I have that - I didn't know it was rare? I got it used from a store in Tallahassee.

I have a copy of The Orbs Suck My Kiss EP. Cost me a lot of dosh way back when.

Hmmm off the top of my head I cant really think of that many. A couple of Human League records, perhaps and some Depeche Mode rarities.

HL: Original copy of Being Boiled from 1978 with the newsprint label, the follow up Dignity Of Labour EP on 12" with the flexidisc.

DM: Some Bizarre LP from early 1981 featuring an early version of Photographic. DM's first ever release. Also had early Soft Cell, The The and Blancmange recordings on it too. And I seem to remember having a copy of Sometimes I Wish I Was Dead on red flexidisc also from 1981. I dont have the FlexiPop magazine anymore unfortunately but it had this ace picture of Dave Gahan in a coffin waving a cross at you.

The Cure's Lullaby on 3" CD is quite rare these days too.

Not necessarily valuable, but rare for sure.

Man, the rarest thing I have is a CD of my band's album as we've only made about 100 copies so far

As I'm pretty young I kinda missed out on getting all the rare LPs, now they just make CDs mostly instead. Still like to pick up good records down at the charity shops though.

uw - m.e./the hump

[big screen satellite]

ahem -

Underworld - Confusion the Waitress (Remix) 12" Acetate - only two made

plus loads of rare UW stuff...but i won;t bore you with details...

the Screen Gemz - I don't Like Cars / Teenage Teenage 7" single too

used to have loads of rare KLF 12" but I sold them all, original unwarped Last Traiun To Trancentral et al...

i had the 'banned' Electric Ladyland album, not mint though...

also once had the demo CD-R of Get Reday New Order with unedited tracks on it, sold it to the guy who runs worldinmotion.net - probably the biggest new order collector in the world....

lots of rare stuff has passed through me, most recently the Custerd EP 12"

but as i deal in records thats not a surprise i suppose...

ricardo villalobos - for disco only 2, 100 copies, signed by the man himself
