If you had a Time Machine what Vinyl would you buy and the year?

For me I would go back to 1975 and buy
as many Pink Floyd
Wish You Were Here First UK issues as I could and if still in stock in the shops as many The Dark side of the Moon second UK issue vinyl I could find. Think first issue would be sold out by then.
What about you members?

 

Orange and tan Reprise label lps of the first three Neil Young albums.

It would be so nice to plat a mint condition one!

 

Sorry to be a little bit excessive, but I would buy ALL the Beatles output in the UK. Twice, at least.
And also, come to think of it, all first issues of all the artists I love from the 60s, 70s, etc....

 

If I had a second trip all the Beatles would be next,well said.

 

I'd say the late '90s. I missed out on some Classic Record and DCC releases that are now stupid expensive. In fact all those '90 vinyl records are stupid expensive.

 

1968 : Best year for my albums choice.

 

I'll one-up you on that and say 1963 and buy as many of The Squires ~ The Sultan as I could get my hands on.

 

This question reminds me of reading Stephen King's time-travel novel 11/22/63, about a guy who finds a portal back to 1958 and decides to prevent the JFK assassination. He never mentions records, but all I could think about was buying mint copies of Kind of Blue, Coltrane, Blue Note LPs, Sinatra, etc. and bringing my haul back to the 21st.

 

Fall October 1969...all the sealed Led Zeppelin II RL pressings I could carry. Hold them for about 50 years then sell them and retire.

I'd also pick up a few sealed copies of Led Zeppelin I as well.

 

Same here -- buy a buncha original Blue Notes, bring 'em back and sell 'em on eBay to crazy rich Asian collectors. Also, original McIntosh tube amps . . .

 

1959 for Kind of Blue.

Then I'd stay for a decade to buy Coltrane, Blue Note, Beatles, Led Zeppelin II RL, etc.

 

1980

Frances-Marie Uitti - The Second Bow

 

All you guys are gonna mess up the Space-Time Continuum...

 

Just need a Beatles Butcher cover.

 

Me too.

 

1966 buy up all the butcher covers i could find

 

the peelable banana cover of the velvet underground and nico. when it first came out so i would have the cover that had to be changed due to an unauthorized image of someone on the back.

 

Wouldn't someone would become an analogue loving terminator and go back and sabotage the development of the CD?

 

Maybe travelling back to early 1963 and get mint copies of Please Please Me with the black/gold Parlophone label, both mono and stereo.

 

Why didn't I think of that!

 

First mono UK pressings of all the 60's Beatles and Stones vinyl

 

It would be awesome to be able to walk into a 1969 record store and grab a copy of each of these albums:

 

1969. An RL pressing of Led Zeppelin II.

 

1968, For two or three Mono copies of The Birds, The Bees, & The Monkees!
Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

 

I'd go back to 1900 for some wax cylinders. First to Pathé in Paris, to obtain 205 cylinders of Gregorian chant recorded in 1899, none of which are known to exist today. Then to New York to visit Gianni Bettini, who recorded opera stars and celebrities. I'd make sure to get his recordings of the voice of Mark Twain, who made cylinder records on three separate occasions but nothing has survived.
