I so much enjoyed the other thread that it got me thinking. What rare jewels do
you have that you know would cause many to drool because they don't have it?
I can't think of too many in my case right now (I'll contribute some later. I
am interested in hearing others' responses.)
One that does stand out, that has come up recently is:
Cast - A View of Cast.
A live Cast CD that was limited to 1000 (that I know of). I stumbled acrossed
it one day. Cool!
So, anyone else??????

I don't have a lot of stuff that is not widely available... a few
LPs that are hard to find on CD (Clearlight Symphony), FM Headroom (was
never released on CD), IQ's Nine in a Pond is Here LP (with
not-on-CD fourth side), RDM _Contamination_ (english version of the album
not on CD)...
For CDs I have a bunch of bootlegs that were limited to 500-1000
pressings (probably fairly standard rarity for those actually), the first
Echolyn, that's about it really. A few OOPs that probably aren't simple to
get but probably not terribly hard either...

Echolyn - s/t, Suffocating the Bloom, ..and every Blossom.
Within Temptation - Enter, The Dance. Dutch gothic prog-metal like The

Some of the following albums are rarer than others; some you may not
even consider all that rare, but I find myself lucky to own them as I
haven't seen them around too much. "Progness" may vary, however, and
drool factor will probably be limited to the more hardcore obscurity
hunters, but hey, what the hell... all are vinyl and mostly originals:
Charles Kaczynski - Lumière de la nuit
Ptarmigan - Ptarmigan
Jean-Baptiste Barrière - Ville ouverte
Zoviet France - Norsch (foil cover)
Tangerine Dream - early albums on Ohr
Carol of Harvest - Carol of Harvest (a reissue but still hard to find...
one of my fav albums ever!)
Nurse With Wound - Merzbild Schwet
Donovan - HMS Donovan
Early Banco originals on Dischi Ricordi
Bunch of early Italian LPs like le Orme, PFM, others on labels like
Numero Uno, Cramps, etc.
Tangerine Dream - Quichotte (the East German live LP on Amiga... bought
in Poland for fifty cents!)
Pink Floyd - Ummagumma with "Gigi" cover
Et Cetera - Et Cetera
Pollen - Pollen
Pagan Altar - s/t
Franck Dervieux - Dimension M
Contraction - La bourse ou la vie
Pierre Henry - Voile d'Orphée
Pierre Henry / Michel Colombier - Psyché Rock
Pink Floyd bootlegs...
Fugs - s/t
SBB - 1,2, Memento z Banalnym Tryptykiem
Exodus - The Most Beautiful Day, Supernova (Polish prog, not the 80s
thrash band)
L'engoulevent - L'engoulevent
Serge Locat - solo album, I forget the title, I love this thing...
Harmonium - En tournée
Dionne/Brégent - first album, Deux
Humanist Advent - Concepts Invasion
Dionysos - Le prince croule
I'm getting carried away... maybe I just can't choose!
...plus all my rare techno records (early Aphex Twin/Rephlex, Skam,
Warp, etc).
There are probably others, but if my house was burning, I would go and

1970 with a GREAT organist, Norm Landsberg)
It's a Beautiful Day, Live at Carnegie Hall
Egg, Polite Force
Kate Bush, Live at Hammersmith
Maynard Ferguson Band, the early 70's "MF Horn" Columbia albums
Dave Brubeck, Adventures in Time (2 LP best of set including live
versions of Blue Rondo and Take Five)
Barry Miles and Eric Kloss, Together (Barry played keys on Al
DiMeola's early solo albums, and Eric is a blind sax player. The

