Hey Jeff ,
Speaking of that era. I remember a guy at high had an LP by Pete Brown and
His Battered Ornaments - called "A meal you can shake hands with in the
dark" complete with Cheap Thrills type cartoon on the back. CD's just can't
compete with that sort of artwork. Now that would be a collectors piece.

Interesting question. Most valuable, meaning what it's worth in a "used"
market? The ones you cite were probably printed (and reprinted) in numbers
that would preclude any real collectible value. Valuable LP's are usually
those that gained cult-like following, or were "ahead-of-their-time", but
were
not released in large numbers and then discontinued. There were some bootleg
LP's issued in the 70's that also have some value. I have a couple of Happy
the Man LP's that are apparently worth some money. I also have a really cool
Electric Prunes LP called Mass in F Minor that had one song on the the sound
track to the movie "Easy Rider" (Man, I'm really showing my age now!), and I
think it has some value, as well, except it's also available as a CD now.
I still listen to my vinyl collection, but it's becoming less frequent.
The problem with collections like that is that they are not liquid. It's
hard
to find a buyer if you decide to sell. I guess there's always eBay . . .
