What is the rarest CD/Music album that you own?

[Democracy White]

Mine is the KLF: The White Room. Very rare and 15 years olds.

This album came out in 1990 just when we were starting to get into that house/club electronica music

Good shit back then and this album is truly something.

So tell us what yours is?

1. Probably Roy Wood's Boulders (nt)

[WCGreen]

2. A Couple of BEatles ALbums still on the Capital Label

3. I have a 4 song Beatles EP

from 1965 I think. I don't know if it's actually rare.

[Bluzmann57]

4. Once upon a time I would have said

Tommy Bolin's "Teaser", but now I'm not so sure. It seems to be a bit more easily available as of late. Bolin was an amazing guitar player. Most think of him as heavy metal, but that isn't true at all. Very eclectic. Maybe Doctor Hook and the Mediine Show's "Bankrupt"? It is hard to find.

5. Signed copy of the first

[SkipNewarkDE]

6. Um, the very first Hooters album, done...

... for an independent label, it's perhaps 20 years old now I guess, and signed... I'm friends with the rhythm guitar player, he likes my ears.

7. Are you the guy from that movie, "High Fidelity"?

Just kidding. Actually, I have some unusual stuff, but I don't know if it's rare. The weirdest thing is a Beatles singing "Ain't She Sweet" on a vinyl single on the Atco Records label.

I don't know what would count towards most unusual after that. Maybe another Beatles vinyl single, "From Me To You/Please, Please Me" flip sides, on the Vee-Jay Records label. Original, that's for sure.

I used to have a Beatles single of "My Bonnie Lies Over The Ocean," but a sneaky neighborhood kid talked me out of it at a house party. LOL!

8. 45 rpm of Bill Haley, "Rock Around the Clock"

Also Jerry Lee Lewis, "Great Balls of Fire" & some Les Paul & Mary Ford singles.
I bought them new in the 50's. And you guys think 15 years makes for an old disc?

[Coyote_Bandit]

9. Johnny Cash and His Hot and Blue Guitar

Sun Records 1956 I believe.

10. ONE of them that immediately springs to mind:

Very, very, VERY rare. Came out right before "Freedom," the album that returned Young from the hellish exile known as "The Geffen Years."

Eldorado
(April 17, 1989 Reprise 20P2-2651)
Neil Young & The Restless

Cocaine Eyes 4:24
Don't Cry 5:00
Heavy Love 5:09
On Broadway 4:57
Eldorado 6:03

Produced by:
"The Volume Dealers" (aka Neil Young & Niko Bolas)

Musicians:
Neil Young: vocals, guitar
Chad Cromwell: drums
Rick (The Bass Player) Rosas: bass

Notes:
This is a 25 minute EP. The tracks were intended for an album called Times Square, which made it as far as some radio copies being released before Neil cancelled it.
The story from Neil is that was afraid that since this was not a real "radio" album, he would get a lot of shit about it. Also, he just wanted to be able to release some new songs without having to promote them. So, he picked 5 songs from Times Square to put on an EP and released the EP exclusively in Australia and Japan.
"Don't Cry", "On Broadway", and "Eldorado" also appear on the fully released Freedom album, but they are slightly different versions from this EP. The other two songs are good, and are worth getting if you ever find this disc.

Neil said once in a radio interview that if anyone really wants a copy of this EP, they can tape it from a friend.

11. Great EP.

:thumbsup:

[Elidor]

12. I have a cassette of the very first Styx album

Serpent Is Rising. It has this wild piece on it called Krakatoa that was worth the price. The title track is okay, too. Most of the rest sucks.

[johnnie]

13. I have a few

I don't remember all of them, but I'll mention a few

Elvis: 78 "All Shook Up" / "That's when your Heartaches Begin"

Hank Williams: 78 To be honest, it's at my parent's still. I forgot the songs.

David Bowie: CD "ChangesOneBowie" on RCA before he had them discontinued

A bunch of cool Beatles on Vinyl: 1962-1966 and 1967-1970 on red and blue vinyl, The White album on white vinyl, 45 of "Thank You Girl" on Vee-Jay, A load of Capitols and Apples.

Alice In Chains: Double vinyl "Sap" and "Jar of Flies" unopened.

Truthfully, I know I have others that are rarer than these, but I would have to go through everything to see which is my "rarest".

14. you wouldn't have heard of it

:-)

[lovelaureng]

15. We own 6 or 7

Zeppelin albums. All in really good condition. I don't really know how rare they are though. They may be more available than I know.

[khashka]

16. KaTe Bush singles

where she scratched messages into the vinyl. So fucking cool!

I've got four of them.

Khash.

17. Probably some old Beatles stuff, though I don't know how "rare."

I have some of their old albums, some in mono and others labeled "STEREO" because it was fairly new at the time. I also have several Beatles singles with picture sleeves, including "I Want to Hold Your Hand."
