What's the rarest record you own?

Question

I have some Chet Atkins, Blackwood RCA Victor recordings, but i'm not sure if they're valuable. What's the rarest you own?

Answer 1

I have been collecting since 1978 and just have too many to list. But I would like to comment of the question asker's statement. You say you have Chet Atkins. That actually may be worth quiet a bit. Trust me (over 3000 lps - all bought new) and most lps are worth 4 bucks. But it's that rare one that could bring in 'dream money'. Chet Atkins was one the best studio/live musicians who played with everyone from Elvis, The Beatles, to Calvin 'Clifford' Coffman (my first step-dad). He would play with anyone for some good music and a good beer. Anyway, back to my point, he's played backing performer on hundreds of famous recordings as well as some obscure stuff with just him and some friends just hanging out playing. So you may have one these rare recordings. Stay off eBay. Find a few reputable collector's clubs here on the net and talk to some other real collectors who specialize more in Chet Atkins type lps. Good Luck! :-)

Answer 3

I have probably 2 hundred vinyl albums in my assortment....mosty from the 70's generation and of a few very difficult to understand artists. Some even date again to the forties and 50's...or even previous. And sure, I do have Zep III in vinyl additionally as with every their others. Some others I have are even of the ancient seventy eight-rpm structure. I actually have a pleasant choice of unmarried forty five's (forty five-rpm) relationship over 50 years ancient. And despite the fact that I wouldn't have a desktop to play them on, I have a few ancient Victrola "tube" documents. They appear like a black plastic rest room-paper roll tube. They are in general round one hundred years ancient.

Answer 4

I have several original Elvis albums from the early 60;s. I think the rarest one is one I have with his head shot etched right into the vinyl on the front and him on stage in black with an audience on the back. Don't know if it's worth anything, but I've never seen another.

Answer 5

Well my whole vynal collection was stollen but when I had it the rarest one I had was a record that was made for an old motorola wind up record player. The kind you see from the RCA label, with the little dog looking in the horn looking thing. I still remember most of the words too. It was called " Fly through my window" I dont remember the name of the artist, but I have found the funny lil lyrics for you.


~ Fly through my window ~

Little bird, little bird.
Fly through my window.
Little bird, little bird.
Fly through my window.
Little bird, little bird.
Fly through my window.
Buy molasses candy.

Fly through my window.
My sugar lump.
Fly through my window.
My sugar lump.
And buy molasses.

Repeat with crow, robin, wipperwil or any other birds you like.

A one-sided 78 rpm recording by my grandfather and his jazz string band circa 1924. It's probably worthless to the world at large, but it's priceless to me.
