Mines has to be my vinyl copies of GR edition Astroturf, Along Came a Spider and (when it arrives soon) No More Mr Nice Guy Live on blue vinyl will join it in the treasured category.

So what are yours? Rare music, toys, concert memorabilia, stage prop?

I keep a gallery of some of my favourite items.

You can check it out here if you fancy...

An original Straight Records vinyl edition of "Pretties For You" Gatefold cover!
With a "Zapped" Advert in a B&W sleeve.

That is an impressive vinyl collection (amongst other things)...A Fistful of Alice seems to be the hardest of all to come by. I have been on your site before having a nosey.

Yeah i settled on the Warner versions of the first albums just to get my collection complete but I would like to go back and get the Straight versions at some point...very cool

Don't have anything too rare to be honest. It'd probably be the Japanese version of A Fistful of Alice.

I am desperate to get that album on vinyl.

Postman has just dropped of vinyl copies of Welcome 2 My Nightmare, Live in Switzerland (Montreux) and No More Mr Nice Guy Live. All still sealed....They won't remain that way long though, some beer and tunes this evening

Probably my mint condition copy of ‘me Alice’
However, on the dirty diamonds tour, during a meet and greet, I had Alice sign it, he signed it
‘To Phil, your pal, Alice Cooper’
Rendering it both priceless (to me) and now worthless at the same time!!! Haha!!!

I had the B$B tour book, the Bob Greene book, a promo of Reflected/Living, original PFY and EA, bunch of autographs, Madhouse Rock tee, quad 8 track of MOL, magazines, just tons of stuff...for some reason I threw it all away. I guess I quit collecting.

Not spectacular, but the signed Eyes of AC cd is something I cherish

Sorry to hear that. But, who has the ability to play any 8-Track now? Much less a Quad? I gave all of my 8-tracks away to a co-worker that bought a '67 Mustang for his son that came with an 8-Track player. Approx. 40 years ago.

the one album that I had Alice sign when I met him at a convention

In no particular order:
- School Days 2 LP set
- Love's A Loaded Gun CD single (gun shaped sleeve)
- B$B first pressing mint condition
- The McFarlane Stage Figure that came out in 2000, still in its box.

and then some...

Mine are a copy of 'Puke On Apiece Of Apple Pie' with each side written in ink, an autographed picture of Micheal Bruce that was signed to me with a 'Billion Dollar Babies' plectrum and another picture signed by Michael, Dennis and Neal with an unused ticket from a 'Billion Dollar Babies' show in San Diego. Oh, and a first Japanese pressing of 'Love It To Death.' Great stuff.

- Glen Buxton check signed by Alice, Glen, Michael, Neal and Dennis
- (2) unused tickets from Three Rivers Stadium (Pittsburgh 1972)
- “Easy Action“ (blue Bizarre label)
- Spiders original business card
- “School’s Out” Test Pressing
- “Trash” demo tape

A dog eared BILLION DOLLAR BABY paperback, some autographed CD sleeves, a photo of Alice with Me and my wife (Separate photos) and would have to say the top one for Me is the photo of Me with Neal, Michael and Dennis that is autographed by the three of them and hanging on the wall.

Managed to get hold of "A Fistful of Alice" on vinyl, although there are some far more impressive shout outs here

Original School’s Out single and ACG group poster from the Whistle Test. Both bought the day after first seeing them on Top of The Pops using all my remaining holiday pocket money. Hearing Luney Tune for the first time that afternoon was ground shaking. That’s the 24hrs which changed everything for me.

Got a few bits and pieces but nothing else comes close to the impact, memories and value of these items.

I also had an autographed and personalized Rock Rolls On lp I bought in 1983.

I was going through another nervous breakdown at the time. It happens.

Do you mean a bank check or paycheck to Glen?
