What's your White Whale record?


Recommended Posts

Rise Against- Siren Song if the Counter Culture

Getting it in the next day or two. Yeeeeeaaah.

No

 

It very well may have been a legitimate White Whale before the Hot Topic repressing...

Nope. Not even close

 

Call me crazy but I don't consider a record a white whale if you can actually locate it on a daily basis.  

 

To me a white whale should be a record that you simply cannot locate (or have to spend a significant amount of time locating), even when you have the funds available to purchase it. 

 

Yep.

 

I have two hard to acquire records in my sig. As much as I want them, I don't even consider them white whales. If I wanted to drop $260 on one of them, and $150 for another they could have be mine at one point. Siren Song would end up on ebay every so often, but just went for a lot of money. Coffee Zombie said End Measured Mile. There are three on discos for $20 plus shipping. So no.

 

Plus there a boatload of the Euro pressing available. You could own several hundred: http://distro.shieldrecordings.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=35&product_id=206

 

Hell you could even own a test press! http://distro.shieldrecordings.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=35&product_id=618

Reading through this thread is almost cringe inducing.

 

I regret even calling my 'white whale' just that, considering that all it took for me to locate mine was to make a post on DeadFormat an a small chunk of change, and it's limited to 10.

 

But maybe I'm just lucky.

Couldn't agree or upvote you more.  

 

I actually picked up a copy of that Rise Against record brand new for 12 bucks this last summer at Zia Records in Tucson.  Hasn't that shit been pressed like 30 times?   That is not rare.  Rare is the copy of Don't Turn Away by Face to Face (pressing on yellow wax Dr Strange did) that I'm searching for.  Its sold like 5 times on E-Bay in the last 10 years.  Even with that considered I still would be hard pressed to label it a white whale because 100 or so were pressed.
