Your rarest possession in your music collection.

[kh1958]

Maybe this is fairly rare:

John Mehegan, from Barrellhouse to Bop, with Charles Mingus bass, 10" on Perception.

I have a promo copy of the Hazel Scott 10" Debut LP with writing by one of the 'proprietors' on the back. Several of the UK albums in my racks are likely to be even rarer though, in view of the limited number of pressings made.

I also dislike Johnny Meagen, who is a knave and a scoundrel.

On the other hand, Barry Marlow is my favorite detective.

I've been wondering what happened to my copy of the Dolphin.

[AllenLowe]

well, Johnny was an OK guy, definitely the last of the Mehegans -

I have a couple of interesting things, but this cabinet size photograph of Alpha Armstrong remains my favorite. It is signed and dated 1934, in England, during her husband's European "Exile", which by some accounts she helped bring about, as well as end, luckily for all of us [especially him].

Now that WOULD be priceless.

I have a copy of the Deep Purple album Burn (1st after the great Ian Gillan split) that my brother and I took a hot iron and wax paper to, in an effort to improve upon its basic awfulness. No luck.

[Guest ariceffron]

ian gillan is a weirdo-- ive seen him in concert and he cant sing that well anymore and he has a really weird stage presence

[Big Al]

I guess about the only thing of any value I have is a copy of Lalo Schifrin’s The Dissection and Reconstruction of Modern Music as Performed by the Demented Inmates of Lalo Schifrin’s Ensemble as a Tribute to the Memory of the Marquis de Sade Verve Elite Edition (not sure if the title is accurate, I’m going from memory and don’t have time to check AMG). Found it used for $8; it was hard not to giggle like a little kid at the register while paying for it!

As far as autographed stuff goes, I have an autographed copy of Chuck Jones autobiography Chuck Amuck, that’s taken on even more sentimental value since Jones’ passing.
