As many of us are probably of an age where our best years are behind us. Then looking at the hike in the price of rare 45's that maybe generated by long term collectors dipping into their pension pots to buy rarities at auction. I got to thinking about bucket lists. It's not just about what you want, but why you want it, the stories behind the chase, and the joy of finally holding it in your hands. From the grand and super rare to the deeply personal and sentimental, every "thing" has its place here. What's on your ultimate ownership bucket list, and what does it mean to you?

Been there myself, now a recovering vinyl junkie lol. Something to consider, sell them if the money is going to be life changing i.e. pay the mortgage off etc. If not, keep them, remember the journey and enjoy the memories 👍

Very sad to read the news of the passing Brian. Our sincere condolences to all family and friends. R.I.P.

Thank you for the music and your influence. RIP

Chris contributed so much over the years, YMCA record fairs, magazines, the Bear cellar soul and 60's nights. I remember buying some really good records off him over the years. Mushroom promotions was a new one to me, some big names on the flyer. Thank you for sharing.

Albert Terrace rings a bell. Was that Chris Savory old address?

I could be wrong but I seem to remember Soul Sam playing this one

It may have already been mentioned but this one I remember being a massive instrumental - Teddy Vann - Theme From Coloredman.

Julius Wechter & The Baja Marimba Band – Along Comes Mary, this was one that comes to mind. Then off to Wigan baths👍

So sad to read the news about the passing of Ted. It was always a pleasure to be in his company. He was a great DJ, collector and fellow soulie. You could always count on his support and he never let us down when he DJ'd regularly at Bidds all nighters and Stafford soul nights. A true gentleman. May you rest in peace 🙏.

Very sad to hear the passing of a legendary DJ. RIP Our sincere condolences to all family and friends 🙏

Shocked to hear the news, our sincere condolences to all family and friends. R.I.P Kev, gone too soon

Very sad news, our sincere condolences to all the family and friends. RIP

Fond memories of Carl playing back to back Phelectron 45's. Great respect for Carl and Maria, I really hope it reaches its maximum.

A few photos from The Bluejays Rave on, 50's 60's show

Gone far too soon. Our sincere condolences to all family and friends RIP

Absolutely stunning, great photos

An attempt at capturing the beauty of nature.

Evening from the bridge in Conwy

Complete amateur and no way in the league of some of the other great posts, but thought these maybe worth a share

Get well soon Mark, you are in our thoughts and prayers.

There have already been some great albums mentioned, one of the very first albums I owned and still a nice is album is Jackie Edwards – Put Your Tears Away
