Are they exact replications of the original, or do they not list a record label on them?

Do T-Shirts also count? I still have a Bloodbath T-Shirt with just the red logo at the front and the corpse at the back - I believe only 100 made?

Maybe not rare, but I always find it special to own 2 handnumbered cd's from Runemagick:

Envenom (digipack) #777/1000
Invocation of Magick (digipack) #665/999

t-shirts count.....there are super rare Macabre shirts and Agalloch shirts as well.

I've got that one too. I just listened to it again the other day. It rules! It's really weird that as soon as he returned to Elvenking he turned it into an emo band.

Agreed. I used to love them. Now I've given up on them unless they go back to the way they were.

 

[Jasonic]

T-shirts definitely count!!!!
eBay is proof that they DEFINITELY count!!!!

 

[SteelFireRecs]

I'm just going to keep adding things as I remember that I have them or rediscover them/

Impellitteri - I own the complete discography and they are all Japanese Imports, complete with OBI strips

Paul Gilbert - 5 or 6 albums which are all Japan imports with OBIs

Jeez I would not know to where to even begin making this list. At one time it was easy; Warrior, Leatherwolf, whatever releases. And Vanity 6 - s/t and The Time would have been toppers on a list, but now especially when re-issues show up values drop. Where is the going price on The Deluge now since it's reissue, debated on selling that off. But really I could not befin to make a list.
A few favs are Misfits - Live Evil green vinyl signed by all, original Warlord - Cannons... fanclub video, Jethro Tull cigar boxset, Iron Maiden singles boxset, Midnight autographed Crimson Glory albums (that I can't replave)

Yeah, I have much jealousy over that Maiden box.

I don't see the point of keeping a previous version of a disc if there's a newer, remastered version. I mean, I got enough for Hurricane's Over the Edge to cover all three of the new reissues.

I try to forget about that Hurricane issue then you go and bring it up.
And I like knowing I have CDs that have sold over a grand on eBay.

 

[Jasonic]

Wait? Hurricane as in, "Na Na Na Na Na Na.....I'm onto you" or "over you" or whatever?????

Some of us are trying to forget them!!!!
Do they seriously have a CD that goes for a grand?

I am sure there are plenty of chix I know from high school who have that CD somewhere.

Yes, that Hurricane. I love that stuff. And their disc went for about $40-50 before it was reissued. I'm not sure what Jeremy's $1K disc is.

 

[Jasonic]

I kind of remember them as the odd-band-out on ENIGMA at the time.
I remember they had a video or two.
That song was played a lot on the Chicago metal station.

They were pretty basic hair metal. I still love that stuff though. Their singer is now fronting Foreigner.

 

[Jasonic]

I did not know that about Foreigner.

Knowing is half the battle.

Manilla Road - The Deluge.
And I really lijke Hurricane, they are a great band. And I guess the chix thing is true; my girlfirend really can't get into hair bands and constantly makes jokes about Justin, Matt, and I listening to that stuff, but she loves some Hurricane.... Tyketto too.

 

[Jasonic]

If you ever want to trade the Deluge, let me know.
