What's the rarest record, CD or tape you own /mu/? Either by value or by how many exist.
>not having all your music digitally
>>51198707
Nirvana - Hormoaning EP (SEALED)
my band's cassette, pressing of 25
:^)
rly though i'm not sure what the most limited thing i have is. the Live & Acoustic Mac Demarco tape is somewhat not everywhere so maybe that, or the QOTSA s/t cassette
>inb4 Godspeed You! Black Emperor - All Lights Fucked on the Hairy Amp Drooling
The Spent Poets - S/T
there aren't many of this in exist
![1963111[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/ziJNCWI.jpg "1963111[1].jpg")
ltd 40 copies
>>51198707
Godspeed You Black Emperor! CD bootleg, which I believe is a combination of two other bootlegs
It is also my favorite release by them
a cassette of a local central jersey grindcore band from around 2004. one of like 50 i think
my parents' collection of +100 random cds from 70-90s
because it's the only thing I can say
definitely my Trees Community record, only 4 people have it on discogs and the value goes on average around $150
yours, OP?
It was expensive, but I'm so excited to have my very own Crosley to play my dad's old records.
I don't have much physical music, but I have this Screaming Females/Tenement Split 7. The special orange vinyl version, of which there were only around 100 of. The online store messed up my order at first so they gave me an orange version for my troubles.
I found an old Genesis live concert bootleg 12'' LP in a box of old records the other day. It's in mint condition. Oddly, the label said "Gene Chandler - I Can Take Care of Myself (disc jockey advance copy)"
I have absolutely no idea how rare it is but I couldn't find any information on Genesis bootlegs. It seemed kind of unusual.
>>51198913
NOOO WTF
DONT DO THAT DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT THAT RECORD IS
>>51198783
srsly? where'd you cop that? and could you go ahead and scan the cover in greater than 500x500 res -.-
>>51198707
I have a single pressing of a track I made onto acetate.
you only get so many plays out of it before it ceases to work.
considering its a 1-off, and only has about 10 plays left in it, pretty rare
>>51198707
Signed Strawberry Jam and signed ITAOTS
>>51198913
Even thought I know this is fake it still hurts like a bitch. Well done.
My copy of this has Brilliant Trees pressed on side one. I can't find anything on it anywhere, so I assume it might be the only one in existence.
Two LPs by a german traditional folk band.
Very small town demographic of fans.
Picked up by my mother sometime in the 80s perhaps.
i have one of the false priest cassettes, ltd 500. i also have a cool electric company spidey super stories record. i just looked it up and it's not that rare but it's cool as fuck. it's narrated by morgan freeman.
>>51198707
Not much, but it's mine
>>51199225
that's the spirit
05 fuck em
Titles - Dirt Bell 100 pressed
Titus Andronicus - The Airing of Grievances 500 pressed
Not worth much
Original pressing of Agaetis
>>51198913
he melted it down pressed it into a record!
>>51198992
You stupid fucking moron, don't you know that it's a fake.
THe fucking children on this board. Why am I so much smarter than you.
Pario Marty - The Black Hole of Fun
Real Estate lead singer's only solo release pre forming the band. Only 25 copies made, I have two of them,
according to discogs, this has the highest average and max sale price out of my collection
first pressing w/ bonus disc
>>51198913
as much as i hate crosley, that is a cool looking design
>>51199323
fucking smart dude, always best to have an extra copy in case anything happens. I know XVX refuses to play his copy of ExMil until he gets another.
>>51199300
>he doesn't know about the repress
>>51199064
the only other record i can remember where that happened was for aphex twin. some other artists ended up on one side of one of his albums.
it's probably worth quite a lot
>>51199386
Yeah I have never played my second copy, it could be blank for all I know lolz but that cassette is fucking beautiful. Definitely the pride of my collection
Chelsea Wolfes' prayer for the unborn cd (limited 500) it's disk graphic is so choice and emma ruth rundles' some heavy ocean clear vinyl with an autograph, those are my prized possessions and never fails to shine a small beam of hope through a dense fog of lethargy and depression
probably Shackles of Man Measured Time by Spine Scavenger simply due to how many exist. It's not worth all that much though.
>>51199405
>>51199064
how the fuck would you know something like that
assuming many were pressed, how many would go by before someone noticed something was wrong? probably more than fucking one, don't you think
and who would pay money for something like that, just because it's a 'rare' deformity doesn't mean it's worth anything
>>51199064
Tyler?
