I was picking through my meagre collection and off to the side i have a few sealed albums that I wanted to keep for later. Because we’re moving, and on a whim, i decided to check a few on discogs. Was pleasantly surprised that a few of my sealed albums are worth a bit. But i nearly fell off the chair when i checked this album.

I bought it many years ago because I knew Jorja Smith’s uncle through work. I was going to get it signed but never did. Just discovered how much it’s worth!!

That said, I doubt anyone is looking for it! But a sealed, mint copy is nice to have!

What records have you got that you’ve been shocked are worth more than you thought possible?

Like the title says, I have an m6 from 1988 (1.7m serial number) that I’ve owned for about 15 years. has a 50mm 1.4 summilux lens. It’s a good bit of kit and shoots fine, but I just find myself not using it much any more. I shoot a lot of digital and tend to use my Hasselbald 500 when I want to shoot film.

I’ve been thinking to maybe try and trade it for a digital back for the Hassy but they’re like hens teeth in the UK. I do have a digital Leica I shoot with. I just don’t need the camera and could maybe put the money towards some other gear. Or I could just hang on to it and see how it goes.

What do you do with your kit when you find yourself not using it? Does that it’s time to sell and move on?

I’ve always loved my Salnotes. Tried a lot of others but kept coming back to them. Tempotec V1 is amazing. Black Pearl for when swapping to iPhone. I really don’t see myself moving away from this set up!
