Current Most Sought After Record...

batreleaser · 06.24.2009, 12:41 PM

For me, its the Scarcity of Tanks lp "No Endowments".

Been searching for this fucker since I read this review:
SCARCITY OF TANKS: No Endowments LP/CS (TOTAL LIFE SOCIETY) Damn, this tape smokes. I mean it's practically a Saccharine Trust tribute album, but that's a pretty admirable target and Scarcity of Tanks hit a bullseye. Matthew Wascovich, whom you may know from his Cleveland-based Slow Toe imprint, writes and voices the fightin' words and, I assume, plays the screeching and cutting guitar (actually a little more Mark Morgan than Joe Baiza to these ears). No credits so I don't know who the rhythm section is but it is most definitely bass and drums and the players are going for it.(UPDATE: The album features a few different lineups, featuring members from Cleveland bands "x-blank-x, ugly beauty, my dad is dead, prisonshake, pufftube, numbskull, self destruct button," and none other than Weasel Walter contributing guitar, bass, and drums... vinyl version coming out in December soon!)

I saw them live with Bloodyminded once and they really do rip, the comparison to Saccharine Trust is fitting, as the sound resembles that band at its most deconstructed and frantic, which if you ask me, is when they were at thier best. Aside from a few tracks I downloaded, I havn't been able to find this fuker anywhere, not in casette of lp format, its a total drag.

My current most-sought-after LP is the Russian bootleg of daydream nation

Sheriff Rhys Chatham · 06.24.2009, 03:02 PM

It's a 7 inch import, though I can get it I just don't know if I want to drop $15 on a two track record.
white vinyl - 100 copies sold out
black vinyl - 400 copies, quickly going.

Hmmm.... I think it's still Gate - The Lavender Head 2LP.

Go careful with that. I have a re-issue, and it doesn't have the lock groove and it's mastered quite poorly. I haven't heard an original edition (I think it was only the first pressing that had the lock-groove on side 4) but the one I have isn't really worth it. Although, it is preferable to the CD version.

I've got one. Locked groove and all
How much would you be willing to pay?

viewtiful_alan · 06.24.2009, 05:08 PM

As for me:
The Sonic Youth/Mudhoney Split 45'

Rob Instigator · 06.24.2009, 06:45 PM

I spoke too soon, earlier

I desperately need to find the French Kali Yug Express 10"

radarmaker · 06.24.2009, 07:08 PM

The one I've been looking for the longest is probably an original Home Of The Hits pressing of the 1st Modern Lovers LP.

Are you a discogs.com member Rob? There's 4 copies for sale in the marketplace there: http://www.discogs.com/sell/list?rel...d=659435&ev=rb

viewtiful_alan · 06.24.2009, 07:33 PM

no wait that 7 inch is my 2nd most sought, but thanks for the link, its on my items watching list.

My real pick is Sub Pop 100

Derek · 06.24.2009, 07:36 PM

There is a typo on the B side label: text reads © 1892 Savage Conquest. I realize the Youth ain't that young no more, but don't think they date back to the 19th century.

The Earl Of Slander · 06.24.2009, 08:12 PM

I guess it would probably have to be Cecil Taylor - Nefertiti, the Beautiful One Has Come, the double or the triple vinyl editions...

narlus · 06.24.2009, 09:06 PM

i have these.

I have the double vinyl. I have blown minds with it

Shifty Prophet · 06.25.2009, 09:42 AM

I always draw a blank when this question is posed, even though I have a dozen 45's and lp's I want, I can never come up with a title that is that rare or hard to find.
