What's your White Whale record?


Recommended Posts

Wintersleep's first two albums. Small pressings for both, and I haven't seen one sold on discogs in eons.

A copy of the first album was listed and sold today for over $120usd. Saw it, told myself it was too much, but contacted the seller about a different lp and talked about the Wintersleep album. It sold super fast but he said he has a few more copies that he might put up for sale. Keep your eyes open.

He tasks me! That whale, he tasks me!

My white whale! She has surfaced! And only a mere $1,800! :-(

Banksy version of Royksopp's Melody AM

Is that actually spray painting by bansky or is it just designed? Either way that's pretty sweet.

The history of bansky is nuts so if he/she/them spray painted it that'd probably be the most affordable way to own their work lol.

Sweet fuck, I would gladly drop that much! Thanks for the heads up!

Edit: was this on discogs?

Yeah, this morning on discogs. Between seeing it and messaging him about the other LP it sold. Similar thing happened with Welcome to The Night Sky a few weeks ago... stuck a deal with a guy in Vancouver on shipping to Toronto, but hesitated on buying it because I didn't want to leave the fate of a $100 record up to Canada Post and it sold. People are serious about these records.

Banksy himself!

Dang. I love Melody AM, now this is my white whale too. Never going to own this at that price though. Sucks for me.

I'm not sure if it's the same seller but i just bought Wintersleep's second album on Discogs after looking for it for ages and ages.

Is his name Canadia? If so, he has sold roughly about four Wintersleep albums in the past few days. I know I bought both the first and second album off him, and another member here purchased one too. I honestly want to believe that I am going to get these albums, but the more he sells, the more wary I am of his account considering he has zero feedback.

Yes. I'm wary now too.

Fuck, I hope I didn't steer you guys into a greasy seller. I didn't buy the LP I contacted him about since it was a gift and he lives closer to her than I do - so she can get it herself - so I don't have any dogs in this race, but I certainly feel responsible for pointing this guy out.

 

Keep me posted - hopefully you guys don't have to go through a paypal dispute and you just get your records and live happily ever after.
