your most precious vynil

[benjamin]

Greetings to all

I'd like you to tell what is the vynil that you cherish most, the one(s) you will never exchange, the one(s) that you're pride of. Not only because it is rare, or because it is great music, or great cover, but a mix of all those reasons and more.
My selection might appear very poor as I don't have plenty of rare vynils as some of you (I don't even really know which of my collection are rare and not) but here are a few ones I really love and will always keep close. :

Joe Higgs - Triumph
VA (TSOSA) - Black Slavery Days
Messenger- Afrika is burning (and the black man is doing the freak) - 10'

Joe Gibbs & the Professionals; African Dub Chapter part 3

why ... Angolian Chant!!! so far the best dub i ever heard and the first dub/reggae album that started it all!

The way the vocals come ... I Wanna Dub You ... Dub You Always ... ooh ooh
simple but efficient and superb!!! this album got me thinking and realising that there's more to be than plain stupid white trash that walks the line set out for him by his parents, family, society, ...

and the doorbell in the background drove me crazy!! i noticed it but did not realise it was on the recording ... my stoned ass must have walked to the door for at least 6 times ...

greetings, Upright

nice one benjamin!
i don't have tons of vinyl, but what i do have i really cherish! this may be an odd choice, but my one piece of vinyl i could not part with is Michael Campbell "Home Gard"/"Home Gard Dub" on Upsetters. it's a great track, but it's also the first piece of reggae vinyl i bought and that really started me on the track to the obsessive reggae fan that i am today...
thanks for the cool thread, i am looking forward to seeing some other responses...

The Border - Gregory Isaacs/U Brown.. Not only a superb tune but given to me a lady who taught me a lot.

I bought the 3 LPs by Babatunde Tony Ellis when I went to Sweden in last january and for me too, it was a big and happy surprise. Solid roots reggae for sure.

Most precious ? maybe the LP Breakthrough by The Slickers or Beware by Yabby You, 2 absolute killers, 2 wonderfull covers. Maybe Orthodox by The Rastafarians...

''Orthodox'' would be my most precious...if I had the vinyl!!!
