Ballisticgoat Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 My current white whale is the Pokemon the movie 2000 vinyl that was released with the movie Wow. No idea that existed, I think I want it now too just for shits and giggles. Godspeed on finding it though. Also I got what I guess would be my "white whale" today, It's not really a highly sought after or expensive record though. It's the mint green version of TWIABP/Deer Leap - Are Here To Help You. It's kind of rare I guess. Never seen one go up for sale on discogs or ebay, don't know about on here or deadformat, or other places. It looks beautiful, one of the nicest looking records I own. Long story short: I decided not to buy it back when it was pressed and have regretted it ever since. Thank god for Topshelf deciding to clean up their inventory.

slinch Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Currently there's only one: The Naked and Famous - Kill the Littleblackdots I've contacted everyone that I've found who owns it, no-one is willing to sell. Discogs say the last one sold over 3 years ago. I found no info on it anywhere else other than two or three webstores that had it up way back when. I've acquired the above posted one roughly a month after posting. My current white whale is AFI - Black Sails in the Sunset Test Pressing. Not a single copy has ever surfaced.

fuckinandsuckinandtouchin Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Mine is the test pressing for Don't Turn Away by Face to Face. I've never seen a test, but do you remember a year or two ago, Dr. Strange auctioned off the master reels for that album? It was a different tracklist, with their Blondie cover as well. I wonder if that was the original idea for the album?? I know they recorded those songs at two different studios. I'm curious about that again so I'm going to search around the internets for it.

I know they used a mixture of records from both studios on DTA because so much time elapsed between the initial session and DTA actually being released.

HoldingSteady Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 What are some people's dream vinyl? Like those records that you would trade a leg for. Personally, the first three Hold Steady albums are mine. Been a huge fan for years and hoping every day for reissue news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maneatingcow Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 My only "White Whale" record was The Strikes - A Conscience Left to Struggle With Pockets Full of Rust. My first post here was actually because I was so pumped I just had to let someone know I was able to track that record down. Since then I've gotten another copy of that. I've been meaning to give it to a friend but I just can never pull the trigger on it because neither are in great shape and I don't want to track down another. Not that this is a very sought after record it's just older and had a relatively small pressing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It made me throw that album into google to see if I could track down another copy. A couple of pages in and there is a copy on oldies.com. Funniest part is I just today ran through the clearance at oldies.com and didn't pull the trigger on the order because I was $10 short of getting free shipping and there was nothing I needed to have. So I'm crossing my fingers I tracked down a new copy of a 17 year old record that is in my top 3 records of all time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just want a damn copy of Iron Chic's Demo 12" (as you can see in my sig). Can't believe people are asking so much for it on discogs.

jtcohenour Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Bumping this. I may get shit for this, but I hope I can find a copy of U2 - "How to Dismantle An Atomic Bomb" one day. Many memories with that album. There are 7 copies for sale right now on Discogs: http://www.discogs.com/U2-How-To-Dismantle-An-Atomic-Bomb/release/714519 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
