One day in 1966, I was mooching around in Bandbox (a long-gone record shop opposite the market hall) when I came across a box of singles marked down to 1/6 from their usual price of 6/8. One that caught my eye was called Liza Jane by Davie Jones & the King Bees. Decided to take a gamble and bought it unheard. Got it home, bunged it on the Dansette, dismissed it as garbage and promptly chucked it. It now turns out that it was Bowie's first ever record and it's worth £1,000 in mint condition. Doh!

What was your lost gem, Mr C?
