The 19 most wanted dance releases on vinyl, according to Discogs
While some are household names, others might pique your attention to give them a listen – certainly, your plants might be keen on listening to at least one item in our round-up of 19. I myself am probably going to look up some of the more 'obscure' titles that people are seeking.
We've included the year of release and, if possible, the catalogue number of the specific release in question – failing that, we've included the barcode instead so you can verify if indeed the copy you have in your hand is the one that people are seeking on Discogs.
The only question then is: if you do have one, do you dare part with it?
1 . LFO – LFO (WAP 5, 1990)
A foundational track in the history of UK electronic music, LFO's self-titled single LFO is wanted by 7,138 Discogs users, cementing its legendary status. Released in 1990 as one of the very first offerings on Warp Records label, this track by the Leeds duo pioneered the distinctive "bleep and bass" sound. LFO is renowned for its devastatingly deep sub-bass and relentless rhythmic drive, becoming a massive club anthem. The original 12-inch with its iconic purple sleeve is a highly sought-after collector's item, representing a pivotal moment in the evolution of techno and IDM. 🔍 7138 | Getty Images/Discogs Photo Sales
2 . Mort Garson – Mother Earth's Plantasia (H-101, 1976)
A true cult classic with a charmingly eccentric concept, Mort Garson's Mother Earth's Plantasia is wanted by 7,198 Discogs users, making it a surprisingly popular entry on this list. Released in 1976, this album of whimsical electronic compositions was famously "warm earth music for plants... and the people who love them," originally available only with a houseplant or mattress purchase. Composed entirely on a Moog synthesizer, its surprisingly intricate and melodic arrangements predated ambient music, with original pressings now highly coveted pieces of musical oddity and electronic history. 🔍 7198 | Sacred Bones/Discogs Photo Sales
3 . Nujabes – Metaphorical Music (HOLP-002, 2018)
A cornerstone of the lo-fi hip-hop and instrumental jazz-hip-hop genres, Nujabes' debut album, Metaphorical Music, is a highly coveted vinyl, with 7,267 Discogs users eagerly wanting this limited edition reissue. Originally released in 2003, this album introduced the world to the Tokyo-born producer's unique fusion of intricate jazz samples, soulful melodies, and laid-back hip-hop beats. Its mellow yet intricate production, combined with its profound emotional depth, has cultivated a dedicated global following, ensuring the persistent demand for Nujabes' work on vinyl. 🔍 7267 | Instagram/Discogs Photo Sales
4 . C418 – Minecraft Volume Alpha (GI-243 LP, 2015)
Perhaps one of the most surprising entries on a "most wanted" dance vinyl list, C418's Minecraft Volume Alpha commands the attention of 7,442 Discogs users. Released in 2015 by Ghostly International, this vinyl brought the iconic soundtrack of the world-dominating video game Minecraft to a physical format. Daniel Rosenfeld crafted a uniquely minimalist, ambient, and melancholic score that became synonymous with the game's expansive world, making this limited edition green translucent vinyl a highly coveted item for gamers and ambient music enthusiasts alike. 🔍 7442 | Bandcamp/Discogs Photo Sales

Hunter just dropped the perfect cowboy boot wellies for festival season
With plenty of major festivals still to come this summer, a good pair of wellies is essential and Hunter just dropped the perfect cowboy boot ones to complete your festival 'fits Whilst some of the major festivals have already been and gone, there's still plenty more heading our way this summer with Leeds and Reading Festival, Boomtown, Bloodstock and Creamfields still to come. That means there's still plenty of opportunities to wear your favourite festival gear, and a great pair of wellies is an absolute non-negotiable. With cowboy boots still dominating as one of the top trending footwear styles of summer, it's no surprise that many people were planning on wearing theirs to their next festival. That's why Hunter's new l Represent X Hunter collaboration is an absolute must, combining country with countryside for a stylish take on the classic wellies. Keeping all the waterproof, mud-proof and outdoor ready technical features that Hunter wellies are known for, the Represent X Hunter boots swap the traditional wellington boot look for a much more country-fied design that Beyonce herself would be proud of. They feature a low block heel, with raised stitching-inspired designs up the sides, a braided effect up the sides and even pull on tabs on the sides. The only difference between these boots and your usual cowboy boots is that they're made entirely from natural rubber, with a matte finish. There are also two different styles to choose from, and both boots come in a choice of black or khaki green, so you can pair them with all of your festival 'fits. The Represent X Hunter Original Short Boots are priced at £250 and have a mid-shin length and are ideal if you're planning on wading through mud or expecting more rainfall. Alternatively the Represent X Hunter Play Short Boots are more affordable at £220, and have an ankle-length shaft that's great if you aren't planning on tackling deep water and mud but that will still keep your feet dry. Elsewhere at Schuh, you can pick up a pair of Juju Jellies' Dolly boots for £40, which come in a black and white colourway, with stitching details and contrasting panels for that true western-inspired look. Meanwhile at Debenhams, the Absolute Footwear Waterproof Slip On Cowboy Wellington Boots have been slashed from £30.99 to £25, and come in both black and leopard print. However, we're absolutely expecting to see the Represent X Hunter boots everywhere this festival season, with the beauty of them being that they'll still be wearable long after you've packed up your tent and headed home. Perfect for drizzly autumn weather and even chilly snow, you can wear them for everything from dog walks to work commutes in the autumn and winter months, making sure you get plenty of wear out of them.

Ozzy on Vinyl: 15 vinyl releases that sold for huge amounts on Discogs
1 . Never Say Die (1978) - £101.24 This entry stands out immediately as a US Test Pressing. Test pressings are incredibly rare, typically produced in quantities of just 5 to 10 copies for quality control and approval before mass production begins. They often come with plain labels and generic sleeves, their value lying purely in their scarcity and their status as the very first records off the press. Never Say Die! holds significant historical weight as it was the final Black Sabbath studio album to feature Ozzy Osbourne on vocals before his initial departure in 1979, making this test pressing a rare piece of heavy metal history. | Getty Images/Discogs
