jtcohenour Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 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. Thats an expensive one, but at least its obtainable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmoney Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 new found glory - catalyst White whales that don't exist. Awesome. I hate this thread and keep coming back. That Jimmy Eat World album is not a white whale. Neither is Hum or Knapsack. Neither is U2.

Michaelgetsboss Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Relient k - forget and not slow down, I literally check ebay on the daily for this and would spend pretty much anything And family force 5 - dance or die, album is pretty bad but it's nostalgic for me, slept on it for a couple years because I figured it would always be around at $20 plus the $8 shipping and as soon as soul glow announced he was leaving the band people bought the rest of them, haven't been able to find it since Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FangsAnalSatan Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 I hate when you want a record, but no one's selling it. Not because it's expensive, or because it's rare, just no one sells it. I really want the pink pressing of Turn it Around by Comeback Kid, but I can't find it anywhere. Last time it was sold was on Discogs for $11.

Mibabalou Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Easy... Explosions In The Sky - How Strange, Innocence 2xLP. I think I saw one on ebay a few weeks ago. Sold for around $400.... Maybe someday well get a repress? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Requiescat Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 I think I saw one on ebay a few weeks ago. Sold for around $400.... Maybe someday well get a repress? Yeah, it pops up every so often and usually sells for around $300-500 almost condition irrelevant. I'm holding out for the closest to mint/unplayed I can find. This has been something I've wanted literally since it was first released so I don't mind continuing to take my time finding the exact copy I want. Also, based on my experience with the guys in EitS, this will never see a repress beyond the CD that was issued. The band basically considers the album an "embarrassment" and I think it was frustrating enough for them to even consider repressing it on CD back in 2005 (I think?) due to such high demand from fans. I've contacted the band many times wondering if they had a copy of the LP laying around but none of them personally own one. They even went so far as to say something along the lines of, "If we could buy back every copy of this album and burn it, we would"... so I think based on that alone what we have currently available is all that ever will be.

stl_ben Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Live at Glen Danzig's Split 7" with photo cover... Was at the release and missed getting one by minutes. Never seen one for sale on the 2nd hand market.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iron666monkey Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 My new white whale has become At The Gates - Terminal Spirit Disease. I wish they would repress it since originals are going for stupid high amounts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Justin Maheiny Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 When I was I was in high school I watched Electric Glide In Blue with my dad. There's a rock band in that movie that performs live and kicks serious ass. I found out the band was Madura after watching the credits. I looked for it on eBay and Gemm a lot but I think this was before discogs.com or at least I didn't know about that site at the time. I looked for it every time I went to a record store and 9-10 years later I found it at Bagatelle's in Long Beach for $8.00. The album sounds nothing like I thought it would and I hate it. http://youtu.be/kevIEwfJxL4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame. That album is good and I would hardly call it an embarrassment. Better than the past few releases imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanSmithers Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 I would love a numbered Thrice Beggars Purple album. only 45 of those. I've saved my money for awhile on that one and one came up on ebay a month of two ago and I got outbid at $182 before I could bid again. Oh well. Underrated album from one of my all time favorite bands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spoon Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 I would say either "Blood" or "Little Bird Flies into a Big Black Cloud" by the Microphones. The only LPs missing from my Phil Elverum collection and hard to come by these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For years my white whale was Big Choice by Face to Face. I don't care how much money you have to spend you will have to wait to buy this record, and they don't pop up very often.

I could swear they never really went on sale to the general public. People could correct me if I'm wrong.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are both incredibly rare and expensive when they do pop up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtcohenour Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 I contacted a few band current/former band members about both of these records to attempt to come up with pressing info and even they were not sure how many were out there.

slinch Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 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.

riotgirl1987 Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 The Murder City Devils "Thelema" on pink. Some days I even doubt it's actual existence but there is a picture of it on murdercityvinyl.com. In 11 years of collecting I have never seen it come up for sale anywhere.
