#1 Metal album on your wantlist?

Yeah Easier to Lie is in my top ten most wanted. Out of curiosity, how much did you get for it?

I think it was in the neighbourhood of $100-$125? Been 7 years since my big sell off, so I can't remember exactly...

Actually, there is another album I'd put beside that one as my most wanted (and funny enough, I owned it too.....) which is Vanadium - The Damage Done.

I like to look back and at some old "want lists" and see what was once number one or in the top ten and I have since scratched it off. Good times.

Not a Numero Uno, Holy Grail-type want, but I've finally got a copy of Kix' Show Business on the way. That one's been on my want-list for what seems like forever. I'll finally complete my Kix discography!! Hooray!!

Now onto Funny Money...

I used to see Show Business in the used bins a lot. For whatever reason I'd always ignore it and end up getting something else. I've since realized the error of my ways and haven been on the lookout for it. Naturally I haven't seen one in literally years,

Trying to finish off my Anthrax collection, but apparently, their 2nd shittiest album Vol. 8 is now a rarity.

Same here. I passed over that album many times in used shops. Then when I decide to grab up all the Kix albums, that one vanishes. I can't tell you how many times I've been outbid on ebay for it.

I know it's got some luke-warm reviews but I'm just happy to complete the collection.

That's because the record label that put that album out went bankrupt about twenty minutes after it was released.

I gave it the ol' college try last week. I had the bid at $11, and some guy dropped $26 on it last minute. No way I was paying that much for a used CD of dubious musical quality - oh well.

It was reissued in 2003 with 3 bonus tracks on Sanctuary Records. Sanctuary went under a couple of years after that so even the reissue can be hard to find. The good news is that Anthrax owns the masters to all of their Elektra albums and the master for Volume 8, so I'm sure it will get reissued again.

It wasn't easy trying to find We've Come for You All at a decent price either. I ended up buying an import that included The Greater of Two Evils, which was pretty cool.

Pretty good price for a most wanted.

Finally collected Rottweiller's rage of war earlier this afternoon. I had been searching for this cd for such a long time.

That's why I've never been a completist. It doesn't matter if I have 29 albums by a band, and am missing only 1 album that I know sucks--not buying it. And if I buy an album without knowing it sucks, and then it sucks, I'm getting rid of it.

I'd rather spend $30 on 1 CD that I really want and know rips than get 6 CDs for $5 a piece that I don't actually care about just to fill holes in a collection.
