hmm.

i guess the rarest album i own is msi - tight.. but it's scratched a lot.. i got it when i came out..

i also have slowdive- just for a day, which i think is in print again? but for a while it went for a lot. same for drive like jehu - yank crime. i got an original copy of that for $3. but it was reissued so my copy's probably not worth anything.

i had flipper - generic but sold it for $40

[pantophobia]

so how have your searching been going? rabbits with teeth been blocking your path?

have since picked up Metalux's Florescent Tower (a present from Jennthebenn), Hanatarash 4, and just this morning got Sun City Girls - Torch of the Mystics in the Mail!!!!, also in the recent have picked up more recent grails like Boris - Flood, Sonic Death among other

[pantophobia]

Spirit Caravan - Jug Fulla Sun
Cows - Cunning Stunts
Sonny Sharrock - Space Ghost Coast to Coast Sdtrk EP

[RdTv]

I try to use the policy of never making a list whilst digging. That is unles I'm going to the majestic mystical land dripping of rare and out of print-great condition records. Unless I make that journey, I usually just keep a lookout for Jazz, Krautrock, Funk, and Psych.

[Rob Instigator]

My holy grail, now that I have Polvo's "Celebrate the New Dark Age EP" on three 7" vinyls, is Sonic Youth's THE WALLS HAVE EARS

i need it. i want it.

[ZEROpumpkins]

Uhh given that Australia isn't exactly a hotbed for even the most slightly obscure bands, my list may sound relatively tame:
Polvo - Shapes (on Vinyl)
Superchunk - Here's Where the Strings Come In
Big Black - Atomizer
Unwound - The Future of What
Tortoise - S/T
Don Cab - All albums

er, australian post-punk & noise rock?

[ZEROpumpkins]

Not really my cup of tea, Australian music.

[Death & the Maiden]

The Verlaines - Hallelujah All the Way Home, Bird-Dog, Juvenilia
Haunted Henschel - Child, Deep Inside Her Bathrooms
Fimbulwinter - Servants of Sorcery
Ed Kuepper - everything

Australian music doesn't have just one kind of sound. If you look hard enough, you'll definitely find something you like.

[ZEROpumpkins]

Nah

Sometimes I feel like my record collection is complete, then I remember things I'd still love to find. I guess this will always be the case.

Anyway, I'd still love to be able to walk into the store one day and find these things on wax:

SY's Confusion is Sex, Bad Moon, and Sister LPs.

Stones boots from their MSG 72 gig. (I have recordings on CD-R, and one side of Nasty Music is from the gig, but there are awesome LPs devoted just to that concert that I'd love to get my hands on.)

Stones Ger Yer Leeds Lungs Out LP (or equivalent under another title. Again I have CD-R copies, but there's nothing like having the original LP.)

The Stone Roses 1st on LP. (I have the CD)

Ride - Nowhere on LP (I have the CD)

The Feelies - Only Life and Time for a Witness on LP (or CD). I have a beat up copy of Time for a Witness I'd love to replace.

A mint, sealed copy of the Beatles' white album from 1968 with a numbered cover. Yeah, right.

[gmku]

Oh, yeah, and....

The Spain release of Sticky Fingers on LP, the cover with the fingers coming out the can.

A first issue copy of The Modern Lovers on Beserkley label.

Dylan's Vol 4 Live 1966 album on LP.

Exile in Guyville on LP.

If by spiders you mean Lime Spiders, my friend is getting me one of their CD's (hopefully). He's the guitarist's son.

[ZEROpumpkins]

Nah different band, The Spiders are a blue moutains band that don't sound much like Tumbleweed or Radio Birdman. Also Zeropumpkin we've had all those albums other than the Polvo one on vinyl at some stage at the store I work in.

Also Toilet & Bowels great list!!!

[ZEROpumpkins]

I'm confused, Onani Nic. Everytime I stock search your website, I can't find anything I'm looking for :/

[Sheriff Rhys Chatham]

Unwound's first album.
Then one fucking day I'm in Portland and I find it used for $8 but I had no cash because I had spent it to get into a local show earlier.
