Favorite RARE album you own?

[MadTinus]

You'd better cherish it or if you don't care about it, put it up for auction on eBay and get some major cash for it, people pay insane amounts for that thing.

 

[Stoner Sioux]

Witches-3.2.1
Promisqes-Monarchy Of Evil
Demonic Christ-Punishment for Ignorance
Thorr's Hammer-Dommedagsnatt

 

[Soul_Schizm]

Yeah, I've got the Emperor/Enslaved split, too.

Another one I forgot to mention is Vicious Rumors Word of Mouth, because it was made right before Carl Albert's death, I had to buy it directly from the band, and I never see it listed anywhere anymore. Vicious Rumors has always been hit and miss for me, but there are a few good songs on that album and it never really saw the light of day. Very cool packaging, and a nice VR sticker was included too.

LOL. It's true. I sort of like finding an underground gem that nobody else knows about. I'm weird though--I admit it

[A Journeys End]

So much stuff has been re-issued lately its hard to say whats rare anymore

 

[Mad Dog]

Yeah, it's really hard to tell what is rare and what is not. Especially for me, cause I never gave a fuck about how rare something is but only how good it is. But I guess these are not so easy to find anymore:

Bolt Thrower - The Peel Sessions
Cynic - Focus
Demolition Hammer - Tortured Existence
Demolition Hammer - Epidemic Of Violence
Disincarnate - Dreams Of The Carrion Kind
Exhorder - Slaughter in the Vatican
Exhorder - The Law
plus a vinyl-version of Sodom's Obsessed By Cruelty and a Picturedisc of their Expurse Of Sodomy-EP

Tool - untitled picture vinyl with Sober, Opiate, Prison Sex, and... one more song, forgot which one.
Future Sound of London - Dead Cities w/ 196 page booklet
Future Sound of London - ISDN original release w/ foldout packaging.
Cradle of Filth - Cruelty and the Beast gravestone edition
Danzig III - limited box set w/ video
Carcass - Tools of the Trade EP
King Crimson - lots of those 30th anniversary vinyl-styled CDs

These must be my favorites because they're all I can think of right now.

 

[Soul_Schizm]

True. There's still a few out there that I doubt will ever be re-released.

 

[erik@digitalmetal]

ive got the original sabbat "dreamweaver" on vinyl and cd. man thats hard to find now.

It depends on what version it is. The DSP, which came out in '93, usually goes for around $75-$150 I think. The original version, which came out in 1000 copies in 1987, (on some obscure label I can't remember the name of right now) is much rarer! I've only seen it at Ebay once and it got sold for £235!! I think I've seen it once more there, but it didn't get sold (reserve).
You should take this into consideration as well as the condition of the record. According to the English magazine Record Collector a record in mint condition is twice as valuable as a record in very good condition. It's hard to find a mint condition record and if you played it more than once (and the record played absolutely 100% perfect with not a single amount of noise on the entire record) it isn't in mint condition anymore!

On subject; I also have a fully autographed Mayhem "Mediolanum capta est" picture disc!
I also have that Darkthrone cd with "Norsk arisk black metal" on the back. It's not that super rare though. Maybe $25 or something. I also have no. 2 out of 1000 of Arcturus' "Aspera hiems symfonia". It would of course have been more fun if it had been no. 1, but I still think it's pretty fun to have no. 2 (although it doesn't matter shit).
I also have my biggest idol Lee Hazlewood's first lp "Trouble is a lonesome town" in the original first print (stereo) from 1963. A guy I know sold it for 350 Kroner (approx. $51), but I saw the mono copy (was advertised to be in near mint condition, but I doubt that) on Ebay get sold for $112.50. I kind of paid that amount in Kroner on Ebay in Germany, so that was nice! .
I also have his "20th Century Lee" from 1976. It was sold at Ebay a couple of weeks ago for $107.50. I also have his "Movin' on" from '77 and I paid 20 Kroner for that one (approx. $3). It was sold at Ebay yesterday for $52.70! In Denmark it usually books for 150 Kroner ($22).
I wouldn't consider any of these records among the best I have though. The "Movin' on" lp is a terrible record. The only good stuff on it had already been released on "Forty" and "Requiem for an almost lady".
I've also just seen another record by the Maestro himself get sold at Ebay. You might want to check the price out: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2510737627&category=1598
