We've probably all got want lists of those almost-mythical records that you know of, and have searched high and low for but simply can't find anywhere.
Maybe this could be the place where people list them and request help in tracking them down? As stated elsewhere, the 1st two I can think of are Judo For The Blind - Tragic Mulatto, and Knot A Fish - 5 Go Down To The Sea? Anyone able to help? Used to be this for YEARS....  ... but was unbelievably lucky enough to get a near-mint promotional copy off ebay for less than £30 this time last year  Weird thing is, once I'd finally got it, I sorta thought, "What now...?" -------------------- He was a boil on the arse of the Black Country

Amos & Sara - Sara goes pop (cassette version).
Not even the real thing, a hissy 128kps mp3 will do. But is it anywhere? Bollocks is it. -------------------- We show that whether the short sighted phenotype will be an evolutionary stable strategy (and thus lead to the collapse of civilization) depends on the initial proportion of short sighted people relative to people with foresight as well as their relative discount rates. Further we explore some comparative static results that connect the probability of the game continuing and the relative size of the two discount rates to the likelihood that civilization will collapse.

April Showers, "Abandon Ship" 12-inch.
Maybe the most perfect indiepop record ever released. The copies that have turned up on ebay have gone for $400 and up...  -------------------- The cold makes my ears treble-sized

I have all these and have never played them. 2 are still seal wrapped. I went on a collector spree on Ebay years ago and have no idea why. Are they any good? I hear a lot of that older live Fall stuff sounds like it was recorded from the bogs? In many cases from down the actual sweetcorn infested pan. -------------------- Hanleyvision™ http://www.youtube.com/user/hanleyfender

Backdrop - a compilation by The Fall mainly for the version of Plaster on the Hands and others i don't have.
I would swap Live at Deeply vale for this. |

Sadly not: it's the delicious double 7", but the cassette version has some entirely different tracks that I seem doomed never to hear. Thanks for trying, though!

Goddammit! In that case, it might be worth dropping a line to the last commenter here: http://mishkanyc.com/bloglin/2008/07/05/di...ab-double-7-ep/ and encouraging them to post it... -------------------- I've got no time for intellectual music eg Hergest Ridge

 Brilliant! That's the first trace of a real uppable copy I've ever encountered! I've posted to ask for an upload. -------------------- We show that whether the short sighted phenotype will be an evolutionary stable strategy (and thus lead to the collapse of civilization) depends on the initial proportion of short sighted people relative to people with foresight as well as their relative discount rates.

I used to love When you are a King by White Plains. Probably not a good idea to hear it again, though. (Though I heard Kites by Simon Dupree and The Big sound (the first group I ever saw, in Leeds City Hall (I think) in 1968-9, with Gene Pitney and Amen Corner) and that's wonderful.

My Fall 'holy grail' items are the bit I've picked up for free over the years. Empty Holstien cans and busted bass E strings etc.
Worthless on Ebay of course. You don't have to spend a huge amount of money to get a bit of The Fall. I'll soon be flogging some of my Fall CD's on Ebay. Not because I have a problem being a fan, but because unless you want to collect it all, there's no point having stuff you don't listen to. -------------------- Hanleyvision™ http://www.youtube.com/user/hanleyfender
