Which piece of vinyl would you never sell?
I have a 1986 copy of Disco by the Pet shop boys. The one with all the 12 inch mixes on it
It’s only worth about £60/£65 but I’d never get rid of it, it goes to the grave lol

Bringing the mood down a tad, but I own an original copy of The Chirping Crickets which is in very good nick. It's valued at a couple hundred quid at least.
Belonged to the old man. Buddy Holly was his hero growing up and he used to tell me how devastated when he found out that Holly had died. Dad passed 4 years ago and it's one of my most treasured memories of him. Even if it grew in price 10 fold and times became really tough financially, there's absolutely no way I could ever part with it... |  |

I'll give you a tenner for the Sub pop stuff. |
Will probably keep holda um  , there all at the mother's house in UK, might buy a record player and collect um 1 day.
Think there's quite a bit of it. Haven't really looked at um for 20 odd years. |  | | |

Have signed vinyl copies of The Coral's Move Through the Dawn and Sea of Mirrors. Probably those two even though recent. Just a band I love.
The greatest British band of the last 30 years. Criminally underrated.
New album 388 is amazing. |
Definitely “criminally underrated” and 388 is excellent, but Super Furry Animals just pip them to best band of last 30 years (IMO of course).
I don’t think I’d get rid of any of my vinyl ever; each has its own little story. But, push cone to shove, then I guess the signed copy of Clash City Rockers 7 inch single, now impossible to duplicate. |  | | |

Jokes aside, they will be worth a few quid i reckon. |  |

A copy of Steve Hackett's 'Cured' from 1981. A crap album album and probably his worst but it was a birthday present from my first girlfriend who signed it, hence has deep emotional value. |  | | |

I really liked The Cult back in the 80's, so I have a few LPs and EPs that I wouldn't part with. As an aside, my Grandad used to win loads of vinyl from Radio Orwell with their phone-in competitions. A real random collection of stuff and nearly all promo copies. I have them in a box somewhere. |  | | |

Mozart Horn Concertos played by the incomparable Dennis Brain. |
Signed by Mozart? |  | | |

Bit of an eclectic taste in music, so the collection has become a bit unruly 
I know from buying and selling which records would be expensive / difficult to replace, so my 1960 first UK pressing LP of John Coltrane "Giant Steps", and the Beatles (first UK pressing with red rather than black Parlophone label) and Sugababes (signed promo copy) debut singles won't be going anywhere in a hurry... |  |

I seriously had no idea that old vinyl records had any value at all. I thought they were skip fodder. |  | | |

I've got a copy of Ghostface Killah's Supreme Clientele which I know is worth considerably more than what it cost (last valuation was about £200)
Rare copy of Definitely Maybe with Sad Song on it.
And Jimmy Hendrix's Voodoo Chile (slight return)
Pete Heller's Big Love, it's only worth about £30 but it's the original release. Plus about 100 other dance 12" classics from '97-2003 [Post edited 4 Jun 15:50]

London 0 Hull 4 by The Housemartins signed by Norman Cook. Facilitated by my mum who worked with his mum.
Conversely had all Madonna's early tracks on picture discs that I flogged when a skint student! |  | | |

Madonna's 80s output is premium stuff, didn't fully appreciate how good it was at the time as I was pretty young.
Guessing they were worth a few quid. | |

I'm the same - can't get rid of anything, and I have some absolute howlers, but they're part of my music history. For example, I have, for whatever inexplicable reason accumulated 2 copies of Rod Stewart's Atlantic Crossing. I know I will never listen to them ever again, if I ever did, but they're somehow in my collection.
I have a first pressing of Rival Sons' Before The Fire, still sealed. I won't part with that easily. My intro to a band I've since seen 50+ times.
Also Wille and the Bandits album Grow. Beautiful, beautiful guitars on an album with very varied influences. Not a huge band (they should be), but an absolute favourite from Cornwall's finest, that has been a go-to for years. Both the above got me back into buying vinyl and discovering new bands again, years ago.
Of my older stuff, I think I'd be most upset to part with the music I cut my teeth on, Queen's early LPs, Bowie, Elton... All readily available but I will fight you to the death for those particular copies. |  | | |

I had that. And I sold it. Also sold a couple of copies of Blue Monday and all sorts. I used to collect a lot of vinyl from charity shops in Woodbridge and turns out some were worth a tiny amount, so when I wanted to declutter it was useful income. I still have some left on Discogs, but all the ones that have real value have sold now. |  | | |

All about rarity...people who bought new vinyl between 1995-2005 (popularity fell during that time) will have valuable items simply because there weren't as many copies pressed...1985-1995 less valuable but still sought after (CD's were king)...anything prior to that, the value for commonplace records will be in the condition - as an example, Fleetwood Mac "Rumours"...a near mint copy will be around £30, an excellent one about half that, and even a trashed "collection filler" should get you a fiver
Obviously anything from that earlier period can have rarity value too (not just from having a limited number of pressings)...amazing how genre is a factor - lot harder to find minty copies of punk / metal / reggae, as a lot of those records would have ended up trashed at parties! | |
