Ok, so how many of you read Ironontour's posting and...

1st - were somewhat jealous?
2nd - rechecked down the list to see what you also have?
3rd - rechecked the list for what you don't have?
4th - felt gutted for items you don't have on the list that just slipped through your hands in the past?
5th - felt pretty smug for a couple of seconds on the things you have that are not listed (then felt guilty about it!)?

human nature is fun  ;)

It's a serious list alright..............

Getting back on topic....

Are we defining rare as numbers pressed or how difficult they are to get/find?

I guess it is very difficult to get exact numbers on how many pressed

Don't know if it's rare or not, but my No Rest For The Wicked lp had one of those promotional use only, not for resale stickers on it. Like a prat I tried to remove it ( I was young!!! ), tearing the album sleeve in the process  :(

Does anyone know how many of the Vagabond and G&G picture discs were produced? I guess it is in the 10s of 1000 but never seen any numbers.

Also as mentioned, the bittersweet single and flexi must be quite limited but is does come up a lot for sale.

In regard to promos, I guess we never know how many are produced when they were on the majors. On their own label it might be easier to find out  ;)

I have Vagabonds & Green and Gray picture ones - EMI 1989
There was a list of numbers a while ago posted here - checked mine and they weren`t rare

On the back of the cover there is NMA P (number x) and then number 5 099920 xxxxxx - that made the difference rare or not rare  :-\

Wrong topic I know - but very very rare seems to be Frank Zappa- lp- Mother`s Day -
and I`m searching for that lp or an audio stream of it - it is not listed in the offical Zappa sources I found - but when I was young one of my friends had it before he sold the lp second hand  :'(
And me, I`ve got a black place in my heart
Still got this hole in me
Perhaps - I am the master of nothing?

I'm sure, but i seem to remember some one saying there was 5000 of each of the Vagabonds and Green n Grey pic discs......... I think it was one of the traders at a record fair in the 90's somewhere......... But I can'y be sure.........
There was a feature in Spral Scratch magazine on NMA releases in about 93 I think........ I lost my copy years ago tho'......... =(
It had loads of info on releases up to Raw Melody Men ..........

wow, spiral scratch... now that is a blast from the past. I did find this link to a copy of the SS NMA article (below). It does lack a lot of details on the release.

I found that one, but can't find the other one full of details tho......... Maybe it was in Record Collector or something........ I had a photo copy of it. But god knows where it is now.

I`ve got a fair amount of vinyl but I`m pretty sure it`s not worth bugger all as I bought it to be played at the time of release so it value is more of a nostalgic value to me  :)
