Can Row (which i bought solely for the trippy cover), which is rare enough that the owner of a small indie music shop was bragging to me about owning a copy. He was shocked that I knew what it was and owned a copy. My 2nd rare LP is a 1st edition Takoma pressing of John Fahey's Blind Joe Death which I got signed by Mr. Fahey when I went to one of his shows during the mid 1980s, one of my treasures.

Mine is the original pressing of Bathorys debut album with the yellow goat cover, I paid close to retail for it, but it's still amazing to have.

It's funny you mentioned the Crazy World Of Arthur Brown which to this day I cherish that album......the devil of FIRE! When you mentioned the founding fathers and pioneer of syncopated/synthesized drums we can't forget the great Dick Hyman and his incredible late sixties album The Electric Eclectics Of Dick Hyman-a true masterpiece.

Talk about Hummingbird. I have a cool one. English singer/songwriter Luca Nieri put out a 7" with Hummingbird on side A and Milk & Honey on side B on the Wonderfulsound label where he hand-drew each sleeve. 50 were pen drawings and 8 were also coloured in. I managed to get one of the coloured ones, but it was lost in the mail. When I contacted Miles at the label about it, he asked Luca to make me another one and send it to me, which he did, so now I have the ninth of this 7" out of 8 copies worldwide :)

I got to admit I don't have any of those albums lol. The one that I found the most interesting was the Underground Fire LP, the name alone sounds so retro, so hip.

I owned an unique Blues album from about 1979 to about 1990. Since I did not listen to it much, I sold it in my parents’ garage sale. It was released around 1970. It had a white cover with maybe a pencil sketch drawing of the artist. I think the songs are played mostly by the artist, a bassist and a drummer. Someone like Eric Gale sat in and played on at least one song. If memory serves correct, the album may have had a similar R.L. Burnside or Junior Kimbrough kind of vibe. The songs were kind of an “off-beat” blues. There is a less than 1% chance that I may still own this vinyl album, but I doubt it. I am sure I would appreciate the album a lot more now than in 1990. The artist probably was an outlier.
