Rare/collectable physical music

OK, Sup Forums.

So I've been a huge Swans fan for like, 20 years.

Listening to Soundtracks for the Blind.
Noticed the quality isn't too great. Had a look and it was only in 192. I like to pride myself on having a collection of music that is almost entirely 320 or higher.
Went browsing the internet to find better copy to torrent. Stopped for a moment and tried to remember if I had it on CD. Think I do.
Went to the study to check. There it is. Original 1996 copy, maybe only been touched once or twice before.
Opened it up carefully, and ripped both CDs. While I was waiting, I took the insert out to have a read etc.
>contact information for Michael Gira.

Put the booklet down, and go get myself a drink. Pour at my desk.
Notice after, I splashed one drop on my drink on the otherwise mint booklet. Drink was a "Desperados" brand larger.
Mark still there and will probably be there forever now.

Feels so so bad, man.

Pic related. Photograph of my sadness.
>had to scale it down as 4mb limit.


Anyway, cheer me up with some rare collectables you own, Sup Forums.
Share your rare LPs, CDs, whatever you are proud of owning.

Alternatively, share some cringe stories regarding collectables.

what you do is take a lighter's flame to the mark and it will disappear

I found the original CD pressing of White Light for like 8 bucks the other day; no idea why it was priced so low, but the store was incredibly disorganized so I guess it may have been there awhile.

it's god's punishment for drinking tequila-flavored beer

actual swans fan

Yeah I have a copy.

I've found the value of some of these CDs fluctuate violently. Also it could be an indication of how it isn't an original press...? Either way, you should snap that bitch up. Good one to own, as it looks really nice too.

I actually quite like it.

>jewel case
yuck

will start posting all my "rare" albums

My swans collection
>Tgm was pre ordered so signed by gira

my greek toed brother

My copy of Soundtracks is signed by the big man himself. Hopefully, that makes you even more miserable.

My gybe collection, quite proud of finding these. They all have rather interesting packaging if anyone wants more pics just ask and I'll oblige

I actually don't own any nu-swans, but I'll gather what I have and take a photo.

Why would that make me miserable?
Met him on multiple occasions, and am not a fan of signed memorabilia.
Pretty terrible man.

Got these lads :^)

I want YOUR package baby, but really could you show the packaging for f# a# infinity

in my experience trout meme is actually kinda uncommon

i've got trout meme, ecstasy and wine, and don't the kids just love it, pylon's two good albums, and in the presence of nothing, all on cd

OP here.

I guess this is the only really notable other Swans CD I have. Rest are either smashed up originals I've had forever, or some reissues.

Some guy gave 20 copies of this record away on here and I got one of em. 412/500

SFTB on CD? Nice. I have GREED on CD. The original pressing. Bought it back in the early 90s.

don't want to be a dick but besides the fact that there's obviously one missing, the cd releases ans that hard to find, maybe the older ones but even those aren't that special

not sure why it flipped on its side, but I'll look for more.

50 year anniversary music

Im a broke college fag atm so all my money is strictly for groceries and bills until I get a new job

Uncommon and/or just mu core I thought were notable to post

Not necessarily rare but I got some memes

Forgot this one
>Promo copy mpp

I have the CD of Monoliths and Dimensions
Packaging is pretty neat, wonder what the vinyl is like

Making Orange Things reissue on transparent orange vinyl. Turns out there was only 500 of these printed or something. One of my favourite Snares albums too. Quite proud of it.

Never seen any NSB fans, but these are pretty special to me. They tend to only sell merch at their gigs.
Been to a few.

This is about the rarest I got in terms of CDs ( I only got about 14)

>must be surrendered upon request

i know it is a legal thing and would never happen, but imagine.

Not 100% sure if this is super rare or not but I own the version of kid a with the hidden booklet

>radiohead fan
>calling other people plebs lmao

what do you mean hidden booklet?

original pressing of the first talking heads single signed by all the members (except jerry harrison because he wasnt in the band yet at that time) found it in a dollar bin

Who /boxset/ here?

It contains a booklet that is hidden behind the tray that holds the disk. You pop it out and there is a book containing artwork and some lyrics.

And another one.

like this?

where you get tms from, brother?

i got some hardcore plebcore:

Not exactly, the hidden one is folded and stapled like a normal booklet. A quick google search for it will let you see it's contents. I'm too lazy to take a picture of all the pages lol

damn mine doesnt have that. nice get

Thanks, found it at a shitty used cd store and also bought the rest of Radiohead's discography, it was a pretty good find for such a crappy store

Haha that's a fun album, I got the Rossz repress tho because that's the only one I could find :'(

discogs.com/Various-No-1-Contender-Summer-Sampler/release/8564678

Promotional tape from 1995 for a long dead clothing brand I collect. My copy is still sealed.
Items from the brand are incredibly rare and I'm proud of my collection. I made the entry on discogs for the tape.

I also recently sold my first pressing copy of Heccra - White Eagle. That would have counted for this but oh well.

rare WU LYF vinyl I own

>mfw found the out-of-print Person Pitch vinyl on mint condition

I have the original CD version of Danse Manatee. The silk screen cover is really really cool. I smudged Lablakely Dress a little bit on the back. Kinda sucked for a second, but then I realized how fucking cool that is.

...

*goes to the RYM thread once*

Don't feel too bad about it. Sure that sucks that you damaged it, but it could be worse.

Anybody remember that time a guy had an original pressing of White Light / White Heat and he fucking sat on it and snapped it in half? A lot worse than a spill for sure.

they wouldn't have gotten the magazine too t b h

Bought this sort of large, black CD today. I tried putting it in my CD player but it didn't fit, so I tried cutting the edges off with a pair of scissors but I gave up. I'll try again tommorrow.

been looking for tmr on cd for a while

motherfucker.

anyway

Just got live from death valley in the mail on cassette the other night, proud of it but no pic unfortunately

jesus christ

some of my better stuff, nothing too rare

I own the first two Mars Volta records, both the respective original pressings, they're probably my pride and joy

lol gy!be vinyl and cds aren't rare at all

too bad they're shit

that was only in the first pressings if I recall correctly
I used to have it
I love the weird as fuck art in the hidden book

It's okay user, we can't all have good taste

I unintentionally got a copy of Christ.'s Blue Shift Emissions signed from a seller on discogs. I bought it because it was the cheapest NM copy and it had no mention of the signature in the description. Only after I had ordered it did the seller bother to tell me about the signature, asking me if it was alright (which I said yes to of course, because it's pretty fucking cool.)
what do you mean by silk screen case? sorry if I sound like an idiot here, but I'm not sure what that would be like.

taiwanese electric ladyland
The packaging is fucked by there's no scratches on the lp

these arent rare but heres my swans
most are signed by gira

I have a couple of rare things

Warraw is probably my most treasured possession.

Koko promo 1/300

Time Machines II

I snagged one of the Skin Crime box sets. Really want to get the Sonambient one

no way

I wonder if any else here has this - someone actually made a discogs entry for it which is cool. Saw these guys live and they split my fucking head open, picked this up without even thinking about it, so glad I did.

1/2
This is my Swans collection
