What SY rarities do you wish you could find?????
 

I love fucking goddamn sonic youth. I love what they're about, and how they do it.

I have a fairly extensive SY collection (not quite as massive as some of the freaks on this board! jealousy!) but even with what I have and enjoy there are some select items, some rarities, that I wish I could find in good condition.

These include

WALLS HAVE EARS vinyl

The KALI YUG EXPRESS EP that came with the French pressing of Murray Street

SILVER SESSIONS CD


what rarities do you want to get your hands on????

The main ones I'm still looking for are the (Over) Kill Yr Idols 7", the Flower 7" & Halloween II. None are super-super-rare, but always tend to go for slightly more than I'm willing to pay. I'll get 'em eventually.

Other than those, I'd love the pink SST EVOL & purple Sister, but again, I'm not going to drop $200+ on them.

Oh, and the gatefold NZ Sister. And that Japanese DDN. One day...

how the F do you not have Silver Sessions CD????? Weird.

I still want the Walls Have Ears or Sonic Youth Sound Experience silver CD bootleg.

I also still need the Whores Moaning EP. I had it years ago, but lost it. :(

and the Sensational Fix book/7''s.

I think that's the main stuff I'm still after.

Is the promo video of Stereo Sanctity still a rarity? I might upload it to youtube if there's enough request.

never seen stereo sanctity!

I have a downloaded copy of silver sessions from the SY website, but I want the actual CD

the one I REALLY REALLY want is the Kali Yug Express EP

Kali Yug here too.

is Silvoer Sessions rare or smething though? I'm surprised you dn't have it. I've had it since it came out.

Lightnin'

never seen silver sessions available anywhere.

you can buy it in the store Rob!

I gave up the thought I'd ever find this for less than eightbaglockthousand dollars.

well fuckity fuck me
THANKS!

payday next week! the fiancee will have feedback shoved in her delicate ears!

same here.

PLEEEEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!:(

congrats, bro.

OK. I'll upload Stereo S. ASAP (this weekend) dedicated to Rob (hope you're felling better after the surgery) and CHOUT (thanks for the amazing Hüsker Dü footage that you share on youtube!)

Thanks for asking. I am feeling much better. Been eating better. Have lost about 20 lbs.

Rob, I didn't know you had surgery?

nothing too crazy.
doc found 3 abdominal hernias. my job entails a LOT of lifting and heavy furniture moving at times and it was starting to get uncomfortable.
Took 2 weeks off work, got cut up laproscopically (10 different entry points) and they popped my intestines back in and put a plastic "mesh" to make sure nothing pops out of place again.
the worst fucking part was that, right after my surgery, I tried to sit up to go pee and ended up severely spraining my shoulder, becaus I could not lift myself with my abdomen (like a sit-up)
my shoulder hurt fucking hellish.

and the darvocet they gave me did wonders for my abdomen surgery pain but NOTHINg for my shoulder.

but now it has been 6-7 weeks and I am back to lifting shit all day.

ahhh, the australian double orange dirty in the cloth sleeve. I want that TOOOOOOOO

I love my music too but this obsession with albums makes me scratch my head. especially the mark ups.

I NEED the artifact

I third (?) the request for the STEREO SANCTITY video, even the band didn't remember it when i showed them the vidcaps on my site...

I don't consider myself a huge collector, more of a collector of information... though I do aim to have all of the major items on vinyl (I realize now that I'm only missing 'NYC Ghosts' of the full-length LPs, and I missed my chance to buy a cheap one on eBay, doh..). If I saw 'Walls Have Ears' in a store for $60 or less I'd snap it up easy, I just love the artwork and everything about it...

BTW, is the album even supposed to be called 'Walls Have Ears'? The spine just says "This record is called.... WALLS HAVE EARS This record is called.... THE SONIC YOUTH SOUND EXPERIENCE This record is called .... NOT 1", and in the liners it says "This record is called "This Time, The Last Time + Here's To The Next Time" and credits it as a 'Wallz-Have-Earz Production'....

oops you gotta click the link to the 'SST over 35 vids...' comp to see the SS screencap.

I have never even seen a walls have ears in real life.

I found WHE in a record co-op for $25, I think about a minute apart from finding a Zensor copy of CIS (with the wrong lp labels) for $18 in an adjacent bin. This was a while ago...I don't think this would be likely to ever happen again - my best dual record score ever.

I had a similar experience with my Walls Have Ears. I was browsing in a secondhand record shop and found Butthole Surfers "Double Live". I couldn't resist buying it... I walked towards the counter, and as I did so, on a shelf to my left, I saw Walls Have Ears, just sitting there, looking at me seductively, like some Amsterdam whore. There was no way I could refuse.

i saw 'double live' once, with all the inserts, and couldn't afford it at the time. :(

finding them both simultaneously would be too good to be true!

Double Live is great. got it with inserts and without

Kill Yr Idols
Flower/Halloween 12"
Whores Moaning
Helen Lundeberg/Eyeliner 7"

I don´t know are these rare in USA, but they´re quite rare in Finland. Never seen any of them.

I think Boomkat.com still carries the HL/E 7".

Edit: out of stock (http://boomkat.com/vinyl/21645-sonic...berg-eyeliner), but still easily available at http://www.discogs.com/sell/list?rel...rt=price%2Casc.
