ukiro Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 I was thinking, do any of you collect CDs only for the "rare" value, or is it only about having the music on CD? Are re-release worth less to you? 202681[/snapback] This depends on the type of collector - personally I consider myself a completist, meaning that I have this utopian dream of one day owning every goa trance release ever made. In this endless quest I value original releases higher than re-issues. However, I'm also a DJ and as such I would rather have the re-issue than not having a track at all. I can't play what I don't have... and while completist collectionism makes you end up with a fair amount of crap records, I *do* listen to them all. I have this policy of never putting a record in the shelf before I've played it through from start to finish at least once (which makes my girlfriend roll her eyes ;-). There are collectors who don't do this. When I go record hunting, which is pretty much a daily activity, I usually go for a rare but musically mediocre release before I go for one that can easily be found and is enjoyable listening to. This is because the rare one might not show up again in months or even years, so better to take the chance while it's there. I didn't always have this prioritization though, and as a consequence I missed some very nice opportunities. This I regret, so I'm trying to focus on the rarities now. Hence my fairly nice (but by no means huge) collection of super-limited vinyl mentioned in a previous post to this thread, for example. I also have that SFX cd that Kai-Q recently posted about as well as some more records that are almost unheard of. Oh, and what DeathPosture said =) It's almost a bit of sport hunting these original rarities down. It's odd, but record collecting gives me a sort of smooth rush... I guess its my drug.

Cinos Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 And what about me then? It doesn't matter. As long as I have the music and have paid for it, I feel complete. I'm like you, just a bit less so, as I really like buying all possible CDs and completing my collection, but the release date doesn't matter the least.

Mindtwister Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 Hmm..Might be "Jaïa - Blue Energy" released by Cross Record or Space Pussy EP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrome Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 The 2 tracks I have were released on the first POF cd-comp - "Nataraja vol.1". But you probably won't find them elsewhere: Joking Sphinx - cralacoffo Prana - mugen P.S.: There is also a strange comp-like album in my collection named X-Plore Sybernetic Concept "Finger's Memories".

ukiro Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 P.S.: There is also a strange comp-like album in my collection named X-Plore Sybernetic Concept "Finger's Memories". 203402[/snapback] WOW! I didn't know there was a full Odds album... I have the 12" on X-Plore but I thought that was the only release of this label... thanks for this tip, I'll try to dig this up for sure =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infra Posted November 26, 2004 Share Posted November 26, 2004 There's a coloured vinyl version of The Lone Deranger too, but I don't know much about it. I think it was purple/pink, and it was refered to as the "evil vinyl" at the label. This may well have been some sort of picture disc, I'm not sure. I think they made 100 copies of that version. 202664[/snapback] Hi, Well Iu have the The lone deranger, with gold and pink sprinkles... I think there is 100 copies of this... but i may have wrong ?

Chrome Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 Infinite Excursions 1 Hallucinogen - Space Pussy Juno Reactor - Beyond The Infinite 204062[/snapback] I have two of these: Juno & Infinite Excursions. But I think they are not so hard-to-find, as the Hallucinogen's EP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baas Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 just wondering how rare the Colorbox album is, I've never seen it around since I bought it back in the days 202012[/snapback] Hey X-scream. I am not 100% sure how many copied of our album that was made but I know that Hypnotic only made one batch. Or so they told us. I think around 500 ? But don't know for sure :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
