What rare, valuable physical musical release would you most like to own?
Limiting it to actual physical recordings of music, not other memorablilia, like Hendrix's guitar or John Lennon's used tissues.

For me it's Shonen Knife's rare, cassette only first release. Limited to 50 (+ 20) copies and never reissued in physical format. Minna Tanoshiku |

If it can be obtained, I want everything that I don't yet have of my late beautiful precious Steve Sanders of the Oak Ridge Boys.
God bless you and his family always!!!

P.S. "Perfect Love" and "Honey On My Harley" are two songs from him that I do not already have and I want them. The sad thing is that they were never released and I hate it!!!

I know that this is wholly unrealistic, but if I had to pick a 'Holy Grail', and money wasn't a consideration, I'd aim real high.
It'd be nigh on impossible to attain, and cost millions.
That would be the reel-to-reel master of a classic album, just so I could listen to it as intended.
I'd probably choose 'Who's Next".

Offhand, I don't really have a candidate.
Before the bonus track/archive release mania of the last 15-20 years, there were plenty of things that I knew about that I was really itching to hear, but a lot of that stuff has surfaced in some form or another.
Some other stuff has never existed in a finished-enough form. For example, Jeff Beck's "Motown sessions." I don't think that ever got very far along in development. There are maybe fragments/very loose jammy things on tape somewhere, but it was never significantly completed, so it would probably be underwhelming to hear.
There are other things that haven't surfaced yet that I would be interested in hearing--like the "electric version" of Bruce Springsteen's Nebraska for example, but that's nothing that I have a "holy grail"-like pining for. I like Springsteen, but I'm not a huge Springsteen fanatic or anyting like that. I'd just be interested in hearing it if it were to be released in some manner.
There might be things I've temporarily forgotten about--but how holy grail-like can they be for me in that case. And there are probably things I don't know about that I'll be anxious to hear once I learn about them.
One thing I'd really like to hear is that new Gene Simmons "Vault" box set of demos, etc. But that's just a matter of there being no way I'd pay $2000 to buy it (that's the cheapest price for it). I don't need to hear it that badly. I wouldn't even spend $200 on it--it's only 10 discs. $100, maybe. But I'm hoping it will show up on file sharing at some point--I'll be very surprised if it doesn't. Otherwise maybe eventually they'll do a download-only release or something for a reasonable price.

I'd love to get hold of The Soup Dragons album "Lovegod" in it's original pre-baggy-bandwagon-jumping mix. Apparentely a few were released onto the market on cassette in error. Doubt it would be expensive, but pretty elusive I say.

Doubt it would be expensive, but pretty elusive I say. Fun fact, which I probably mentioned on the old board at some point - I used to be friendly with Jim McCulloch, until the day he asked me what I thought of "I'm Free". I did consider lying, but felt compelled to tell him the truth, and he never spoke to me again. I had no idea that there were any copies of that version in existence. They lost me after their first demo tape, which had quite a nifty, if bracingly atonal, rendition of So Sad I Feel. Ha. I actually like I'm Free I remember reading a piece in one of the weekly music papers that some cassettes of the original mix ended up on shelves. Shame really, I liked the garage rock direction of "Crotch Deep Trash" and "Backwards Dog" |

I don't really have like an ultimate "Holy Grail" item, but I wouldn't mind getting some hard copies of albums from groups like Coil, Nasmak, Black Randy & The Metro Squad, etc. I know they can be found, but not for very cheap... at least not in the US.