>>51199527
Collectors love weird fuck ups like this, you'd be really surprised at the amounts people fork out for even the smallest mistakes. A mistake like an entirely different album appearing on one side of a record is not unheard of but a rarity, so there are probably 10 or more copies like it before they figured out they fucked up.
One example would be The Smiths Hatful Of Hollow where the tracklisting had a missing dot between tracks, it fetches a ridiculous amount just for that one little thing.
the most valuable thing I have on discogs is The Joy Formidable The Big Roar boxset. Had no idea it could sell for so much.
Death Grips - Jenny Death - Promo CD
Um.. Caddywhompus lathe cut of The Weight, one out of 35? I've been offered here and there on Discogs for it so it's somewhat in demand. Apart from that, most VALUABLE things are stupid shit like the Perfect Pussy 'blood' box set, Exmilitary, I dunno... the Books boxset? Nothing super crazy rare.
I have an Exmilitary tape too, and a YYU timetimetime&time tape, uh.. Evenings - Lately? A couple /25 tapes like Nouns - Still Bummed. I'm supposed to have a White Coyote S/T tape coming that's out of 9
I dunno, I feel like I'm coming up short. I don't do a lot of vintage
>>51199620
Kek, I have one of those Smiths pressings. I went to a local record store which had one and they were selling it for $200 just because it had that little misprint.
>>51199717
Oh, and by the way, this thing makes ATLF look like Thriller.
There is virtually no information on it online.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FAQF0PU5Fx0
Here's a new track by them, the stuff on Ham is 1000 times better, and sounds like some blackened post-punk from fucking 1988.
>>51199837
yeah, the most expensive records I own aren't even that rare
There's Fiona's Idler Wheel, Regina Spektor's Begin to Hope, and m83's colored Hurry Up We're Dreaming, but nothing outrageously hard to find if you have the right amount to spare
>>51199009
Ebay.
And yeah I've been thinking about it but I lack a scanner.
Gonna scan it anyways.
>>51199882
>the stuff on Hold*
lmao
>>51199975
Well Discogs tells me my post valuable things (besides what I mentioned) are The Shaggs, Jimmy Eat World 'Bleed American', The Stills, Neon Indian (???), The Space Project, Tobacco's latest, Psychic Love Damage.. Now, Now 'Neighbors'? Com Truise 'In Decay'? I dunno what the fuck is going on.
I have an original pressing of doppelgänger by fall of Troy on vinyl.. Something like 200 pressings. Not really my kind of music anymore but it's cool to have
I have one of themelvins (a) senile animal albums handmade by Buzz and his wife, signed and numbered 45 of 50.
I won a test pressing of this album on Monday. It'll be my first test pressing, really stoked to get it. He is one of my favorite artists.
>>51200128
>jammy eet world
o i am kek
>>51199485
i have it on clear and blue :3
>>51200128
Any original or early presses of The Shaggs are very rare and valuable, it's hardly surprising.
>>51200239
Hey I like a couple of their albums, it's high school shit that never went away. Like Circa Survive and shit. That Bleed American thing was a triple colored LP deal that became kinda sought after. They just re-release Futures and some older stuff too so I had to cop those too.
Todos Tus Muertos - Todos Tus Muertos
>>51200306
there's nothing wrong with that, I have a copy of Bring Me the Horizon's Count Your Blessings, Metro Station's s/t, and Owl City's Ocean Eye (well erm... there might be something wrong with that actually)
either way, it's rad that you have something you love. it's the only reason i'd buy any record, really. either that or the packaging has to be fantastic.
have a nice life - time of land
i have it on cassette, not many copies exist...
>>51200363
That's some cringey taste but we were young once.
>tfw I own a full picture sleeve 2xLP of Scissor Sisters Ta-Dah which is rare now
>tfw still can't bring myself to sell it
>>51198707
Purified in Blood - Reaper of Souls Demo Version
>>51198970
this is probably a stupid question, but are Genesis bootlegs worth anything?
>>51200413
I like the way this thread is going
Besides the aforementioned junk, I do have both Acceptance albums, some Dance Gavin Dance stuff, Harvard, uh.. Hellogoodbye? Static-X? Is that cringey? Probably.
