what bands do you collect?


Recommended Posts

Just stating right off the bat that I don't really collect test presses, though if one catches my eye for a reasonable price, I am not against adding to my collections.

*Against Me! (Variants. I don't really collect their No Idea 7"'s too much. Everything else I do.)

*Tim Version (Variants. My collection is complete, including 1 test press.)

*Teenage Bottlerocket (One of each release. Collection complete)

*The Steinways (Variants. Missing 2 variants. I own 1 test press.)

*Me First & The Gimme Gimmes (One of each release. I do have variants of some releases, but mainly focusing on 1 copy.)

*Gaslight Anthem (One of each release. I have variants of the EP, but I don't care to go for variants of Sink or Swim.)

*American Steel (Variants. Missing their s/t LP only.)

I also collect every release that It's Alive puts out. (Variants. Only missing a couple variants of the Copyrights "Button Smasher" 7" and The Steinways moldy pizza pack. Doubt I'll ever get the pizza pack, but other than that, collection complete.)

Fucked Up.

I need one LP and 1 7" to have every variation that I know of thats not a test press and that limited to more than like 8. All tests and ridiculously rare variations never left the band/labels supposedly, so I will consider my collection complete once I get those last two records.

Looking for gold LP with stamped labels

two snakes (american tour version, printed labels) 7"

Someone hook me up!

Dude Clutch would be awesome to collect. Unfortunately, if you didn't get on it a while ago it's near impossible now as the demand for their stuff makes it so expensive. Must be a rad collection.

I have more plans of collecting than I have actual collections, but:

Bomb The Music Industry! - missing tests and one variant (stupid red cover)

Get Rad - like loki, I think it's just me collecting. I've only got some tests to track down if I can

Holy Shit! - missing two variants, doubt I'll be able to find tests

Expatriate - missing two, won't try for tests

Next collections I'm going for will be:

7 Seconds - just one of each, no variants

Stiff Little Fingers - same

Orchid & all related bands - all variants by Orchid, one of each from everybody else

Gorilla Biscuits - one of each

Good Clean Fun - all variants!

Bouncing Souls - everything

Fun stuff. I love collections!

nope. never came out. either did 4.5 (an early ebay joke)

i do own a Panthro/Wardance orange 10" test press and 2 Radon We bare all LP test presses that were never released.

Clutch vinyl.... yeah i have alot...not every color of the pitchfork 7" but everything else including related bands. Their self titled LP is one of the jewels in my collection...mint condition from a German mailorder back in '96.

I've got a complete Career Suicide collection (thanks to adambomb & 1234Go!) minus a few tests and a couple compilations. I also have a complete Paint It Black collection. Plus I have incomplete Pink Razors and None More Black collections laying around as well. Need to buy some 7"s for those.

Hot Water Music. I started collecting last year.

The reason why I decided to go ahead and start collecting HWM (Apart from loving the music of course!), is actually because it's such a gigantic task, and I'll never ever have a complete collection. To me, the fun is in hunting down one variation after another (The journey itself is the destination!), but I'm not aiming to ever complete the collection.