OK, let's see..
A GOTA SUSPENSA - funny brazilian early 80s prog + new wave!
AGAMEMNON - Parts I & II - swiss symphonic prog not on CD yet
(private pressing).
ALGARAVIA - Dedilhado - demo cassete, predating their album. The
music is better, but the sound quality sucks.
ANGLAGARD - both albums on LP :)
BUON VECCHIO CHARLIE - rare CD of early italo prog.
BURNING CANDLE - obscure german keyboards prog, not on CD.
CIRCUS - Fearless Tearless and Even Less - not on CD, great GG-ish
swiss band.
CLEARLIGHT - Les contes du singe fou - again, not on CD, but supposed
to be real soon...
CORNUCOPIA - Full horn - funky brazilian pressing, with poster cover
(yes, it folds in 4 parts to form a huge poster!)
DRUGI NACIN - one of the best yugo hard prog bands.
DUNWICH - Il chiorore - picture LP!
EILIFF - both albums on LP, mint! These are up for trade, though...
ET CETERA - canadian band, the LP has a beautiful thick cover.
EXODUS - both , great symphonic prog from Poland.
EZRA WINSTON - Ancient afternoons - leaders of the italian prog
renaissance in the 80s...
FERNANDO PACHECO - Himalaia - very pleasant album from the guitarrist
of Recordando o Vale das Macas. One side is a Camel-like workout, the
second is acoustic.
FINISTERRE - first album on LP :) Beautiful, thick cover.
FM - Direct to disc - I need another copy of this...
FIREBALLET - Night on bald mountain - it's not *that* rare, but it's
not out on CD :(
GOTIC - Escenes - The LP has probably the most beautiful prog cover
ever. I made a poster and plastered it all over my walls :) Oh, and the
vinyl sounds *so* much better than the badly mastered CD!
IN SPE - first one. way better than the "typewriter" one...
ISLAND - another one in the series of "gorgeous LP covers". Despite
Ken's great work on the CD reissue, the fat vinyl still sounds great!
... and many more :)

Oh yeah, that's a good band. I have _Enter_. I wasn't sure I was making a good move
when I bought it, because I knew it had some death-like growls (of which I'm not fond
of) in addition to the beautiful female vocals. I was pleasantly surprised. I'd still
prefer if there weren't any male vocals, or at least they should be 'clean', but they
still work fairly well, and the female vocals tend to take up more space anyway.
Maybe not the most original CD in existence, at least not nowadays, with all those
new, more sophisticated metal bands coming out, but still worth checking out. They do
sound somewhat like The Gathering, but I think it's mostly because of Sharon den
Adel's voice, which is very similar to Anneke van Giersbergen's (of The Gathering).
The similarity is even more obvious when you listen to Ayreon's _Into the Electric
Castle_, which features both singers, as the Indian and the Egyptian. I think I have
a slight preference for Anneke's voice, but Sharon's is almost as good. And both
women are quite attractive, if I may say so.

Oh I normally hate threads like this, but I feel like bragging
about my CD's (YMMV):
echolyn - s/t (autographed), Suffocating the Bloom, And Every Blossom EP
Porcupine Tree - Voyage 34, Yellow Hedgerow Dreamscape
Aragon - Rocking Horse
Pink Floyd - black label Dark Side of the Moon (that's the original CD
pressing when it was being manufactured in Japan)
Dream Theater - Subconcious (private pressing by Ytsejammer of
rarities). I also have their complete "covers gig" show on tape, but I
promised not to trade that so don't ask. :) I'm sure it's made the
rounds through others anyway.
Zazen - Atlantis, Mystery School (is this still in print?), Tantra.
This is from when they were an outstanding prog band (not the newage
crapola they've been dishing out lately).
Klaus Schulze - Historic Edition
Marillion - Sugar Mice CD single (if someone wants to make me a big fat
offer on this, I might be talked into it :), tour fund CD.
plus some other stuff I'm probably forgetting.

You may. I'm almost ready to strart my own crush thread re: Anneke. ;)
I'm also tempted to ditch seeing Roger Waters here in Boston Aug 4th,

They're not oop but they were hard to get a hold of. I had to mail-order
them from the Netherlands. I think I like their mini-cd The Dance better.
With just a little bit of death vox it provides a counterpoint to Sharon.

Mass" which is not yet on cd. I also have an album titled "Head" which
was a one shot Moog psych record from the early 70's. One of the tracks
is titled "LSD". Both lp's are instrumental electronic music.
I've been interested in the weirder, more experimental examples of new
wave and punk from the late 70's/early 80's. The stuff I've collected so
far is only on oop vinyl and a few may never be issued on cd.
Monitor: This self titled album is the only release (besides a single)
from this gloom rock band formed in S.California in the late 70's. I
believe them to be the first American goth band. They where friends with
Boyd Rice who appeared on their single. This lp is noted for an
appearance by the Meat Puppets when that band was just starting out in
the underground music scene.
Pink Section: I have an ep & single from this arty punk band from
Berkeley. The four member group consisted of two guys and two gals. They
incorporated a synth or two in their sound.
Screamers: They never recorded an album but demos they made where
released on bootleg vinyl with some live tracks. The Screamers where one
of the most unique bands from the late 70's LA punk scene. They didn't
play any guitar or bass, instead they used an Arp Odyssey synth and a
Rhodes electric piano.
Nervous Gender/Beelzebub Youth: Two very obscure bands that shared a
split lp in 1981. Nervous Gender was rather notorious in the LA
underground for their brand of twisted synth punk. Beelzebub Youth was
actually sort of a side project of NG that did a kind of bizarre and
experimental satanic new wave. The name of the split lp btw was titled
"Music From Hell".

