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.

BREAKING NEWS: I've just found out that this is being re-issued on vinyl and CD in November for the first time since 1979!
£10.99 on CD - I can just about afford that. Though it'll probably be in a card sleeve rather than a plastic jewel case.

Arn't jewel cases the invention of the very beelzebub himself?

They're an iconic design of the early 80s.
Though they do have a tendency to break all too easily, as we all know.

Can't you just stick yourvown jewels on one you've already got? You can get fake pearls etc by the metre very cheaply on Amazon.
