What is or was the most rare CD that you could never find and thought that it would never be found or reissued?

Mine is Axtion - Look Out For The Night. I love this album. Now its a Retrospect reissue, but I'll take what I can get.

Sadly, as the majority of the Retrospeck titles it is a cheap CD-R knock-off, so I still dont consider it been re-issued, at least not in the proper way anyway.

I know Retrospect gets a bad rap, but he is releasing albums that otherwise would have been forgotten. An attempt is being made, so I applaud the label for what it is doing.

I cannot respect a person who funds his official operation by making tons of knock-off cdr bootlegs disguised as imaginery "Italian import" labels...

I always try to support small indy labels which try to bring some forgotten jewels back, but his operation is plain wrong... That's all I have to say about the Retrospect guy (a.k.a vegascds on eBay).

About Vulture - Easier to lie....

I just caught a rumour that the biggest distributor in The Netherlands has a warehouse full of old stuff... A guy who works there told me that there are (at least) 250 unsold copies of that cd floating around somewhere either at their warehouse or in some old storage facility.... Not sure whether this is true but I promised him $5 a piece when he did find them.... fingers crossed!

I wish there was a copy of Di'Anno's 1984 solo album on CD. I got my vinyl copy today, I scored it on eBay for 10 bucks.

The actual vinyl sounds alot better then the crappy mp3s I downloaded.

There are a few I don't think I'll ever find:

Hollow - Hollow (EP) (think this was only a demo)
Reverend - Reverend (EP)
Savatage - One Child (CD-single)
Skullview - Consequences Of Failure

For me even though theyre not metal ive spent over a decade lookin for 2 albums...

1) Soundtrack to the movie RAD (which a brother hooked me up so its no longer on my list but i looked for this album for a very very very very long time)

2) Duff McKagan- Beautiful Disease (Which i am still searching)
