Below you will see 4 image photos from a VERY, VERY, VERY Rare LP Vinyl record, "JOHNNY GRIFFIN's, 'THE CONGREGATION' on the historic BLUE NOTE Record Label #1580 with Cover Art by ANDY WARHOL!!!!!!! Its also a rare example of Warhol's early illustration work commissioned by Blue Note Records. Now highly sought after for the Warhol cover, album features cool bop jazz by Johnny Griffin and band. Also highly sought after by collectors of Warhol album cover art as it has been out of print for many years. This rare and historic vinyl LP copy and jacket remains in near mint (NM) condition from The Keith Wigdor Collection.

Below is one of my FAVORITE of ALL RECORDS and this one I TREASURE because its the first 45 record by the one and only Goddess, NICO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This record was made in 1965 and released on the IMMEDIATE RECORD LABEL.
Its even more rare and special because it was produced and arranged and composed by JIMMY PAGE, before he was in THE YARDBIRDS and also LED ZEPPELIN!!! Jimmy Page was literally all over this record and it was also produced and arranged by ANDREW LOOG OLDHAM, who was the manager of THE ROLLING STONES at that time!

Below is an Extremely Rare Vinyl LP from 1970, FRANK ZAPPA ran his own record label, BIZARRE and he produced a great lineup of artists on his label, from ALICE COOPER to TIM BUCKLEY to THE GTO's, etc, etc, Zappa was extremely important in producing, as well as composing and performing back in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The name of this LP sampler is called "ZAPPED" and its a 1st pressing and VERY RARE!!!!!!!

Surrealism and Jazz go hand in hand, like a perfect marriage! The music of Jazz (and The Blues) have the Surrealist Essence & Spirit integrated right into the very heart of Surrealism. Below you will see a rare album set of 4 records in the "HOT JAZZ" by LIONEL HAMPTON on the Victor Hot Jazz Series Vol.3  HJ-3 Victor Album, with inside booklet by noted Jazz author and critic CHARLES EDWARD SMITH. This album set of the original 78's (yes, 78 LP Vinyl), is one of my favorite record sets in my entire collection, because of its History! I aquired this gem, along with 700 other ablum sets, (let me remind you that 78 album sets hold more than one LP, they can hold up to 10 plus LPs in the album) from a seller who sold this to me two years ago. I purchased 700 vintage Jazz and Blues 78 LPs from this seller who was selling this entire collection from his childhood friend's father's original LP collection. The story I was told, was that his friend's dad played for Harry James Big Band and his friend had aquired the collection passed down to him from his father, and that he wanted to sell it, since his dad passed away and he had no room for this massive 78 record collection. So, I gladly purchased the entire lot, since the LPs are SO RARE and HISTORIC, plus I really dig the music!!!

                                          Below are four more images from the same Vinyl LP

Below is an extremely rare vinyl LP that is still being sold by the people from AESTHETIC PRODUCTIONS. There only exists 500 pressings of this rare LP, (the three below images are of this record, I own the LP that is red colored) and its one of the longest and most anticipated vinyl LP soundtracks to come out in a long, long time. This is the soundtrack to the motion picture, "NEKROMANTIK", the 1987 gore cult film, directed by the great, JORG BUTTGEREIT. The music to this film was done by the composer, HERMANN KOPP, and finally after almost 20 years, the vinyl LP soundtrack is now available for sale, ONLY IN LIMITED PRESSING!!!! There is only 500 copies of this record and the colored version, which is the one I own, is even more rare. Once this sells out, the record, both the colored and non-colored vinyl will be HIGHLY COLLECTIBLE $$$$ Also, what makes this record more special to me, as an artist, an also a collector, is that the design of this record was done by my personal artist friend, JONATHAN CANADY, who is one of the most INTENSE artists and musicians on the scene today. His cover design is just perfect for this rare record. I am so happy to own it!!!!!! See below:

Below is an EXTREMELY RARE (and favorite of mine from my collection!)  Promotional 45 record "NOT FOR SALE" from THE GRATEFUL DEAD for their AUXOMOXOA LP on the WARNER BROTHERS/SEVEN ARTS Label. These particular 45s are SO HARD TO GET! Plus the fact that for Hardcore Grateful Dead on Vinyl Collectors (unlike the historic tapers, etc), this is a TREASURE to own in one's collection. Original Grateful Dead 1st pressings and also the notorious "WARNER BROTHERS: GREEN" Labels are Highly Sought after by the Rare Vinyl Collectors, and the WHITE LABEL NOT FOR SALE PROMOS are even more hard to come by and CHERISHED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Below is an very rare 78 record by MUDDY WATERS on the CHESS Label 1571. I am REALLY into collecting Rare Old Blues 78s Vinyl and most of all, on the HISTORIC CHESS Label, take a look at the Original Blue and White Logo, I just love it!!! MUDDY WATERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Many more uploads coming , please stay tuned and keep coming back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
