Operation Ivy - Plea for Peace E.P

Info
The final E.P released by Operation Ivy. It was released in 1992 three years after the band had broken up. It features 4 songs that were unreleased on the 27 song reissue of Energy, These songs were 'Uncertain', 'Trouble bound', 'Someday' and 'Plea for Peace'. Basically this guy heard these songs and decided to approach various people for funds to release the songs. That's why they were released. The label it was released on was M & E records and was produced by Tim Armstrong(Lint)and Kevin Army.
Vinyl Info
Its a 7" record and was originally pressed on white vinyl and limited to 2,000. My version is on Black Vinyl I don't know how many were pressed on black. I'm pretty sure they was only a black and white press but correct me if I'm wrong. There is nothing really special about the actually record it has plain white labels and is just black. Also annoyingly you have to squint at the etchings just to see weather its the goddamn A side or B side. But the Content of the record makes up for this.

Black Vinyl: $10
White Vinyl: If you actually find one pay any price


The inside of the insert whicih features lots of random things

Hole - Live Through This

Info
The critically acclaimed second album from Hole which went multi-platinum, selling over two million copies, was released in April 1994. A lot of people slate Hole because Hole features Courtney Love but today we're looking over this fact, because Live Through This is an amazing album. It's one of only a few albums where I listen to every song on the album. I don't really need to tell you this because anywhere you look this album is acclaimed. If you Haven't listened to the album yet, do it after you read this. Whoever wrote this album well done because its brilliant.
Vinyl Info
This is where things get a bit strange, despite being a hugely successful album it's pretty difficult to source the L.P. There is a black and white press. I have the black version which I luckily stumbled over at a bargain price on amazon. The white version was pressed in a batch of 3,000 and I've only seen it once and that was on eBay. I don't know why this album is so difficult to get but be patient and you'll find a copy. God knows what Price at though.
Expect to Pay
This is difficult as I've only seen two for sale before

Sonic Youth - Hits Are for Squares 2 x L.P

Info
Sonic Youth Hits Are for Squares is a 16 track compilation. 15 tracks selected by other artists and the 16Th track is brand new track. It was released on Starbucks Music. Starbucks Music What? its meant to be a coffee shop not a record label. Well it was just a CD released by Starbucks until..
Vinyl Info
This CD was repackaged as a double 180G Record and released for record store day. Both records are black and sound amazing and it comes in a nice gate fold package, featuring a man drinking at Starbucks (notice a theme?) and inside the gate (?) each artist who selected a song has written a piece about why they choose the song. My copy is number 0165, But this was not a limited press and is still available for purchase. Click the pictures to make larger.

Inside the gate

Nirvana - Sliver

Info
Nirvana's Sliver is the most expensive 45 I have ever brought!(I'm really poor so most people would find the price i paid not much at all). Originally released in 1990 by sub pop and then re released by Geffen in '92 to support 'Incesticide'. The b side to Sliver is Dive and the actual recording of Sliver features Dan Peters from Mudhoney on drums. The song peaked at 90 in the UK charts and to be honest isn't my favourite nirvana song, So why is it the most expensive 45 I've ever brought? This single is incredibly popular for some reason, I'm pretty sure most nirvana fans own this single in some form. In fact if you go on the Sub Pop website you can still purchase a brand new 4Th! press of the single. There are 14 different variations of this vinyl on 7", there is also the CD single and the blue 12" so its hardly worth going into detail. However, the vinyl below is a second press on pink vinyl, the second press by Erika records features nine different colors including two different pinks, of course I own the cheaper pink version. These singles are easy enough to pick up on eBay as there are so many different versions.
Expect To Pay
For the version below: $45 - 60
There is a massive price range on this single for example:
4th press on black vinyl: $5
Ultra rare white: $550 - 650
Mega ultra rare red: Over $1000 (Only One has ever been seen!)

Foo Fighters - This Is A Call 12"

Info
From 1995 on Roswell records we have This is a call by Foo Fighters, the second single to be released off the debut self-titled album. This is a luminous (glow in the dark) vinyl and really does glow in the dark! however, its a very small glow but it does what it says on the tin. It features the main single This is a call and two non L.P Tracks Winnebago and Podunk. Exciting! you might say about the two non l.p tracks, but I wasn't really to excited about them and I could see why they were left off the album. Anyways a must for Foo Fighters fans and fans of cool pressings of vinyl because as I said the glow in the dark really works!
Expect to Pay
To you sir: $15-30
but I paid £5 ($8) for my copy so be patient and you'll get a bargain.

Suicidal Tendencies - S/T

Info
We start with the suicidal tendencies debut album and what many people including myself would call their best album. This album is a bit different to other suicidal tendencies albums as after this album they kinda veered off into thrash becoming one of the most popular crossover bands in the process. Anyways a great hardcore punk album featuring institutionalized which is probably their biggest 'hit'. My favourite song off the album is the opener suicide's an alternative/You'll be sorry. The actual vinyl was purchased from rock and roll heaven in Orlando and was a first press! on black vinyl. They have been many reissues of this album on colour vinyl but my one is an original first press, it is in amazing condition for a vinyl that is 27 years old. It is not incredibly rare album and isn't the most expensive.
Expect to pay
For a colour reissue: $15
For an original press from 1983: $20 - 40
