I recently filled a wish to get the Sonic's catalog on vinyl, at least some of it. Found "Boom" at the local record-shoppe.

Goo is actually stunningly good on vinyl...

Two different bands -
Boom is the Sonics ('60s rock band)
Goo is Sonic Youth.

D'oh!! Shame on me; I should know the Sonics; a buddy of mine put "Psycho" on a comp for me. I'm thinking it was either Shecks, or a Mojo comp CD which had the song...

Although you can see how it's an easy mistake to make; for all I know, Sonic Youth might have an obscure vinyl release called Boom...

i'm not much of a fetishist, but there are a scant few i do lust over...

starflyer 59 - the drop 7" - i had a mail order in for it while it was still available and got my check back with a note that it was out of print. it now sells for somewhere in the neighborhood of $130 on ebay.

the entire rhino D.I.Y. series - i have power pop vol. 1 on cd and l.a. punk on cassette, but would love to have the entire series on cd. they're all out of print and mostly pricey.

the left banke - there's gonna be a storm how this one hasn't been properly reissued is beyond me.

guns n' roses - appetite for destruction [original release lp or gold edition cd] supposedly the sonic quality is leaps & bounds different from the cassette / cd releases i've owned. i must know for myself.

One recent record I picked up via ebay was Having Fun with Elvis On Stage, a compilation of all of the King's between-song banter that Col. Parker put together as the first release on his own record label. It's unlistenable. And hilarious.

This is one title that I look for when visiting used record stores and the occassional garage sale.

Thought of another one:
Boss Hogg-"Drinkin' Letchin' & Lyin"
A rockin' e.p. with Christina naked on the cover. Of course, I want it just for the songs...

The Beatles-"Yesterday & Today" (butcher cover)
The infamous butcher shot. I'd proudly frame this baby if I owned it.


My aunt, a Beatles fanatic, has this. Its awsome, she has it nicely framed on her wall. I sometimes jokingly tell her I'm going to steal it from her. That is one hard album to find.

I have one word for you: EBAY

Item #4800814400 - Game Theory - Lolita Nation

I'm not a record collector, but I play one on occassion. There are a few albums in rock history that I wish I could get my geeky little hands on. Some are verified collector's items. Others I just waited too late to get and then they sadly fell out of print. Here's a chance for GloNo'ers to list the albums they most desire. If it's readily available, then save it for Santa. This list is for that hard to find item that you peruse Ebay for or get kicked out of the record store because you always end up drooling on the counter.
My list:

The Beatles-"Yesterday & Today" (butcher cover)
The infamous butcher shot. I'd proudly frame this baby if I owned it.
Game Theory-"Big Shot Chronicles" & "Lolita Nation"
Two classic late 80's power-pop albums from Scott Miller & company. I retardedly bought them on cassette when they were first released. The cassettes eventually died, the albums fell out of print, and now I'm hoping some label re-issues the entire Game Theory catalog. Until then, I'm wishin' for 'em...
Opal-"Early Recordings"
Before Mazzy Star, there was Opal. They released one album on SST ("Happy Nightmare Baby") and then disbanded. Rough Trade then released a collection of demos before they went bankrupt. Another one of those cassette purchases that I now regret.
The Stooges-"The Complete Fun House Sessions"
Rhino Handmade's box set of the classic second album from The Stooges. Every note from the session is included and many of the songs are repeated. I don't care. I want it. But only 1,500 were made and copies are fetching high cash on Ebay.
