Which record would you NEVER get rid of?


Recommended Posts

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.

owth - high five for the rapture test press

signed by ryan young - "At least three dudes jerked off in your house last night"

from when owth / dear landlord crashed at my house.

Best signature ever.

he signed another record "stop beating up retarded kids, cory is a jerk"

after we talked about my job working w/ DD kids.

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. ;D

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.

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.

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

NOFX - Wolves on yellow and signed by the band for the Lance Hahn benefit. Limited to 20 copies.

I remember when this came out I wasn't even collecting records but I tried to get one and waited too long...still kicking myself

Yea its the most Ive ever paid for a record but I didnt think it was too bad considering it was going to a good cause.