>>51200466
It would depend on the bootleg, sound quality and which period of Genesis (i.e Phil or Peter).
>>51198707
I have a Car Seat Headrest shirt, but no rare releases. It's 1 of 100 and something
Other than shit me or my friend's made, I have a Joan of Arc s/t LP 500/500 first issue. Got it by chance, so no idea if its worth anything.
Probably my original pressing of In the Court of the Crimson King, or original of White Light/White Heat. Other than that I don't really have much stuff that would be considered rare besides a Talking Heads promo and a Coltrane promo.
>>51200491
>hellogoodbye
dude, which album? Would It Kill You is undeniably a great album, though their debut and 2013's Everything is Debatable had their fair share of highs and lows
>>51200413
keep it man, give it to your pig-stealing, good for nothing grandchildren
you'll be remembered as that cool hipster grandpa
>>51200499
You mean the 500th out of 500 from fucking Joan of Arc?
A Kinsella fanboy will give you his firstborn daughter for that.
>>51200671
Would It Kill You? on white with bonus 7" (took me a while to find for less than like 45 bucks) and Everything Is Debatable on bone
Honestly if that avocado EP was pressed I'd buy that too even though it's pretty bad
Trying to think of other lame things.. a Limp Bizkit tape, Midtown... not much else. Death Cab counts right? Oh I have Disturbed's The Sickness on tape, very proud of that.System of a Down S/T on tape too, actually kinda rare from what I've heard.
B-but I have Sissy Spacek S/T on double 7", I'm still cool right guys
I've got some cassettes limited to 100 (Jordaan Mason - he could have been a poet..., Shannon Phone - Gender™, and Miami Vice - Palm Haze) Sludge Dredd cassette limited to 10, Snowing FYEB 7" on blue vinyl limited to 50, TWIABP Between Bodies on black vinyl limited to 250, and Zeitkraster - Metal Machine Music limited to 500. Everything else I have is either 1000 or above, I'm pretty sure
>>51200817
jealous of that System tape, best thing they ever churned out of their Armenian assholes
also, NICE
managed to get that beeyuuutiful blue/white marbled Would It Kill You, but I'm jealous of the 7''
Sissy would be jealous of that 7'' man
I have this album, by The Invaders, a local college band from the 60's that were apparently popular enough to get re-released on CD 30 years later. Found it at a thrift store, bought it because I liked the name, didn't end up liking the music much. It seems to be considered fairly rare, though. Been considering selling it, as they go for about $200 on ebay.
>>51198913
this is fake as fuck you idiots
clouddead vinyl? i don't know i don't really have anything that rare
>>51200913
The 7" isn't anything special it's just a nice companion
I got the Sissy Spacek from Banjoman on here, the first and only /mu/ transaction I've made. A real shame too, I bet some /mu/tants have some cool shit for sale. Selling over /mu/ is just too risky I guess.
Nothing else really worth mentioning that I can see, but I'm in the process of cataloging everything and maybe one day I can just throw a link out, that'd be nice
>>51201072
haha it is but trips are a different story, especially banjoman, that guy was cool. good luck on that link man, i'm sure I wouldn't be the only person who would appreciate that
gotta keep that quality high
>>51201192
Here's a really really incomplete in progress one, very low quality
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1YG8SL9k0UbDpJhewaz3kDztWsAOD_szcpB_FkKMBgCk/pubhtml
It's taking forever, mostly because I keep getting distracted, but one day..
>>51201274
dude! finish the task set before you, run the race to the very end and collect your reward (probably just a few 'thx' but still)
i'm not touching it until you finish it. it'll be my first listen too
>>51200398
I wish I had there stuff from before deathcon
>>51201349
It'll happen, just gotta buckle down and fuckin do it.
lets see i have
-the avalanches SILY o.g. pressing
-regina spektor soviet kitsch og out of print pressing (like200$ on discogs),
-DFA 1975 YAWIAM 2lp on pink vinyl (only 500 copies made).
thats about it.
>>51198707
I have a lot of sealed 311 singles used for the radio. My rarest is Down.
I have the original pressing of Black Flag Nervous Breakdown ep. There were 300 copies made.
>>51199323
I remember you man. Thank you very much btw. You still fucking rock for that!
i just bought a modest mouse album that is 1 of 1000 thats like the rarest thing i have lol.
