Ormion Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Can we make a list of some of the rarest goa/psy cd/vinly releases ever? This one for example seems to be very rare since I get requests for sale/trade almost every month. Anything else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolmot Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Should we define rarity by supply, demand or their ratio? For example... - Koxbox Live at Burning Man 1996 was a test pressing estimated at 20 copies. Not that many people are looking for it actively. (It's a bit of gimmick item with only modest differences to released material.) Nevertheless, one copy sold on Discogs for $656. - Let's say mr. whoever self-releases a crap CDr and manages to sell five copies before quitting. It's very rare but not sought after. - IFO was released properly in multiple full pressings without any intended "limited edition" tricks or problems. Probably several thousands of copies exist. It's not rare in the absolute sense, but 440 discoggers have it on their want list at the time of writing, and VG copies go for 60e or something. So you can get a lot of requests for a reasonably well supplied item because even more people want it, or maybe just a few (very generous) offers by hardcore collectors for a truly obscure item. Both can be listed, but are you specially after absolute or relative rarity? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't consider IFO rare for example for the reason you just mentioned. But at the same time it must be by some 'legit' producer. I can release a 5 copies CDr myself that doesn't make it rare does it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penzoline Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 It does make it rare. Anything below 100 copies is damn rare. But that doesn't mean it will instantly be worth much at all. There's a ton of rare and sought after releases. Like http://www.discogs.c.../release/332369 Can't believe he's asking 1.2k out of it and it's only VG.. It's also interesting to note that apparently Auracle recordings still had a bunch of Crop Circle releases but they were destroyed. Thus the CD of Lunar Civilization is also incredibly rare. Some other's notable http://www.discogs.c.../release/826898 http://www.discogs.c.../release/546389 http://www.discogs.c.../release/328741 http://www.discogs.c.../release/345836 Pretty much whole blue moon productions, goddamn I wish the moon child album was better pressed. It's really amazing. As is Hunab-Ku. http://www.discogs.c...uctions+%282%29 -- I'm interested to know how do releases like Pleiadians inflate so much when there were thousands of copies pressed. Twice. Same goes for very average releases that go for 40+. Even bad one's can go for 100's.. And I mean seriously, these sellers who ask a lot of money know what they are doing. They are waiting for someone to cave in, they are looking to make a bigger buck; don't buy from them. It will only increase the chances that other sellers increase their prices I guess. I've noticed my short time of collecting that there are sellers who keep same releases at same prices for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pandemonium Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 1. Xenomorph-Cassandras Nightmare, I've been looking for this one for years. 2. U-Recken-Aquatic Serenade, This one is selling for $109.00 on Discogs. I want the cd because it is beutiful music but at the same time I dont understand why is so hard to find and highly expensive. 3. Ectima-Ground Defense, this one is virtually impossible to find unless I want to download it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
