jgel Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 I have been waiting for Dream Theater's AWAKE. $150 - $200 on eBay every time. I just can't do it. $50 has been my max for wax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nothingnatural Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Most I've spent on a record is in the $100 range on a few titles. Only one I remember off hand is a sealed copy of Desert Sessions 9&10. This is a cool thread as it does feel really good to find certain records that mean a lot to you. I've actually had really good luck over the years of finding top wants at really decent prices. Here's a few that I remember off hand: Desert Sessions - Vol. 3 10" $18.99 Failure - Comfort 12" promo $4.99 (in perfect condition, this was one of my best scores) Failure - Pro-Catastrophe / Dipped In Anger 7" for a whooping $4 off some dude in the UK Autolux - Future Perfect OG 2x12" for $7.99 No Knife - Drunk on the Moon $2.99 Lush - Hypocrite Test Press for $20 Lush - Gala Direct Metal Mastering plates -This thing is bad ass. Was so happy to acquire it. These are copper duplication plates used in the pressing plant and are thus not playable on a turntable. Each plate represents one side of the record. It's just a collectible, but it's one of my favorite items I own. I can post a picture but I doubt anyone here gives a shit about Lush. There's a ton of items from the 90s that I'm dying to get but the prices on most of them are out of hand. Main two that I'd love to own: Hum - Downward Is Heavenward on clear blue and Hum - You'd Prefer An Astronaut on green. I also still want to get STP - Core on vinyl. People can dog STP all day but Core is a great album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I grew up on Lush as my sister always played them when I was a little kid. Loved them ever since except their very last album (Lovelife) is not one that I care much for. Don't hate it, just prefer the older stuff. It's funny you mention that video game thing as it's actually got them a ton of new fans. Unfortunately, they don't ever plan to play again after the 1996 tragedy of the drummer killing himself. I am also absolutely in love with Miki which is one of the singers and guitar player for them.

Wow a lot of those are my faves, too (Failure and Autolux among them) I recently got a live 7" of Autolux on KEXP and got promo vinyl Comfort at a record show a while ago which I had Greg sign at an Autolux show Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nothingnatural Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Yeah, I picked up that Autolux Live at KEXP 7 a while ago. It's a cool little release but I wish it had a cover. Good idea of getting the Comfort LP signed as it's a pretty plain and boring looking. Something to jazz it up a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
