What’s your favorite “less than pristine” item in your collection?

Mine is, without question, the OG pressing of Pink Floyd’s “Dark Side of the Moon” that I inherited from my uncle when he gave his collection to me.

The amount of weed broken up on the back of this jacket, the number of joints rolled, defies comprehension.

He’s a big reason I love music as much as I do. I grew up next door to him and his house was always filled with music. He played in bands most of his life, and he’s the reason I picked up a bass guitar and started a shitty punk band in high school. He’s also the guy that took me out of my parents house (to go buy an amp) the day after I got busted smoking pot the first time. He calmed a stressful situation and was exactly the person a teenager needed to be around that day. He was, and still is, the best uncle a guy could ask for.
