i love that minus the bear picture disc -- sometimes i take mine out and just look at it for a while...

You mean Bear Vs. Shark? Cause to my knowledge there is not a minus the bear pic disc.

whoops, apparently my brain shut off. maybe i blacked out. i did mean bear vs shark.

I had to do two lists:

7-INCHES

1. Alkaline Trio - Halloween & Trio/Smoking Popes split (the first was a gift from a friend who went to the Halloween show; the second, I got at their New Years show last year)

2. Blink-182/Swindle split (Mislabeled -- vinyl actually Blink's "They Came To Conquer Uranus" 7-inch just w/wrong labels -- only known in existence)

3. Blue Meanies/MU330 split (BM cover "Stone Cold Crazy" and MU330 cover "Vacation" -- I absolutely adore this record)

4. All my Braid 7-inches (all but one are original pressings purchased back when the band were still together -- I missed the boat on "Niagara" first time around but got the repress at their final show)

5. Jimmy Eat World/Jejune split (first pressing, two of my favorite JEW songs and two INCREDIBLE songs by Jejune -- I used to play the Jejune side every morning as I got ready for my sophomore year of high school on this junky record player passed down to me)

6. the Faint/Ex-Action Figures split (This was right when the Faint went from boring indie rock band to awesome synth-punk band back in 99 -- I saw them play in a record store in '99 right before Blank Wave Arcade came out and picked this up after their set)

7. Franklin - Major Taylor (one of my all-time favorite songs -- they re-recorded this for their last album, but the 7-inch version is superior)

8. Motion City Soundtrack - Promenade/Carolina (this record's almost 10 years old, from the very first incarnation of MCS -- super-duper rare, and I got it for $3 about 7 years ago)

9. The Promise Ring/Texas Is The Reason split (two amazing songs from two amazing bands)

10. Saves The Day - I'm Sorry I'm Leaving (on white, screenprinted cover -- I won this at Krazyfest 4 in 2001. One of my most prized possessions)

LPs

1. Alkaline Trio - Goddamnit / I Lied My Face Off 12-inch EP (it paid to live in Illinois when the Trio were coming up)

2. Ben Folds Five - The Unauthorized Biography Of Reinhold Messner (my favorite BF5 album)

3. Brand New - Your Favorite Weapon (on white) & Deja Entendu

4. The Faint - Blank-Wave Arcade Remixes (picture disc)

5. Hot Water Music - No Division (original pressing on Some; my favorite HWM record)

6. Jimmy Eat World - Static Prevails (different cover art than the CD, missing the bonus 7-inch though -- picked it up for $2 years ago)

7. Lifetime - Lifetime (on red; picked this up at their Detroit show in April -- they only had 3 left for the whole tour, or so they said)

8. Social Distortion - Mommy's Little Monster (gatefold cover; I'm guessing this is out of print? I've had it for years and still haven't bought it on CD)

9. V/A - Dad, Are We Punk Yet? (one of the first comps I ever owned way back in the mid-'90s)

10. All five Weezer LPs (although Blue and Pinkerton are reissues -- boo)

One thing I noticed while going through these was that virtually all of them were bought at the time period they were released -- very little eBaying going on here.

They usually do a limited colour run in the first press. For example, the new Strike Anywhere had 300 on yellow and the rest will be on black. Some or Fire had some on blue. NOFX's last album had just over 1,000 on yellow. Normally these go to pre-orders and are sold out by the time the record is properly released.

i didnt ask because i watched him win it on ebay. Fat Mike put it up for a contest, the dude who won it sold it on ebay

Hadn't checked the board in a few days - but that is correct-

It was part of a prize package for a Guitar Center contest - the winner put it up on ebay - Now its with me
