The snobby rare thread - list stuff that's rare that you have and others don't

The rules:

1) You entered it.
2) 5 (or fewer) own it.
3) 5 (or more) want it.

Go...
Various - What Did You Want To See What Did You Want To Be When You Grew Up?

Marvin Gaye - What's Going On got a much larger, faster "want" response than I ever imagined...

Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin

2/112

Alternative TV - The Image Has Cracked

Been on the db less than two months

The Art Attacks - I Am A Dalek

Sorry I have lots ;)

Lou Donaldson - New Faces – New Sounds 5/46
Bought it about 20 years ago on a flea market for CHF 4.00, albeit VG/VG at best.

Pantera - Cowboys From Hell

Front 242 - Transmission SE91

That's a bit harder with classical LPs, but still:
Ravel*, L'Orchestre De La Suisse Romande, Ansermet* - Daphnis Et Chloe / Alborada Del Gracioso / Le Tombeau De Couperin / Valses Nobles Et Sentimentales
too tired now to continue... :-)

xjoxjox
John Lennon - Imagine

Oh yeah, that reminds me:

Black Sabbath - Technical Ecstasy 3/22

These are all cassettes, however, and I'm not sure if all of the guys really want those or if they all just clicked the "Add all to Wantlist" button in the respective MR.

So…

hatfulofelt
The rules:

… I'd recommend to add a rule 4 about MRs, like "Less than n different versions in a MR" or something.

With white labels and promos it's usually easy.

Love Is Colder Than Death - Mental Traveller Promo Have: 1 Want: 7

Pierre Henry - Gilbert Artman - Urban Sax - Paradise Lost

Janci Körössy* - Ale Ne Pro Mne 3/15

Edmond S. Bordeaux And Norma Jean Nilsson - Indian Melodies = Melodias Indias

Andrej Vozněsenskij* / Václav Hrabě - Poezie A Jazz II. 4/11

After a quick look through older subs

Houses Of The Holy 1 have, 25 want

Edit: four days later and up to 29 wants

Edit: 34 wants

hatfulofelt
3) 5 (or more) want it.

I think we should raise the bar a bit.
How about "10 or more want it"?

Queen - These Are The Days Of Our Lives - 3 owners / 21 wants

Kabaka* - Son Of Africa
Have: 0
Want: 40

loukash

A lot of my more interesting submissions are 78s. Unfortunately, there's not a lot of demand.

My winner would be Basic Black and Pearl - There'll Come A Time, There'll Come A Day 4 have, 26 want

The rest are likely people adding the entire MR to their wantlists:
Sex Pistols - Never Mind The Bollocks Here's The Sex Pistols 7 have, 88 want, never sold

Let's hear it for relatively obscure formats:

"Compact LaserDisc: The Audio and Video Album!"
a-ha - Hunting High And Low

Moog and reel-to-reel: really, what's not to want?
The Mighty Moog - Everything You Always Wanted To Hear On The Moog (But Were Afraid To Ask For)

wth, amazing! - Compact LaserDisc™ The Audio & Video Album

ooh....here's some....
Red Cheek - Red Cheek

Morphia (2) - Poison Minded (3 have, 17 want) - First demo of a dutch Doom Metal band

5+1 (or fewer) own it:
De/Vision - Your Hands On My Skin (6 have, 18 want) - First De/Vision record, released in a Generic sleeve (with sticker)
The band itself stated that they do not know about this release/packaging, although I've seen at least 5 different sales/owners of this version.

Ride - Going Blank Again

Luigi499
The band itself stated that they do not know about this release/packaging, although I've seen at least 5 different sales/owners of this version.

Funny, I showed Catatonia - Way Beyond Blue to the band, and they'd never known they were signed in the US at the time either.

Various - Some Bizarre (Compilation) - If You Can't Please Yourself You Can't, Please Your Soul

laserdisc
Various - Praxis 10.89.1

I'll You

These meet your rules:
Stomu Yamashta* - Floating Music & The Man From The East

I sold my copy, but it still meets the rules the way you wrote them:
Daniel Hecht - Guitar

This one doesn't meet your rules, but the large number of wants makes it interesting:
Miles Davis - Kind Of Blue - 7 have, 150 want

Note the common theme: most of these are minidiscs.

http://discogs.mejorespelis.org/sell/item/262359969

Fleetwood Mac - Tango In The Night 17 want for some weird reason!
Well, not so weird. The want function is used as a bookmark by some people
and also some people are adding the entire MR to their wantlist so the numbers
are actually fake.
Pink Floyd - Ummagumma Part 2 16 want (maybe the MR thing again, only this is a rare item)

