thishoax2live4 Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 I was just wondering if this happens to everyone else as much as it does me: There is that band you like, with that one particular record you think is their best...and for some reason you can find EVERY other album of theirs on vinyl BUT the one you want: Some examples: For the longest time I couldn't find a copy of As Tall As Lions self-titled or Thursday's - War All The Time. I kept seeing every other one of both bands records everywhere, and it almost felt like "settling" to think about just picking up a different album... Dashboard Confessional - Dusk And Summer. This album is perfection. Arguably the most commercially successful. But it's the only one not on vinyl, while generally all his other albums are findable. Some others: Mute Math's self-titled. Bloc Party-Silent Alarm (which I finally found) How ofter does this happen to you and what are some examples of bands where all but the one you want is available?

christhepiece Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Well this is happening to me right now ! I can't seem to be able to get Mare Vitalis by The Appleseed Cast, which I think is their best album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonbeams Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 I can't fathom why half of the McRackins discography is not on vinyl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suchashorttime Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 this is the story of my life with minus the bear's highly refined pirates. and with some 4 pressings already, i'm not keen on dropping $40 for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjkenney Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Alkaline Trio- From Here to Infirmary. it pisses me off. Outside of their self titled, which is readily available, this is their last full length I need to complete their catalog in my collection. ugh. and for MTB^^ I ended up dropping exactly 40 on a blue copy of it. There are few records I'll splurge on but that was one of them; I just wanted it and to have it and not worry about looking for it anymore.

I was gonna say what kind of fantasy are you living in with $40 for HRP but then the guy below says he got one for just that much. haha Everywhere I've ever seen it has been at least $60 and on eBay its at least $80. But let's add that to my list...which is huge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkfoster8 Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 This happened to me with BTBAM "Colors" green variant. Luckily through endless searching and some serious patience, I was able to finally get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exitenglish1208 Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 i got from here to infirmary and good mourning from a guy on ebay for like 20 bucks, before i even realized they were kind of a big deal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamlikesmusic Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 i got from here to infirmary and good mourning from a guy on ebay for like 20 bucks, before i even realized they were kind of a big deal From Here To Infirmary always surprised me. It was available so easily for so many years, then suddenly everywhere sold out at the same time. Always found that funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, look at how many pressings there are of all the Isis albums versus how much they go for. Not saying I like it, just saying it happens.
