The Collector’s Room: original pressings, rarities and collector’s items

In short: The Collector’s Room holds our special pieces from €300 – currently 254 records. Here you’ll find sought-after first pressings and rare editions, among others.

Why do some records cost more than €300?

Often several things come together: a small first run, a sought-after label or edition, good condition – and collectors looking for exactly this copy. A well-kept original is often hard to get for years. Thomas puts it like this:

“It takes time to collect. You find one – and then it’s another ten years until you find a better copy. It’s a forever thing to collect.”

What to look out for

  • Condition: where we give it, record and sleeve are listed separately – if anything’s missing, ask us. What the abbreviations mean is explained on “Grading explained”.
  • Pressing: “first pressing” only appears where it is marked. How to recognise one is explained on “How to spot a first pressing”.
  • Questions about a copy: use the “Ask about this copy” button on any record page – we’ll look at that exact copy for you.
