Did you ever kick yourself for not buying something? What about something you owned and then sold? After collecting for 50 years, I have a few in these categories. Bet you do, too! So, what are your "Ones That Got Away?"
Minus Stems and Seeds-Sons of Champlin is the title that I most regret not buying. I only saw it once. The Sons are a cult band from San Fran. A hippie jazz/rock outfit featuring the very soulful Bill Champlin. Champlin gets my vote for the most underrated person in rock. This title was on the Sons' own label. I only saw it once and was a bit afraid at 15 to bring it into the house. The cover photo depicted the title. I'm one of the few cult followers of this band in Chicago. Yet, Champlin had joined the group Chicago in 1982. He also co-wrote "After the Love Is Gone" and "Turn Your Love Around." I've never heard this LP and would love to own one. It is extremely rare.
The Beatles Mono LP Box is the one I owned and sold. I only saw it once. I bought it and liked it, but already owned the blue Stereo Lp box. I had a great relationship with the store and returned it for $100 of store credit. It was a maroon English box. Unlike the mono CD box, it DID include mono "foldover" mixes of Abbey Road and Let It Be. I bet it's now worth nearly as much as my MoFi Beatles "The Collection" LP box.
