What is the rarest or hard to find vinyl record you own or have owed?

I sold a Maynard Fergeson's The Ballard Sounds of Maynard Fergeson a while back.

UK pressing and the studio and master were destroyed in fire.

don't if the following are rare but in my vinyl collection, i have:

Jackson 5's ABC
Sesame Street Live/Monsters/Muppet Show albums
Herb Alpert & Tijuana Brass' Lonely Bull and Whipped Cream and Other Delights
Reading, PA's own Frank Scott's ...Never Too Old To Dream

also have a few 45s from Motown Records by Stevie Wonder and Jackson 5

the only original and master copy of Her Eyes by James "JackRabbit" Martin - he was a local underground dj (when House music was big in Chicago) and my fiance 17yrs ago. this song was exclusively written for me before his sudden death. i've only heard it once when they were mixing the demo at the studio - haven't played it since (don't have a record player) ...probably never will.

All of the original Beatles albums, including their White album. My father purchased these when they came out; I was lucky to receive them.

As a young child, I grew up in the military and a couple of older girls gave me a portable Zenith record player with a lot of 45 records.

Years later, I was cleaning my room and threw some of those records away. One of them was the early Beatles who did backup work for a singer by the name of Tony Sheridan. They also recorded the old songs, and the record I owned was called "My Bonney". That record was worth $1,000.00! I could have kicked myself in the pants at 15 years old when I was cleaning my room!

Hmmm... I think the rarest records I have are by local (Toronto, Canada) groups that were only released in Toronto (to my knowledge)... but there are a few others...

These include:

Cornflakes and Icecream by The Lords of London
Night in Rusty Armour by Peter and Gordon
My Name is Jack / There is a Man by Manfred Man
Various soundtracks from Disney (Lady & the Tramp, E.T., Snow White)
Sister Therisa's East River Orphanage by Faboulous Farquars
Greensleeves by Mantovani

... there are others, but I'd have to go looking
