MY (theoretical) WANT LIST!

I would only buy these in person (as I've always done whenever I've added to my collection); either, if my local vintage music store had secured an estate sale haul...or if I was lucky to find any one of them "in the wild" (which: was far more easy to do prior until, around, the mid-2000s).