I got some tape that is limited to 5 copies, I've never listened to it
>>51198707
I have no idea why, but this album goes for obscene prices on discogs and ebay. It's one of Waylon Jennings last albums. I think he recorded most of the songs with his son. I picked it up at a record store for 15 bucks and found out people were selling it online for up to 300. Good day at the record store. Next valuable is probably the clothbound pressing of Joy Division's Still and then a first pressing of Hootenanny by the Replacements.
Blaugh, I'll just post an image

CD: Killing Us Is a Easy by Operatic, growing collection of Swans discography with dig impact versions and includes the Europe released White Light From the Mouth of Infinity and Love of Life box set, various others and I Haagen various Cardiacs related items.
vinyl: Cop and Holy Money and a bootleg from the My Father tour, reissue of I Can Hear the Heart Beating As One, US pressing of Source Tags and Codes (I wanted the EU one), Stratosphere by Duster, and for Cardiacs I have A Little Man And A House and The Whole World Window, Songs For Ships and Irons, Heaven Born and Ever Bright and a numbered first pressing of Sing to God. Also various early limited colored pressings. I also have 4 copies of the Deathconciousness reissue, I only wanted 2 but one of my record's sleeve was ripped on the spine so I sent them a picture and they straight up sent me two of the standard pressings of it for free.
>>51201887
*digipack, not dig impact
>>51201858

One of my best friends found a copy of King Krule's "6 Feet Beneath the Moon" cassette in a record store and bought it for me. Limited to 300 copies
Vertigo swirl Aphrodite's Child - 666
I think it's pretty rare. Anyone can confirm?
>>51201943
Depends on the album. Discogs.com is your friend
>>51201945

I once saw a pic of All Lights Fucked on the Hairy Amp Drooling on the Internet one time.
Konigsforst - Gas 1999 pressing
idk how many they made but $250 used on amazon
A preorder edition of Flesh Born - Han/All The Pain... LP w/ hand stamped labels and hand numbered (25/50)
I have many releases that are 100 copies or less, a good part of my collection, actually.
>>51200497
I think it's Phil era, I don't really know anything about Genesis nor have much interest, but the second track is Follow You Follow Me.
The sound quality is... Not great. I haven't heard a lot of bootlegs, so I don't know whether it's above or below average, but it definitely sounds bootleg. It also seems to be in mono.
I'm ripping it right now just because, I'll maybe upload some of it somewhere.
>>51201629
dammmnnn fuggg need me a copy of soviet kitsch
not as good as begin to hope but still a nice addition to the discography
>>51201858

>>51202605
You bought Fright Makes Right? I fucking love that album! Great taste anon.
I have this.
https://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/blatella_germ/low_cost_terrorism/
It's limited to a 100 or a 1000 or some shit. Randomly picked it up at a thriftshop. I should share it one of these days after I listened to it.
Preslav Literary School - La Réflexion Du Tir and Heccra - White Eagle on cassette. They're worthless to everyone but me but I don't give a shit, as far as I'm concerned they're the pride of my collection.
>>51198707
a jfru original of shadows i got a while back and some nice zappa pressings idk i really stopped collecting, i should start again
>>51202950
Yeah! It's one of my favorite noise rock albums and I'm a sucker for the DIY style packaging, so I couldn't pass it up when it came up on Discogs for something like $8
>>51203061
Guuuuuh I'm jealous as hell of that Preslav Literary School tape, I feel like that album would be perfect for cassette and I didn't get into tapes until after it was sold out ;_____;
>>51203151
Yeah, it's one of those releases that somehow manages to sound great on tape. I lucked out and managed to snag the last avaliable copy, same deal with the Heccra tape too actually now I think of it
>>51198913
Isn't there a hit clips cartridge of this album?
Paid 45 euro for Weighing Souls With Sand on LP

STGSTV on vinyl. I don't know how rare it is really but it's going for approximately $250 on Amazon right now. Got it from some dude in Germany for $50 still sealed.
This on LP (bought it for 3 bucks, store had lots of copies for some reason; I don't even live in Austria).
Picture disc, limited edition of 500 pressings. Bought it directly from Profound Lore (it was relatively cheap), and when it was taking too long to arrive, I sent them an email, they told me it was literally the last copy they had. Fortunately it was delivered eventually, that was a stroke of luck.
>>51202388
you're right
i'm jelly as fuck right now
