they're all pretty rare. i've probably got rarer stuff around somewhere.

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...

I've got a copy of Rien by Faust on vinyl. I just found it in a used record shop for $15, and despite the fact that it's my least favorite Faust album, I still think it's pretty rare. I mean, the regular Faust albums are like $90-$120 apiece for the vinyl nowadays, and Rien was released in the age of CD. I really doubt many of them were pressed...in fact I haven't found much indication that they even exist anymore.

Unfortunetly...that's pretty much it...

KMFDM - What Do You Know Deutschland? - the Skysaw Records version with different tracks and no text on the cover

UNKLE - Psyence Fiction - It's a CD version from Toy's Factory in Japan with a different box, the "hidden" intro track, and it's a promo version as well

got all of the Tinocorp Flexidisc series, too, but i'm not sure how rare those are

I have this test pressing of the Cure's lullaby on 12" It's remix stuff in addition, I have a test pressing of u2's the Ground Beneath her feet on Cd. I've never even seen it listed on the u2 sites as being available. I'm guessing it's fairly rare. Lot's of classic 12" stuff i picked up from the trash like the aforementioned Rollin Stones Zipper cover. It's amazing what people throw away.

i don't know if you can trust lazlo's discography..

but apparently the rowla/deep pan promo 12" single:
promo; x75 (JBO confirmed)

is a lot rarer than 'mother earth'....

so that's probably the rarest one that i have..

also the pearls girl (14996)/rowla (long version) 12" is said to
be:
[promo x80]

so that's pretty rare also..
