ironic on the timing, anybody out there who's a diehard polvo fan and still doesn't have their first album (Jesus Christ records #001), well here ya go. i can't afford this shit! over $30?!?!? i've already got the mp3's.

I have a Thurston Moore 10" called "Lydias Moth/Not Me" with a picture of Twiggy on the cover. I imagine it's rare because I've never seen it again. Never even heard the folks at the Sonic Youth message board mention it.

I dont collect or anything, but in about 10 years time Sonic Youth completists will be looking for it.

im guessing mine was some lame oop screamo nonsense. maybe orchid/pig destryer split.

the first record i ever bought was KISS though, i think that makes up for it :p

Not my first, but most recent, and it's Chicago-related!

I bought a record by Don L. Lee called "Rappin' & Readin'."



It's a privately pressed record on Broadside (LP BR-1). Don is on some Black Nationalist vibe, reading poetry, and generally shedding light. He's got a charming voice.



Searching for Don Lee didn't turn up much, but I learned he changed his name to Haki R. Madhubuti and released two other spiritual jazz poetry records called "Rise Vision Coming" and "Madasi."

Lee/Madhubuti was a Chicago cat who released a slew of small-run books as well as the three lps. The latter were released on the Nation House label, an empowerment cooperative based in both Chicago and DC.

Madhubuti/Lee is still very active in the literary world and he owns and operates the successful Third World Press in Chicago.

I recently ordered cd reissues of his two latter albums as well as a book of poetry. Check him out, he is a solid guy.

EVERYTHING is hard to get in australia.
and expensive.
im stoked to find records that are currently in print at my local record store.

Depending on your perspective on collectibility, either the Archers of Loaf - Vitus Tinnitus 10" or the Dub Narcotic Sound System - Fuck Shit Up 7".

I have a copy of "Meet the Beatles" on Parlaphone that was actually a pre-release DJ copy and the label is hand typed with 'the Beatles' misspelled on the label. I actually got it for 'free' kinda in a 'record collection for rent' trade in collage.

Also, I bought Shellac's "The Futurist" on Ebay for $810. (just kidding...)

You were in a collage? Or do you just mean the human collage we call life?

A first pressing of White Light/White Heat with all the typos on the back and the distortion not toned down like the CD. It was about $50, and still had wrap on it (it wasn't sealed, though) and a price sticker. The distortion wasn't turned down, but the quality was shit.
