Your coolest record.?

[bubinga5]

My sister played David Bowie earlier, it was Lets Dance, she thinks that is the coolest record shes ever heard. we often get into discussions about music, this is possibly the coolest record ive ever heard, and for the record, i would so smoke you on the bass bitch.

no jazz bass will save you dude.

Surely the law of cool is that once something has been described as cool, It ceases to be cool.

I would never describe my beautiful [url="http://www.theresidents.co.uk/museum/browse.php?id=186"]12" picture disc of the Residents eskimo LP[/url] as cool as the eyeballed ones transcend all that nonsense.

Slayers 1983 Haunting the Chapel ep original pressing. For rarity and thrash metal nerd factor.

My original 1959 pressing of 'Time Out' by Dave Brubeck Quartet is up there...

[Bilbo]

To be cool, it has to be on vinyl. Nothing on cd is cool, nothing digital is cool.

My coolest record? Probably Diamond Head's White album.

[MisterFingers]

An original UA edition of Can's 'Tago Mago" (with the pocket sleeve) or a 1978 Jamaican pressing (complete with glue on the label) of 'Leggo Dub"?

[Roger2611]

I guess it's my original pressing of Public Image by Public Image Ltd, nothing rare or special about it but to me cool because it was the first record I actually chose to buy rather than something my parents brought for me (Convoy by C W McCall!)

[John Schoen]

Mine has to be Live At Leeds from The Who. The scribbled label on the disk with the text "Crackling noises OK, do not correct". Vinyl of course.

Donald Fagen - Night Fly (on vinyl)

[Raymondo]

Not sure ...are these cool? ...you tell me...

Marquee Moon ...Television 12" single .....and I have the album.

Camebert Electrique ...Gong .....1st 50p album on Virgin

Cool to me ....Hogwash ....Groundhogs,first Album I ever bought,original tripple fold sleeve ....I thought Pete cruickshanks' Zematis bass was the coolest looking bass ever!!

[neepheid]

I don't have any records, but my Dad has one of the 12" picture discs of Curved Air, "Air Conditioning", that's pretty cool in my book.

[weepaul]

Metallica's 'Master of Puppets', signed by Lars,Kirk,James,and Cliff(R.I.P).........got the sticky pass from the Belfast gig to go with it.

[RhysP]

I wouldn't call it "cool" (because I'm not 15) but one of my favourites is my Vinyl copy of Talas' "Sink your teeth into that" that is signed "To Rhys from William".

[flyfisher]

To me, 'cool' implies something laid back and not sensation-seeking or wildly popular. I'd probably choose something by JJ Cale.

Surely things can still be cool once you are over 15 years old?

Great that he found the time to sign that for you , what with his helicopter flying duties and the baby being nearly due .

[Twincam]

New order Blue Monday 12inch with the cover cut out to look like a old floppy disk and the code bar running down the side. Cool single cool album cover.

[yepmop]

For me a 45 rpm single of "All The Young Dudes" by Mott The Hoople, I was/am a huge Mott fan and have all their singles on vinyl.

[Earbrass]

I still have tons of vinyl. Not sure what's "cool" though. Could it be something from my stack of 70's dub - [i]The Best Dressed Chicken in Town[/i], perhaps? Or perhaps some Professor Longhair? I've got a Sun Ra disk somewhere - no idea of the title. Or maybe the classic Gerry Anderson story LP "A Trip to Marineville" / "Thunderbirds Are Go". There's an EP of nursery rhymes in there somewhere featuring the voice of Boris Karloff, among others. But perhaps pride of place in "cool" terms is the album of Russian Folk songs performed by the Red Army Choir: "[i]Kalinka![/i]"

[redbandit599]

Signed copies of "Whispering Grass" and "Sing Lofty' by Don Estelle and Windsor Davies.

I'll get my coat....

[toneknob]
