The 10 Rarest Albums I Own | Talking About Records

[@kevinjohnson8220]

I actually remember Tripping Daisies being played either on CFOX or COAST in Vancouver back in the early 90s The rarest LP I have so far appears to be a 1965 copy of Beatles: Help! The Original Soundtrack. I think what contributes to it's rarity is that it's a Canadian pressing and it's also in stereo. But from what I can tell there's only one available for sale and it's never been sold on discogs

Hello GI! Man you have some really great records! I don’t own any of these obscurities you’ve shown here However I am a huge fan of Tripping Daisy and have been since living in Dallas back in the late 80’s and I did pick up the Good Records release of Jesus Hits Like an Atom Bomb and I love that record! I have a co-creator that I work with on my videos who still lives in the Dallas area and we shop in Good Records quite often. Him there physically and me on Face Time! LoL! I will have tip him off about your shop so we can stop in! Thanks for sharing these great rarities! Peace ⚡️🖖👽⚡️

An album that heralded the beginning of the Grunge Apocalypse. Oh, good for you!!!

[@EarlOfCricklewood]

My rarest according to discogs is probably my “Well At Least It’s British” by Alan Klein, the CDs pretty easy to get, but I think there’s a little over 20 owners on discogs, great album

[@johnreuter4916]

Bought my 1st pressing of the Stooges for a dollar in the cut out bin. I am one of the old geezers but mine is one of the 207. Have a first pressing of Funhouse too. Used to trip to that one all the time.

[@angaudlinn]

Go list that test pressing now. That's how we get the site working for us. :D I think my "best" ratio between haves and wants is: 7 vs. 283, or 1 vs. 120, a test pressing and an acetate. But I do own other one-offs as well that people have tried to buy from my collection. I guess it's easier with "narrow" taste.

[@shortfuseartstudio]

I have Linnea Quigley's Horror Workout on green and pink vinyl with yellow splatter. Only 2 people claim to own it. I'm gonna get her to sign it when I meet her again in December.

[@maryhelenbuchele7342]

I would love the Audioslave album but I have the Shinedown deluxe edition of Sound of Madnnes only 500 world wide was made. It was only released through the bands website last time I looked on discogs it wasn't available in the USA. It goes for over 600 when available I payed 200.

[@faustus67]

My local record store gave me a promo copy of Sonny Rollins: Freedom Suite. Awesome album and cleaned up well. Just checked - 3 people on Discogs on it. The value is I suspect not accurate - only one copy has been sold and that was for almost £200.

[@NTXVinyl]

Nice!

[@raggeragnar]

Hahaha , I am one of the ”Wants” on both Deep six and Audioslave’s Revelations.

[@NTXVinyl]

haha I feel ya.

[@doodahdavesrecords4319]

Hi GI

[@cheapcheerfulrecordcollect8071]

Jesus Hits Like An Atom Bomb song originally released in 1950 by Lowell Blanchard with The Valley Trio. I know of it because it’s on a soundtrack for a documentary called Atomic Cafe from 1982. Definitely worth searching for.

[@NTXVinyl]

That's incredible! Had no idea where that title came from. Appreciate the info

[@Mr._Mints]

12:31 - As a Midwesterner who used to visit Terre Haute every now and when visiting my grandparents in a nearby small town, I must inform you that “Haute” is pronounced “hote.” As in, rhymes with “note” or “remote.”

[@NTXVinyl]

Ahhh thank you! 🙏🏻

[@JoshManship-qi1sq]

Found at a flea market in MN, a South Korean pressing of Overkill - Under the Influence. 9 have 37 want. Never been sold.

[@NTXVinyl]

Nice!

[@brendan6093]

How can you determine how many of a particular record were made?

[@NTXVinyl]

Not possible in most cases. Record labels do not divulge those details unless it’s truly a limited/numbered pressing.

[@brendan6093]

@@NTXVinyl fair enough, so if the record label says "Limited edition of 2500 individually numbered copies" i can assume that is how many copies are released.

[@festersuncle6298]

Your Stooges pressing is the "corrected" label pressing, as the O.G. 1st didn't have "Stooges" on the big E label.

[@NTXVinyl]

oh nice! I know there are several pressings from that year for sure. What an album!

[@thecatwrangler9448]

I had an album that technically was commercially released, and was pressed but it never was sold… thankfully with the 7 year anniversary of Come Over When You’re Sober Pt. 1, the estate of Lil Peep (now fully controlled by his mom, when I got my copy it was with the birthday deluxe edition of COWYS2… unfortunately I now am distraught as I am not sure if I should bite the bullet and buy what’s known as the COWYS1 Comic Edition which just dropped for the 7 year mark

[@Stetho96]

What would have been interesting to see is how many of these there were for sale on Discogs, if any.

[@NTXVinyl]

Good call. There are some copies available of most of em, but not many. But pretty pricey as you can imagine.

[@dawnpatrol700]

1) beach boys - summer in paradise 1992 korea only BIG BUCKS 2) Guns N Roses - appetite stamped promo w/ 2 typewritten pages from 1987 Geffen explaining who Guns were 3) Del Amitri - Twisted 1995 4) Barenaked Ladies - Gordon 2017, but $500 5) Scorpions - unbreakable 6) AFI - CrashLove 7) alice in chains jar of flies orig 94 8 ) cure - bloodflowers orig 9) guns n roses live era 1999 orig 10) def leppard - first strike Funniest thing about them. I paid practically nothing for these. They couldn't give vinyl away in the 90s

[@chriskitsopoulos9851]

Some really rare in my collection.Bend wind.plastick cloud.war pig.please please me by the beattles original stereo british

[@scottkundel]

My rarest is "The Woman" by Grace Markay. I guess I am the only person on Discogs who has it? I got it free a while back and there is one for sale on Discogs, but I guess that does not count as someone having it? odd

[@VinylPiper]

test pressings on this list?? isn't that cheating :) it started off good though.. Deep Six is such a great lp.. i have 1 of the 2000 made. I enjoy your videos.

[@NTXVinyl]

Yeah....I hesitated to include those - but just couldn't resist. I just got Deep Six a month or so ago. Been on my list for years. Thanks for watching!

[@VinylPiper]

@@NTXVinyl what do you think of the album Sub Pop 100? Not what you'd expect.. you'd think the Deep Six would be the stuff on Sup Pop 100 :)

[@chrisanderson9542]

How imports from 70s

[@fvalle14]

How to sort your collection by the number of people who also have the record?

[@NTXVinyl]

I don’t believe you can unfortunately

[@christenuta3743]

What is the value of these records? Never heard of any of these artist except the Stooges.

[@NTXVinyl]

You can see the average value according to Discogs in the overlays in the video. Most are $150+ or so

[@chriskitsopoulos9851]

Your list is not even close to rare records.u talking about records that where issue during the cd age.small amounts at that time.

[@shortfuseartstudio]

Did you hear the intro? He's saying these are listed as records that aren't claimed as being owned by very many members of Discogs.

[@NTXVinyl]

Well...like the title of the video states these are the rarest IN MY COLLECTION. I can really define that any better for ya. Do you have albums that are more rare? Great! Love to see them.
