Glass version of PP on cassette has just dropped through my letterbox. It's took me a number of years to find a copy but I eventually got there after winning an auction on ebay. Just wanted to say in an age of 'so called' ltd editions/promos etc. such as the 'Cheapster' single and countless diff spiz samplers ltd. to a 1,000,000 copies a piece it was nice to track down something genuinely hard to come by.
Just need WWJ 12" W/L/T/P and Spiz Euro Boxset and I'm sorted !
Anybody else got any 'Holy Grails' that took them years to find or that they are still looking for?
Holy Grails
Moderators: sunny, runcible, MODLAB
Munster Dance Hall Favourites Vol 1, took me a very long time to get. I don't collect any cassettes and pretty much all I 'need' now are some PP cds on Genius.
I got a look at runcible's list a year or so ago and realized immediately that I'll never have it all, which was actually good. I haven't spent anything close to $75 on vinyl in a long time
Only Holy Grail as far as I'm concerned is that red Japanese lagwafis pillbox I saw a few years ago online. I've never been able to verify that it actually exists but I did see photos...

Euro boxset basically consisted of 3 standard issue cd's and an info sheet housed in a card box with a white ribbon around it. Cd's were LGM,Feels So Sad cd single and Medication cd single.clewsr wrote:what's the Spiz Euro Boxset? never heard of that...BVCP206 wrote: Just need WWJ 12" W/L/T/P and Spiz Euro Boxset and I'm sorted !
Re: Holy Grails
Approx £15 all in which I thought was pretty good for an item which enabled me to complete my standard issue SP3 'Glass' collection.Starfish wrote:Go on then, how much did it cost?BVCP206 wrote:Glass version of PP on cassette has just dropped through my letterbox.

It took me nearly ten years to get the Munster Dancehall 7" in both the black and pink covers... it's never ending though I'm now going through picking up the differing releases of the albumns on the various labels.
does Runcible still have a published list, if so is it online? I used to trade with him years ago.

The Munster 7" is very difficult to find. I acquired my pink copy some years ago, swapped it for the Stretcher Case Baby 7" by The Damned which I think in the long run was a good move. The black sleeve still eludes me although there are supposed to be more copies than pink ! Still I'll keep looking, after all it's half the fun !

oddly enough there was a spate of about 4 Munster 7" up for sale on Ebay about a year ago all in the space of a few months. It was bizarre. You are right tho' - it's what makes it all so much fun.
I've also been focussing on compilations that feature the odd Spacemen 3 track over the last couple of years and was thinking of posting a list on the web of what I've found to see if there are many more out there that people were aware of. Sometimes I do think I should get out more though...

Sadly I no longer trade or sell Spacemen stuff. Blame the bigger outlets. How can you compete when they offer new releases at a cheaper price than I could get them from a wholesaler for? It was a tough time.
Send me a private message sometime Mr Gandt - be nice to catch up. I have made some very close friends who used to buy and trade stuff with me - a few on this very board.
That Munster 7" took me an age to locate. The pink one is indeed the most tricky - I only ever had a very few to sell. The sad part is once you find shit like that you turn to idiotic items such as test pressings which were made in quantities of less than 10, or strange things such as coloured vinyls Pete K did as one offs. I think there are 5 copies of Drone Dream on luminous and clear, as well as 2 California Lullabyes on clear, and a crazy single copy on swirly clear and black.
We have entered the realms of the desperately anal kollektorskum as Chris Barrus used to call it... (http://www.spacemen3.info/kollektor.html) Sadly you can count me in.

Isn't it getting to the stage where fans can just create their own limited editions?
It must be very easy these days to run off 500 or so 7" singles from a CD recording. Dress them up in whatever sleeve you like and leak them out to a unsuspecting fan base.
"Rare, Australian import promo of Revolution for sale. 7" yellow vinyl, die-cut sleeve, not signed by Sonic Boom - £25"
And who's to say it would be any less valid. Bootlegs are sometimes more valuable than official recordings.

kor blimey.....some ofyou lot do go far too far,
i've got the glass 12"'s, which i never play and a pile of spacemen stuff, mostly discovered from powercuts in manchester (now sadly gone : morrissey used to work there).
the only unusual rarity I have is a poster advertising the spacemen and others at the benn hall, rugby, which was found in a drawer at my mothers school, and the posters for sounds of confusion and walking with jesus which will carruthers gave me.
and all the spiritualized stuff, but I gave up after completing pretty much everything from ladies and gents, like runcible, I've given up on the more modern stuff.
I've got a lovely promo copy of anyway that you want me, which runcible sold me for a fiver at the reading festival 1993 (complete with ear promotions pull out detailing the first spiritualized tour)......but nothing on the lines of the stereolab / sonic 7"

I'm sure this has probably been asked before but can someone clarify this for me? I thought it was a 10" of which there were 50 made? I've never come across the record for sale and only heard about the existence of it from chinese whispers from a few people I've spoken to in the past...andyblacktoo wrote:but nothing on the lines of the stereolab / sonic 7"
getting into sad territory again but it has always intrigued me.
scrap that - I've just read all about it on Chris's site - doh!

Imagine my surprise when The Arc Of The Covenant recently dropped through my letterbox !!
And I was about to reminisce about how I had all of them in a plastic bag in my office. The unprepared artwork was in plain form and I had to cut it up and insert it into the sleeves myself. spzretent saw them but declined to take one.

Unless I'm much mistaken I'm pretty sure that no.3 is the rarest as it has a hidden track on it.

I still couldn't rationalise spending that kind of cash on a record. Of course hindsight being 20/20 I would have taken the lot
I was just at someone's house in Phoenix who bid and won a Can Monster Movie orig lp w/poster. $1500! He wouldn't even show it to me. He said subsequent ones on ebay have gone for double that.
Its weird as fuck being out in Arizona on Martin Luther King Day. Its like they now go overboard out here. Like they are making up for lost time when they were the only state that refused to recognize it as a holiday.
Slowlife, keep your comments to yourself on this one.
The weather sure is nice. Too bad I am going back to 30 and snow tomorrow.

I know how you feel, as it took me ages to get my hands on this LP. I think you'll find it's worth the effort.

I have the full-colour poster of Kate holding the pill box and it is a regular size poster (about 2 ft x 3 ft). I've seen the subway posters your talking about and my friend has about 3 sections of it. We took them off the walls of a club that was promoting the LAGWAFIS album. I don't know what would happen if we had gotten caught ? I could plea intoxication of Jack Daniels and Coke ...
