GermyHewmatt Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Not everyone's idea of a white whale is the same. It's more of a personal thing. Sure, those records I named aren't limited to five copies but they are somewhere rare. There are no copies of AB Life on eBay or discogs and there are no copies of The Front Bottoms on eBay and one copy on discogs. They aren't exactly easy to find. To me a white whale is something you obsess over and won't stop until you have it. Those two records were my white whales. Explain how they're not.

TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 You now own both of them, so they aren't white whales any more... This thread has rehashed and rehashed what is considered a white whale for the purposes of this thread, and as far as this specific thread is concerned, neither of those hit the mark.

mrewest Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 I suppose any non- deluxe If These Trees Could Talk test presses are my current white whales. The only Red Forest test I've ever seen in existance was given away at the album release show (raffle drawing I didn't win). Record label has never sold any. Above the Earth has been on ebay twice & sold for $250 & $350 respectively. It also was sold on the Mylene Sheath website for $80 which I missed out on. I've never seen a Self-Titled test for sale. I just want one of those dammit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thread thread thread. Right. They're not white whales anymore. But for me personally they WERE white whales. Lots of people have posted in this thread that they've gotten their white whale. How is me posting that I finally have mine any different? Just because they're not as rare as others? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DecayToDeath Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 This is my white whale And I'm half-serious. I don't see any for sale on eBay, it's never sold on Discogs, and only 8 people have it in their Discogs collection. I want it for the sheer novelty and absurdity.

Just because they're not as rare as others?GermyHewmatt, on 20 Sept 2015 - 7:31 PM, sa As I already said, because they aren't all that rare or hard to come by, they don't really fit the criteria of the thread that has been previously established. I've been running after a copy of SSTB for years now because I've set certain criteria for my purchase, but I wouldn't come in here and be like "this is my white whale" because it isn't as set forth by the thread. I don't really care, honestly, congrats on getting some records you wanted. Everyone is welcome to have their own definition of things, but in this thread, specific criteria have been set forth as to what "we" think they are.

biodigitaljazz Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Finally acquired my white whale record, Bomb in a Birdcage by A Fine Frenzy after a year of being outbid on eBay. Sounds good, couldn't be happier. Good luck to everyone still trying to find that special wax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peateargriffin Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 My white whale is a particular copy of saves the day I'm Sorry I'm leaving on pink/red mix. I've owned it twice and I'd love to get it back. For the longest time my whale was saves the day I'm sorry I'm leaving test press. I had it and sold it and would also love to get another chance at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvismcvegas Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Tool - Ænima Love me an original.... And Porno for Pyros - Good God's Urge. I found an original Aenima in a tiny record store in Durango Colorado for $50. I also got the 1996 pressing of undertow as well. Keep up the look out and you'll find one as well.

Zick Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Aspid - Extravasation I've seen it on Discogs a couple times, but they're either out of my price range, or the deal sounds sketchy. There's one listed right now for just under $400, but the seller is in Russia and only accepts cash in the mail as a form of payment. nope.avi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
