voodooramen Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 I would never sell my Pedro the Lion - The Only Reason I Feel Secure test press. Even when I am 65. It would be a very cool piece to have when their music seldom even pops up for sale. I mean really, how many copies of a 500 copy release will still be around 50 years from now? Think about it. Will people even give a shit to press vinyl in 50 years? Even now, it is still a niche market these days. We will probably have discs with a bitrate many, many times higher than current CD's, and the difference between records and digital will grow ever smaller to the ear.

littlerobot Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 John Frusciante- Shadows Collide With People. Nice! Great record...crazy, but great! I love that record so much, and I found it at regular price at a store. Oh the excitement on my face when I found it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmythescumbag Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 What a great score on the Frusciante record. Edit: On topic, I will never get rid of my Worldwide Zoo - Roots Deep/Dust:30 test press. We got 3 tests, and each member of the band has one. It is the first thing we ever "officially" released...besides, I have 900+ copies (green and mixed) sitting nearby that I will gladly sell to anyone interested.

numanoid Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 Everything's got a price. But that price would be insanely high on these: Gang of Four - Entertainment (test press) Oasis - Familiar to Millions Oasis - The Masterplan (box set) Smiths - Shoplifters of the World (promo only) Smiths - Queen is Dead (promo only single) Carbonas - S/T 2007 (clear vinyl, birthday gift) Exploding Hearts - Guitar Romantic (Screaming Apple) Gary Numan - Complex 7" (autographed) Devo - Are We Not Men (blue vinyl, autographed) There are a few more, but you get the point.

rtw88 Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 Did you finally get that Knapsack record dude? Congrats! Also, I can't remember if you're the guy in By Surprise or not, but if so, I just wanted to let you know how pleasantly surprised I was by your side of the Hightide Hotel split. I got the split because I was a fan of them, but your side of the split blows them out of the water. I Miss You, Etc. totally rips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casey Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 I've been really pissed at myself recently for selling my Owls record. Like several people mentioned above, most records would be given up for the right price and/or the right circumstances, but these would be the last to go: The Amps--Pacer The Breeders--Fate to Fatal EP w/ orange screened cover The Twilight Sad--Fourteen Autumns, Fifteen Winters Ted Leo/Pharmacists--Tyranny of Distance, Hearts of Oak, Shake the Sheets Ink & Dagger--S/T The Weakerthans--Fallow Twelve Hour Turn--Victory of Flight Hot Snakes--Suicide Invoice, Audit in Progress Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patrick Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 I can think of tons that would be difficult to get rid of, but since you only asked about one, it would be Texas is the Reason "Do You Know Who You Are?". This would have gone for the regular old black copy, but I do have a copy on white now, so that would be it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
