Hey everybody.  Hopefully someone can help me out here. I'm currently looking to buy the following original pressings of Alice in Chains: Facelift,Dirt, and self-titled Alice in Chains

 

If anyone has either of those and would like to sell them to me, just shoot me a PM and hopefully we can do business.

 

All the best,

Haha. My bad man I've been watching this one auction on eBay for the s/t because the seller is one town over from where I live but he has shipping set to $17 so I'm trying to see if I can avoid that charge if I pick it up

 

Its cool man. Yeah eBAY shipping pricing can be a bitch. I think I saw the one you mentioned on eBAY.  I would take a shot at it, but I'm patiently waiting on someone to relist one buy it now. I reviewed the completed auctions, so there is a few of those 1st pressing out there that should resurface soon. Do you own any of the other AIC 1st pressings?

Last time I checked on eBay there was an original sealed jar of flies/sap sealed but had water damage on the jacket for $24.99 buy it now but it's sold as is since it's sealed

 

$25 bucks is a GREAT price for that. As of right now, I currently own the following:

 

Madseason - Above - 1st pressing

Alice In Chains -  Jar of flies/Sap - 1st pressing

Alice In Chains - Black gives way to blue - 1st pressing

Alice In Chains - The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here - 1st pressing

 

Now the fun of the hunt begins for the early stuff and my pockets will become much lighter! I love AIC, even got an AIC tattoo, so I can't wait to track down the1st pressings of the early stuff.

 

So if anyone can help me out, PM me. It would be MUCH appreciated.

How much did you aquire the self titled for if you don't mind me asking

$225 on Craigslist. Overpaid a bit, but it was worth it to get it in my hands immediately; however, there is a sealed copy of it on Discogs for $150 plus shipping that I wish I had a saw before I pulled the trigger on the copy I purchased.

First off, thanks for the responses guys, and I'm sorry for the delay in responding. Now that I'm back after a breif absence, it is only appropriate that I update and put the final nail in this thread.

 

I ended up buying a Dirt reissue **AND** I managed to locate an imported copy of Facelift in the States, so while I'm sure I overpaid pretty good(gave $215), it was definitely worth the money as I didn't take any risk of being scammed by folks overseas and was able to obtain it within 4 days. So happy to finally get this.

 

All in all, it took a year and a half & around $1000 (not on my computer with my masterlists so I can't give exact price right now) to complete my Alice in Chains collection and obtain the 1st pressings that I desired (aside from Dirt - obv).

 

Cheers!