Various - FastTraxx

Collectors love booties and exotica.

don't we all :)

i have one of those polish boots of Michael Jackson's [Bad - 0 have, 22 want, 1 for sale. no pictures (yet). i am saving that privilege for the lucky buyer ;)

also

Whigfield - Saturday Night 2 Have, 18 Want (yup. really.)

and Silvinha* - Silvinha gets special recognition, though doesn't officially make the list, as now 8 of us have far richer lives for owning this in our collections. such a fantastic album! sadly 35 discoggers out there will rip their hair out navigating brazilian websites hoping for this to pop up.

I have a sweet tooth for acetates:

Of just my first 25 subs, these all meet the criteria:
Rachael Cain - La Vie

Aaand a few more:

There's a rare Dionne Warwick 7"? I wonder how many times I ed on it. :(

it's collectibility was likely spurred by the use of the B side, You're Gonna Need Me, on J Dilla - Donuts as Stop.

Of the ones I've added that meet the criteria, this has the largest have / want ratio: The Taj-Mahal Travelers* - July 15, 1972 (3 haves / 43 wants)

With 22 haves, this one doesn't qualify, but I was shocked to go back and look at it and see that has 130 wants and has sold for up to almost $150: Gavin Bryars - The Sinking Of The Titanic
I bought it last summer when I was in Olympia, WA, at Rainy Day for $10.98!

Haha, thx.

Pro-Rock Ensamble - Música Para Los Perros Have 3 - Want 10 (includes 1 owner)
My brother has a copy in vinyl too and another on CD, but he's not on Discogs.

Blondie - AutoAmerican Have 5 - Want 21
Of course, I'm far away to sell them.

Another one, I'd forgotten about.
Asr* - Demos July 99 / Demos 27/8/99

A few that spring to mind:
Three Alley Cats - Yeah, Yeah, Yeah! 1/11

Curiosity Shoppe - Baby I Need You 4/27

But special mention for this one I submitted - doesn't fit the criteria - 30 have it / but a massive 508 want it
J. Richford* And G. Stevan* - Feelings

This "game" is actually a fun travel through the past.

Submitted between September and December 2009:

Submitted between January and April 2010:

Cal Tjader - China Nights / The Fakir 2/25

hatfulofelt
Which one?

I was with Ugly Bluz ‹— the discography isn't complete yet, I should also submit the other cassettes we have released, now that they are even exhibited in a museum exposition. ;)

Good to know, thx.

Lots of cool stuff here, for sure, but the OP mentioned the word rare twice.
I assume we aren't just talking about appearances on Discogs... ?
I'd like to see the stuff left over if everyone went back through their posts and removed the stuff that is not actually rare.

DarkSoda
I'd like to see the stuff left over if everyone went back through their posts and removed the stuff that is not actually rare.

I bet it's hard to know for many things, but good point. There's plenty of stuff that even the posters themselves can't figure out why so many would want it. It's esp. interesting, as some have pointed out (obviously), to get a bunch of wants in a short time period for something that seems not that interesting. But that's why this is fun, right? You never know why anyone might want anything. As pointed out prior, some may just be clicking the "add all" to their wants list. And I've always been baffled when something has loads of wants but is still both readily and cheaply available. I guess I too want some items, but only when I can get it for a few bucks at most. Who knows.

Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures

Funny, was just looking up this label to see how many wants my 2 N.O. entries had... not many - Supersonic Scientists

Submitted between April 2010 and February 2011:

Фламинго* - Вокально-Инструментальный Ансамбль «Фламинго» 4/24

Joy Division - Closer

That has got to be the most un-Joy Division-like artwork I have ever seen on a Joy Division release.

Two more:
Ennio Morricone - Once Upon A Time The Revolution 0/5

U2 - The Unforgettable Fire - 2/11 (however I know that both of these numbers are false. the second owner does not have one. and 9 out of the 11 want any version of the album. I have it, and it may be a unique item. At least there are two people at the moment who want it.)

Tears For Fears - Shout (The Remixes)

Einstürzende Neubauten - 2 x 4 2/11

Nice... was just listening to Strategies Against Architecture I last night... didn't know there was ever a ROIR UK.

Repulsion - Horrified

Coincidentally I discovered another one: Sex Gang Children - Ecstasy And Vendetta Over New York (ROIR UK version not yet in the db):
