hah, unless there's something cool in my pile of inherited 45s... i don't really have any rare records. all my shit is reissues ... or bargain bin caliber.

except for some weirdo french beatles bootleg my parents gifted me ages ago. i don't think it's actually rare because it sounds like some of their hamburg shit. but i don't know anything about it. meh.

I know! That's why I'm glad she's in Machete. She needs to stick to some crazy shiz. I wish she'd just do insane horror flicks.

Really. It's time for her to drop any dreams she had of ever being taken seriously and sign on with Seduction Cinema to do some lesbian vampire porn! Come on Lindsay - listen to your fans!!!

is machete a movie about the guy from mariachi?
the guy who was the uncle in the spykids? his charater is machete right?

atsonicpark 08.21.2009 03:34 PM

probably some stupid noise record I got in a trade that's worth a billion dollars now

eternal 08.21.2009 03:58 PM

i dont have too many rare ones, i guess slowdive's just for a day would be the most valuable

d~rek 08.21.2009 04:02 PM

Misfits - Bullet 7" (2nd pressing)
Crimpshrine/Jawbreaker 7"

Death & the Maiden 08.21.2009 06:51 PM

I have the Flying Nun 25th Anniversary boxset. But that's not a single record, so I guess it's Golden Days: When Giants Walked the Earth by the Laughing Clowns. It's a ten track compilation that's out of print, worth about $50. I paid $17 for it.

notyourfiend 08.21.2009 07:01 PM

I don't know what the rarest record I own is, but I'll tell you what took the longest to get a hold of - Hole's My Body the Hand Grenade. After breaking my original copy, it took me well over three years to find another one.

gmku 08.21.2009 07:13 PM

I don't like thinking of my records as rarities. I probably have some things that are rare but that's not why I value them. I value them for the things that those early issues have that reissues don't--best reproduction of the packaging, best sound, etc. Or because there are tracks that aren't available on something else.

At the same time, if there's a great reissue that accurately reproduces everything about the original, I'm just as happy with that. And there have been a lot of those in the past few years from labels like 4 Men with Beards, Sundazed, et al.

of course I'd like that. But Mean Girls and Georgia Rule are good too. SO she can do whatever as far as I'm concerned.

pinkstation 08.21.2009 08:21 PM

i have a 2LP spoken word album of kerouac reading some of hims poems

noisereductions 08.21.2009 09:14 PM

i have this, it's not too hard to find. also have the ask for it EP and the retard girl 7''

SYRFox 08.22.2009 03:51 AM

I don't have too many rare things ... So I guess that Mahjongg Tour EP handmade CD-R I bought at their gig a few weeks ago, which is so rare you can't even find information about it on the Internet.
Also, the autoproducted version of the first album by Gomm, a french band. It was re-released on a bigger label (PIAS) one month after its release, but I bought it when it was first released.
Also I should have Campfire Songs by Animal Collective pretty soon.

sarramkrop 08.22.2009 04:32 AM

Phlegmscope 08.22.2009 06:44 AM

I have bunch of stuff that's technically rare, but also something very few would buy, or know.

Of the stuff someone might pay for something... Propably the dead c LPs, some amrep stuff, loop's double lp (not the reissue) and the sunn/boris 3LP set I bought during a drunken night earlier this year.

I don't have anything properly rare that goes for huge amounts of money.

Toilet & Bowels 08.22.2009 07:16 AM

i've got
Double Leopards - Halve Maen 2LP
The 4 Fushitsusha CDs that came out on the Tokuma label
Magik Markers - I Trust My Guitar
Teenage Panzerkorps first 7"
Circle's first 7", which i've seen priced at exactly 100 times more than what I paid for it
Sun Ra - Astro Black
The Dead C - Operation of The Sonne
A few Charalambides LPs and some Christina Carter stuff
various Marcia Bassett releases although this more obscure than rare, but i love them and replacing them would be impossible

demonrail666 08.22.2009 07:26 AM

loads of old jungle 12"s that seem to worth loads now

Toilet & Bowels 08.22.2009 07:33 AM

also i've got a bunch of Harry Pussy rarities, i.e. Let's Build A Pussy, Live 10", Vigilance

it's on again this morning. It's definitely one of my favorite comedies. I've seen it so many times. It's like comfort food.

i think the rarest HP record i've got is this one:
Wreck Small Cocks on Expensive Pussies collaboration w/Cock E.S.P. (1998, Freedom From) Lathe cut 8" edition of 30


probably the record worth the most that i own is an original Propeller from Guided By Voices.

off the top of my head, here are some other rarities:

Gate - Julian Dashper Experience 2x7" lathe
This Kind of Punishment - Beard of Bees (original screened jacket)
Bill Direen - pretty much all of his LPs and singles
Hyphen-Smythe/Say Yes To Apes - all of their records
Skullflower - Form Destroyer and Birthdeath 12"
Halo of Flies - Snapping Black Roscoe Bottles 7"
Sonic Youth - walls have ears 2LP and stick me donna magic momma (only the single disc version though), also the Russian single disc version of _Daydream Nation_
Big Black - sound of impact
all the Hood singles except for the flexi

i've saw that on ebay once, and forgot to bid and it didn't end up going for very much, i was quite annoyed, although i've heard mp3s of it and it's kind of the least essential HP record in terms of music. in the unlikely event of ever seeing a copy again i'd still buy it though.

Phlegmscope 08.22.2009 12:46 PM

Does that have something to do with wreck small speakers on expensive stereos.... (or whatever it was)?

I don't know if this is rare, but it's quite irreplacable to me.
Black creek / Both ends burning 7" by the terminals

The song black creek is in my top3 of best songs of all time.

Florya 08.23.2009 01:13 AM

I guess the rarest thing I have is the Obtainers/Magazine Spies split 7" on Dance Fool Dance.
Any Cure completists out there would give their left testicle for it.
