Guest Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Really, a regular pressing of More Betterness is your white whale? I don't think most people in this thread understand the meaning of a white whale. The meaning of white whale has been discussed but some don't seem to adhere to it and want to change the meaning.

I don't think most people in this thread understand the meaning of a white whale. Well its not for sale anywhere at any price. Not on ebay nor amazon. No VC'er I have seen has had one for sale. Sorry its not some super obscure record but in terms of being a "white whale" I have hunted for it only to find it sol out everywhere with no used copies picking up. What was I supposed to say something by Brand New? unravelled 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atticus Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 At rsd back in 2009 there was a dude outside of Wuxtry in Athens, GA doing lathe cuts from mp3 rips on 7" wax for $10/ piece. I got him to do 4 copies of my band's 4 song EP (from wav files at least). I even had one of my best friends hand paint covers for them. I kept 2 and snuck one into the 7" bin at Wuxtry and one at School Kids. Both of my copies was stolen when my house got broken into later that year- my records in my room were taken as well as a safe box from my closet with my "sentimental crap" in it. I went back to both stores and checked through hundreds and hundreds of 7"s multiple times (the owner of Wuxtry even helped me) but both copies had sold. My friend that did the covers for me died in a car wreck back in 2010. I haven't stopped looking for it since and never will. I would pay unspeakable amounts of money for this shitty lathe cut 7". THAT is a White Whale. everythingisfine, rudeboydh, agaetisbyrjun and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why I didn't bother posting any of the records I'd love to own but can't for one reason or another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missed out on buying it on eBay a few years ago for 100, now I never see it for sale, and it's gone for 250 - 300 last year apparently. Still hoping for a 10 year anniversary repress this year!
