dialaview Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 As vinyl enthusiasts we are pretty accustomed of having our favorite records being very scarce, but what is the rarest one? I think my favorite is Grandaddy's "The Sophtware Slump". I bought my copy from M&VE in London a few years back and I don't think I've ever seen it on vinyl on ebay or anywhere else.. What about your favorite albums? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyle Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 I've got a Dan Padilla/Madison Bloodbath split 7" white/black marble /2 Off With Their Heads/Dukes of Hillsborough split 7" yellow /6 (IIRC) And of course, my favorite record... HWM- Fuel for the Hate Game, half black half white first pressing /50. Its a decade old at this point, so I'm sure at least a handful of the originals are lost/trashed/broken.

flood Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 flood, i know you've got one of those "twisting" test presses too... do you have any idea the # of those? i have no idea, but ive seen a couple more pop on ebay... i really think its less of a true test pressing.. as the record doesn't really exist.. and maybe it was a radio promo type deal.

impact Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Volcano, I'm Still Excited!! - New Brad 7" on black.I may have the only black copy. - Jeff i doubt that.. just because when vinyl is pressed, there are always leftover wax from the color and it would be nearly impossible to make just one record a certain color.. well unless, they measured it out correctly just so one record can be made.
