In a perfect world, MODVL004. Also known as the original, Australian version of The Avalanches' - Since I Left You. This is certainly one of the best albums of the last 15 years, and in my opinion, of all time. If you haven't heard of it, this is a masterful collage of a record, constructed from at least 3500 separate vinyl samples. It's an immersive, hour long journey that I never get tired of. This version of SILY is special because all versions afterward contained missing or replaced samples, due to copyright issues. It's very rare now, most copies I see sell for $200 or more. But I intend to buy my own copy someday.
