I have three of your holy grails.

Two of mine are bootleg LPs with great sounds and killer performances:

Darkside - Psychedelicise Suburbia
Loop - red Italian bootleg (I got the CD of this when it came out, then saw the 2xLP version a week later and couldn't afford it; I've been kicking myself ever since)

Overhang Party's 1st LP as well, but I can never afford it on the rare occasions it comes up for sale.

D'you know, a few years ago I'd've had a list as long as your arm (knowing, of course, how alarmingly long your arms are). Now, I can't think of a single one. I'm really rather happy about that.

I wouldn't mind the Big Black "Sound Of Impact" bootleg LP - have seen it a few times in London for ridiculous amounts of money.

Metalux - Flourescent Towers
Free Kitten - Call Now (Ecstatic Peace 12")
any Sam Most i can find (quite rare, never has been reissued on CD)
Sun City Girls - Torch of the Mystics
Bardo Pond - the Volumes (i fucked up by not picking them up early on)
The Believers - Brontoursaurus
Helium - The American Jean 7"
Half Japanese - Half Gentlemen, Not Beasts
Scorces - S/T
Nurse with Wound - Chance Meeting on a Dissecting Table
Hanatarash - Hanatarashi; 2; 3; 4 Aids-A-Delic
C.C.C.C. - Flash

and any various colored vinyl of things i already have

Hanatarash is the only thing where i mentioned more then one, if only for the fact they rule all

i'd say $632.50 is worth it

which three?

i have been looking for the original 3 7" release for years.

Pussy Galore's Exile on Main Street tape.

Boredoms - Wow2
The Terminals - Little Things
The Terminals - Disease
Early Circle stuff - Meronia, Fraten, Pori etc... These are available in internet auctions every now and then, but I ain't gonna pay the prices they go for. I'm sure some of this stuff will eventually be reissued.
Cows - Effete and Impudent Snobs
Cows - Daddy Has a Tail
Cows - Cunning Stunts
Hammerhead - Evil Twin 10" (or the cd version of it)

fursaxa - s/t (bought at Terrastock 4 at the Eclipse records table)
bardo pond - test for new swords (bought at a show when it was new)
bardo pond/subarachnoid space - tigris/euphrates (wrangled from Camera Obscura)

you have this???

if you do--congratulations. awesome score.

i aim very low, there's like 10 000 albums i'd love to have but i don't keep a list for them, i've scored a few without much expectation and i think that helps.

i kick myself for not picking gn'r's appetite for destruction with the original cover but, then again, i like the second cover better.

Dream Syndicate - Medicine Show CD
Girls at our Best! - Pleasure CD
Shop Assistants - Shop Assistants CD

the first sy record - i have it but it was a gift i just wanted to go into a 2nd hand place and see it one day
metal machine music
a chance to cut is a chance to cure

I think I may have recently sold this!

How annoying of me to say so.

Feelies - Crazy Rhythms (I have a CD-R copy, but you know, it's somehow just not the same...)

Cows - Cunning Stunts

The Raincoats (s/t)

I got one of mine!


POLVO's Celebrate the New Dark Age on 3 7" vinyl records! In perfect MINT CONDITION! never played!
Numbered 0052!!!!! (out of 2000) Oh man I am creaming my pants. I got sonic cum spewing all over my office. OH GOD DAMMN How I wish I had a turntable at work.

and this was today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

constant ebay searches, day after day for an affordable copy, led me to this! $12 s/h included!

that destroy all monsters box set that i'm after was on ebay last week and it went for £45 which is more more that i can justify spending at the moment.

NO WAY! That's cheap for that box. It's on Amazon for about $300 from a marketplace seller. I think I might have paid £45 for that box.

that's a lot of dough for some records man!
destroy all monsters? gonna look it up.

Alabama Feeling
Harsh 70s Reality

Original PSF 3/4 Fushitsusha LP. I very nearly bought it off ebay for $120 the other day. I decided I'd rather eat this month.
also...
Fushitsusha - I saw it! That which before I could only sense.
Sun City Girls - 330,003 Crossdressers... + Torch of the Mystics
NNCK - Birth of Both Worlds
Parson Sound - s/t
Don Cherry - Orient
I'm pretty much always on the look out for any Haino, NNCK, and Sun Ra artificats that I don't already own.

i saw this for sale recently, although i can't remember where, i'll rack my brains and see if i can remember

Any of those BYG LPs from the early 70's. I only have the Sonny Sharrock one, and that kicks serious bottom.

Thanks to Pookie I don't need to worry about the Hammerhead one on my list anymore.
Brilliant.

Thursday is here!!!! yay! No more moving furniture and installing file shelving and shit! yay!!!!!
I got one of my musical holy grails on the ebay yesterday!!!

I have always wanted to own the three first EP's by pavement
Treble Kicker 7"
Demolition Plot J-7 7"
Perfect Sound Forever 10"

the problem is these go for a hefty sum, the treble kicker one can go for as huigh as $120, shit! so I ended up after years of trying, getting this one


for just $10.00!!!!!!! yaya!!!! cheap!!!!
pavement!

Which one is that? Monkey Pockie Boo?

since posting that i managed to get my hands on these 3

'Tis that, indeed. The idiot who owned it previously to me scribbled "Wierd" on the cover.

I want to get hold of Charalambides' Market Square at a reasonable price and mint condition one day. Two weeks ago I bought "Our Bed Is Green" (new) for $ 55. I was looking for that also quite long. Another one would be Wolfgang Ambros' Zentralfriedhof.

didn't our bed is green get reissued a year ago?

yeah, i bought it both on cd and vinyl, great stuff.

i downloaded it, and wasn't that into it, it's the only charalambides record i've heard so far that i haven't liked, i should try it again

how's moonblood, t&b? never heard of them but the name and album title are intriguing.

I think it was re-released in 2005 and I saw it on midheaven a few months ago for $ 27 or so, but hesitated too long. Then I saw it at e-bay and thought I must have it.

Was it reissued on Timelag? Their vinyl is pricey from the word go but they are usually beautiful items.