All right, now, I think the echolyn albums have to be disqualified based

I don't know that I have anything that's particularly rare. Well, I don't
suppose to many people have Electrum's _Frames of Mind_, but it's not even
on a label as far as I can tell, and it's only been out a year, so I don't
think it counts.

I don't think it's either intrinsically better or worse than the second.
Both are excellent albums, but vastly different in style. The first is more
impressionist symphonic music that reminds me of early Kenso with a medieval
flair, while the second is offbeat jazzy fusion reminding me of Maneige with a
guest performer on typewriter. BTW, you're the only other person I know who
owns the first. You wouldn't have any spare copies of Gorizont or Ariel lying

Ariel is not of any problem to get here on CDs... I never bothered with
them, though...
I have both Gorizonts on tape - they both seriously rule, but it is not
easy to get 'em.
The first In Spe is owned by one friend of mine, and he said, that this
album couldnt be bought from the ssops, it should be ordered through
some special soviet mailorder....

Might as well chime in, though some of this won't be really prog.
I have a copy of the first pressing of the first Unrest LP from 1986.
This is the DC-pased harDCore punk trio that took their name
from a henry Cow song. These early albums were decorated by hand,
so my copy is in that sense unique. The music itself was remastered,
speed corrected, and remixed some and generally buffed up for a
CD reissue.
Also on TeenBeat (the Unrest label), i have some of the early cassette
releases, many of which came out in small editions, like 20; though maybe the
rarest version is the FunBox of reissues of 16 of the tapes -- only 10
were made, so in a way it's even rare than the notorious Throbbing
Gristle _24 Hours_ boxed set.
Society for Cutting Up Merzbow CS -- copy #8/10 with original painting
by Arthur Potter on the insert.
Psychic TV -- _Blinded Eye of the Pyramid_ -- one of 93 copies packaged in
a Nepalese made passport bag with hand-sewn psychic cross patch.
_The Hafler Trio Play the Hafler Trio_ -- one of 100 copies with glow in the
dark
lettering.
And some rare titles that i've only seen one or two copies of (including mine):
Lotti Golden's second (self-titled) LP on GRT
The Nihilist Spasm Band second LP (1978)
John Bender's second album
_The Paul Simon Song Book_ -- Paul's UK-only 1965 solo LP (i even have the
original cover).
_Ascent into Now_ -- on Channel One recordings -- some electronic experimentalist
from Las Vegas does side-long meditations that come with write-ups to make
them sound like some lkind of industrial research/mind-control project.
The American Research Team -- _Sounds for Meditation_ -- very oddball 1973
cassette of of electronic noises designed to induce meditation.
I'm sure there's more if i think about it, though maybe not so much stuff that's
in any demand by anybody.

I expect a fair number of folks here have one, but I've only run into

People think the artwork on that tiny CD booklet looks great... But

Got this one too. On Compendium, which was an odd little label, obscure
Norwegian fusion (Saluki, that band featuring ex-Ruphus keyboardist Hakon Graf,

Hugh Hopper's _1984_ on the other.

Not as good as their earlier albums, but certainly one of the hardest to
find. I've never seen it, at any rate. Perhaps the most obscure item I know of
by them is a 1974 single, "Stories" b/w "Cheese", both early versions of songs
that later turned up on _Hats of Glass_. It was owned by a guy from Vancouver
that I also met at Progfest. "Stories" later turned up, with different lyrics,
as the closing vocal passage in "Hats Of Glass" the song. "Cheese",
instrumental on _Hats Of Glass_, has a vocal section here! Lots of Mellotron on
both! He tacked both these (along with "Mo Bike Jive", the B-side to the "Carry
On" single) onto a tape of a bootleg from a 1986 concert. I didn't know they
were even still together then.

Well, of course they're on the former Soviet Union State Label, Melodia.
_Summer In Town_ (sorry, don't remember the Russian title, and in any case I
can't replicate Cyrillic on my computer, so it would have to be the Latin
approximation) is from 1986, and _Portrait Boy_ is from 1989. I think those are
the right dates.

If you like DBtR, you'll like the others (just stay away from Mr. Angel.
They decided they needed to release a pop disc). I personally think
they overstretched themselves on Mouse, but many people love it. I
still think it's worth getting.

