One holy grail of mine at the moment is:

Everything in the BYG/Actual series on vinyl. Originals. I probably won't get any originals because they'll cost too much money but I will certainly pick up the reissues. Although I've heard they aren't mastered from the original tapes and are semi-bootlegs. The couple I have sound decent enough to me.

Yes and Yes.

I assume you all know that Harmonia and Cluster LPs got reissued in 2006 or 2007, by the way ...

Aye, I've got Lunar Surface in the post to me. Seasons seems a little harder to find, on vinyl at least. Maybe that one wasn't reissued. I've seen an original copy for $70 and seeing as it's a triple lp and what with the weak dollar, I am a little bit tempted.

it has been, i saw it in ray's jazz, but when i came back to get it it had gone and they said they couldn't order it back in. so i got the CD from amazon.

I would cream my jeans if I was in the right place at the right time... with the right amount of money in my pocket and I saw Halve Maen by the Double Leopards on vinyl.

Also:
Harsh 70's Reality - Dead C
Walls Have Ears - SY

Both on vinyl... there are more but they don't spring mind at the moment.
Plus I'm at work and I have to be quick.... adios!

speaking of ray's jazz, i got halve maen there for £20, a bit pricey, but what can you do?

I have the Claude Delcloo one as an original. Pretty cool too. I couldn't afford the Don Cherry one ($80.00 13 years ago), but I did get the one by Freedom for cheap. Turned out it was cheap because it sucked. Sold it.
Got a reissue of the Gong one recently; it sounds good, but I had the same exact record with a different cover already and I found out the hard way when I threw it on...

yeah it's on the first floor of foyles bookshop on charing cross road, although they've cut down on selling psych/weird stuff of late. still, it's worth a look.
