Scratchcratchratchatch Rare

Curiosity sparked. What is the rarest album, CD, boxset etc. Rare meaning fewest copies exist (not $$$ -- that can be another thread -- oh if this has been done before, please link away. I did not find it in my search) I guess we can divide this up into: a) items that were limited # released in first place. B) items that are just rare (mistakes, pulled albums, test pressings.) c) stuff you just think did not sell very much At All! ―, Monday, 15 March 2004 15:24 (thirteen years ago). I've got loads of singles that had limited runs of 1000-2000 so I suppose they are quite rare.

But it's also quite common for indie releases to be released in those numbers. I guess the rarest (in terms of price) will be the Hello Operator 7' by the White Stripes released just before White Blood Cells became really big. The rarest record I own is probably this art project by this local artist/musician called Spunkle. He did this thing called the Prepared Vinyl Project, where he painted 7' singles, so you can't actually listen to them. I don't know how many he did, but I guess every single one was different.

It smells lovely though. ―, Monday, 15 March 2004 15:36 (thirteen years ago). I have a number of vinyl-only releases that were issued in runs of 200 to 500 (Nurse With Wound, Oren Ambarachi), and then a ton of electronic producers put out limited edition CD-Rs in runs about that size. Though of course the vinyl rarities are a little more special b/c probably no one will ever take the time to rip them to MP3. I have a Movietone 7-inch that I believe was pressed in a run of 100, and then Modest Mouse's 'Birds v. Worms' single was either 500 or 1,000 (at one time that single was going for $70 on eBay, but probably not any more.) ―, Monday, 15 March 2004 15:40 (thirteen years ago). Ford Repair Manuals Chilton. Off the top of my head, a lot of lathe-cut stuff (Boyracer 5', various Earworm releases, Freed Unit EP, Jonathon Whiskey triple single which was limited to 149 copies).

A lot of these are things which wouldn't sell 150 copies anyway, though. I don't know what Stewart Anderson means by 'I can no longer manage to produce a CD that makes triple figures' (see - money or number of units?), but it looks as if anyone who has bought a recent 555 release owns something very limited. ―, Monday, 15 March 2004 15:46 (thirteen years ago).
