Thread Name: What is your rarest/most valued CD/LP?
Subject: RE: What is your rarest/most valued CD/LP?
I gave my copy of Noah's Ark Trap to Ship Dawdler a year or so back

Indeed he did, and a fine and generous act it was.

I borrowed my mother's copies of Amaranth and For as many as will in the summer of 2005, saying that I'd put them on CD for her. I didn't have much experience with ripping and burning at the time, so I still hadn't done anything about it when she had a stroke in October and went into hospital. After Christmas she was discharged into a residential home, mobile but a bit confused. I got the various bits of audio hardware & software sorted out, and ripped Amaranth - to two 20-minute files - in February. In March she had another stroke and never came round.

SoAmaranth those two albums - the "Anthems in Eden" suite on Amaranth in particular - have meant an awful lot to me.
