paulaayy Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Arcturus - The Sham Mirrors Not sure how rare this is, but I've never seen it on sale. All of their other albums aren't hard to get, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a reissue someday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottyrobotty Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 I got one of my two whales recently. https://www.discogs.com/Various-Sing-Me-To-Sleep-Indie-Lullabies/release/2249845 I watch ebay constantly for this but I haven't seen it after years of searches. I messaged everyone on discogs that has it in their collection. Multiple times. "Hey want to sell that yet?". I finally found one guy that wanted the Wes Anderson Tribute LP. Didn't care what color/pressing. I just pre-ordered that from American Laundromat and ended up getting this whale pretty cheaply. Now all I need for my Sigur Rós collection is this https://www.discogs.com/Sigur-Rós-Von-Brigði/release/1835354. It shows up on ebay sometimes but it always goes for $350 -$800.

Reshiram Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Not something I've personally wanted forever but definitely worthy of being deemed a white whale. Saw it on the wall at Amoeba in Hollywood and didn't realize what it was till I walked around the store and went, "Oh shit, isn't that the rare ass Incubus record." I checked discogs and they wanted a little over half of what the last selling price was, gonna keep it but for now if a die-hard Incubus fan were to make me an offer, I might take it. Incubus "Let Me Tell Ya 'bout Root Beer" 1995 7" /500 Also, the back art is fucking amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be a hell of a score. Are they even known to be out there? I'd love a test press of RAM - s/t, but never of any even existing. I can now cross Alice in Chains - Facelift (EU press) off my list! And Tom Petty -Wildflowers too!

Facelift is the only AIC album I need but I'm just waiting for the inevitable repress. The only records I'm after right now are all $100+, not necessarily White whales, just expensive Alesana - On Frail Wings Of Vanity And Wax Every Time I Die - Gutter Phenomenon Marilyn Manson - Portrait, Mechanical, Holy Wood System of a Down - S/T , Toxicity vinyl addict 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toxicity I got for 80 at a record store which I had no porblem spending, so if you wait that one out you should be able to get one under 100.

From someone personal collection. I spent a bunch on albums from that shop in the course of a month. Lots of rare, mint stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tagruato Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 This may seem like an odd one, but my white whale is the Disneyland ST-3929 which was sent out during the ARG for the movie Tomorrowland. If anyone around here has one, let me know and I'd be happy to discuss a trade/sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im still actually bummed The Emptiness didnt pan out on getting pressed. I think the 2 biggest records that I'm super focused on is the mint green pressing of TDWP's Plagues & Senses Fail's EP From The Depths of Dreams. They both pop up for like $150 every once & awhile, but its always when I cant afford it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siemprepe Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 My white whales are quite numerous. Haven't been collecting seriously for that long. Gallows - grey britain Gallows - Orchestra of wolves With the punches - seams and stitches Take it back! - atrocities Creeper - s/t Creeper - the callous heart Bayside - killing time Shiny toy guns - we are pilots Daggermouth - turf wars Madsen -labyrinth Madsen - friedem in krieg Alkaline trio - s/t Swellers -- good for me Direct hit - domesplitter architects - daybreaker Some I haven't found at all, some I have found but too expensive for my wallet at the time Some I was too stupid to buy when I had the chance. If you can help me out reducing the list, let me know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatsNJazz Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 I saw this thread and thought really hard about what I really want that I don't think I'll ever own, It's probably Duality by Captain Murphy. I doubt it will ever get repressed so prices will just keep going up. Until recently my white whale was The Hold Steady - Seperation Sunday but the recent repress took care of that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, but shipping of 16$ for a 13$ record really doesn't do it for me. That is maybe the reason it is a 'white whale' for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't call something readily available for under $30 a white whale; the term implies it's hard to find. stl_ben, zerohacker and Ranch Cat 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
