What's on your list of Musical Holy Grails?

What (Physical) musical recordings do you really, really want to own but can't find/afford/be bothered to order off Amazon?

Probably the Beatles' records in the original mono. What little I've heard of the mono mixes has always sounded better than the stereo ones.
For instance:

All those absurdly rare Residents singles and EPs.
I own several of their rarer records, but the really nose-bleedy stuff has always been out of my price range.

I only have a couple of needs at present. When you say "can't find/afford", I occasionally see a copy of these on eBay and elsewhere but I will not pay £20 or more for a second hand CD.
One is Living My Life by Grace Jones.
It's one of two Grace Jones albums I just cannot get my hands on on CD at the right price. All her others have been available quite readily. I do have the standard LP and picture disc though!
The other is Love Explosion by Tina Turner - which we have reviewed on this very forum.
It's the only studio album I haven't got by her on any format. I occasionally see it for sale in Italy for ridiculous amounts of money, and with a cracked case and such.