Mahjong Hell, a cassette released on John Oswald's Mystery Tapes label.
Its various bits Kaiser recorded on 4 track in the early 80s, including
prep for his second album with Fred Frith. Oswald does some fiddling
with some of the tracks, and it has a terrific version of Captain
Beefheart's "Alice In Blunderland." I also have Salmonmoose by Kaiser,
Oswald, and trumpter Toshinori Kondo, but thats free improv.
Hideo Yamaki, Shadowrun: I don't really know anything about drummer
HIdeo Yamaki other
than seeing his name associated with Kazumi Watanabe, but i ordered this
one because it had Bill Laswell, Ginger Baker, Bernie Worrell etc on it.
It turned out to have been recorded during the Japanese tour that
resulted in Material, Live In Japan, making this a companion album to
it. Some nice stuff on it with "world beat" elements to it, and it also
heavily features Japanese saxophonist Yasuaki Shimizu.
Ruins and Umezu: A live cassette featuring the Ruins and Japanese
saxaphonist Kazutoki Umezu.
Rick Wakeman 1984.
Group 87, A Career in Dada Processing: Mark Isham's early 80s group. I
believe this one didn't stay in print hugely long and I don't know if its
ever been released on CD.
Ground Zero, Revolutionary Pekingnese Opera: I have the original
pressing of this one before Otomo Yoshihide remixed it for Recommended or
whoever it was remixed for.

Slightly derivative (á la 70's ELP, Gabriel-Genesis, 70's Camel).
Instrumental three piece band. Guitarist was Hackett-influenced, and
fairly good. Keyboardist was self-taught and reasonably handy with
string synth, bass pedals and Korg. Original drummer simply kept time
(all you can say about him, really), later drummers were much better.
The band was great fun at gigs.
I gather examples of this album are being exchanged for silly money by
Far Eastern collectors.
I had a tape of a particular composition of theirs, once. The band
came back to me one day a couple years later, saying, "Hey, didn't you
have a tape of 'The Rabbit'? We can't remember how it goes, can we
borrow it?" I found that I had taped over it, thus missing my
opportunity for global stardom. <sniff>

It was never available as a CD. I believe only the first Ragnarök is in
print on CD now. I believe their last two, _2 Signs_ and _Well..._, are out of
print, and _Fjärilar i Magen_ and _Fata Morgana_ have never been reissued on
CD, so used vinyl only.

Roughly a snowball's chance in hell on this one, I'm afraid. Neither

This is the prog band on the Takoma label, right? I thought it was really

was folk-oriented. Can anyone prove me otherwise?

i have a copy of the christmas live album with all the inserts written by
bob bryden. it includes stuff from heritage as well as the closing from the
spirit of. it sounds like a typical bootleg album, but i do believe it to be
an official release. i had never heard of christmas until i got a hold of
ken golden's catalogue from the laser's edge. the spirit of christmas album
knocked me out. i later saw in goldmine that metro music was selling this
extremely limited edition of a live album by christmas. it was not jacked up
too high that can be a common practice in the collector's market. the only
problem is that its vinyl and my turntable crapped out awhile ago so it
doesn't get played much.

I think so...it's a bit more dark and aggressive - with some nice
guesting by Fred Frith and Chris Cutler. The more RIO-like of the two
- reminds of Western Culture-era Henry Cow or Univers Zero in places.

Nice list of obscurities there, Czar. A majority of them have been reissued on

Yeah, present and accounted for. I tried for years to obtain Art Fleury LPs,
without luck at all. And I have a feeling that Dr. Moroni probably has
absolutely no interest in re-issuing these at all...:-( Couldn't blame him-

If you really like the 1st(I LOVE both), you should check out COS "Viva

specially the 1st track called 'Perhaps Next Record' which sounds waay too

see someone out there with similar tastes as me! I'm not much for Neo-prog

for "Lizards" --because of the Tippett horn section!!), VDGG, Jethro Tull,
ELP is okay, but not all that stunning either. I DO like the 'classic GG

Ohhh, maybe 33 1/3 times better if you thought the first was too soft.
Those bandits include FRED FRITH & CHRIS CUTLER, hence it is HEAVIER by far
and simply an all-out space masterpiece, really, no joke!! Get it, no
chance of disappointment if you like heavy prog that delves into the RIO
territory in a hardcore way! Jamming. ..and did I say heavy yet? It also
has an incredible time-lapsing flow.
