What's most near and dear to my heart is a tie between the original vinyl copy
of "For Badgeholders Only (parts 1 and 2)" and my copy of "Strange Tales From
The Road".... two titles that I *absolutely* had to have in my hands.... and I
got them both in the early '90's from Saturn Records in Oakland/San
Francisco... back when Goldmine still accepted ads for bootlegs... :-P

The coolest non-bootleg thing I have is the giant-sized poster of the "Led
Zeppelin II" cover... must be about four feet tall.... got that over 10 years
ago at a record convention at my college... haven't ever seen them for sale
since then.....  the worst part that there was about a billion bootlegs for
sale and I didn't have *any* money at all.... :-P

Got my copy of "Death Wish II" about 10 years ago at a place in Rochester, New
York.... the great, great House Of Guitars.... millions of albums at dirt
cheap prices.... I probably paid $4.99 for it.... ;-)   Which reminds me... I
need to get DW2 on CD... any idea if they included the Japan 45 tracks as
bonus tracks on the CD?
