What SY rarities do you wish you could find?????
 
I love fucking goddamn sonic youth. I love what they're about, and how they do it.

I have a fairly extensive SY collection (not quite as massive as some of the freaks on this board! jealousy!) but even with what I have and enjoy there are some select items, some rarities, that I wish I could find in good condition.

These include

WALLS HAVE EARS vinyl

The KALI YUG EXPRESS EP that came with the French pressing of Murray Street

SILVER SESSIONS CD


what rarities do you want to get your hands on????

radarmaker 04.30.2010 10:02 AM

The main ones I'm still looking for are the (Over) Kill Yr Idols 7", the Flower 7" & Halloween II. None are super-super-rare, but always tend to go for slightly more than I'm willing to pay. I'll get 'em eventually.

Other than those, I'd love the pink SST EVOL & purple Sister, but again, I'm not going to drop $200+ on them.

Oh, and the gatefold NZ Sister. And that Japanese DDN. One day...

noisereductions 04.30.2010 10:08 AM

how the F do you not have Silver Sessions CD????? Weird.

I still want the Walls Have Ears or Sonic Youth Sound Experience silver CD bootleg.

I also still need the Whores Moaning EP. I had it years ago, but lost it. :(

and the Sensational Fix book/7''s.

I think that's the main stuff I'm still after.

Andrés 04.30.2010 10:39 AM

Is the promo video of Stereo Sanctity still a rarity? I might upload it to youtube if there's enough request.

Rob Instigator 04.30.2010 10:57 AM

never seen stereo sanctity!

I have a downloaded copy of silver sessions from the SY website, but I want the actual CD

the one I REALLY REALLY want is the Kali Yug Express EP

blunderbuss 04.30.2010 11:13 AM

Kali Yug here too.

congrats, bro.

Andrés 04.30.2010 12:45 PM

OK. I'll upload Stereo S. ASAP (this weekend) dedicated to Rob (hope you're felling better after the surgery) and CHOUT (thanks for the amazing Hüsker Dü footage that you share on youtube!)

Rob Instigator 04.30.2010 12:54 PM

Thanks for asking. I am feeling much better. Been eating better. Have lost about 20 lbs.

noisereductions 04.30.2010 01:03 PM

Rob, I didn't know you had surgery?

toxic johnny 04.30.2010 03:19 PM

It's Kali Yug Express for me as well...

also Walls Have Ears (The damn thing has eluded me for decades... I wish to God that I had found the money to buy it when I lived around the corner from Rough Trade in the 1986 and used to go in and look at it everyday. Since then I've either not had the money when it has come my way or it hasn't been on ebay when I have had the money....... godammit)

I would also love to have the Australian double orange vinyl Dirty, the pink SST EVOL & purple Sister.

I didn't know about the NZ gatefold Sister, my mind has now been officially blown...

nothing too crazy.
doc found 3 abdominal hernias. my job entails a LOT of lifting and heavy furniture moving at times and it was starting to get uncomfortable.
Took 2 weeks off work, got cut up laproscopically (10 different entry points) and they popped my intestines back in and put a plastic "mesh" to make sure nothing pops out of place again.
the worst fucking part was that, right after my surgery, I tried to sit up to go pee and ended up severely spraining my shoulder, becaus I could not lift myself with my abdomen (like a sit-up)
my shoulder hurt fucking hellish.

and the darvocet they gave me did wonders for my abdomen surgery pain but NOTHINg for my shoulder.

but now it has been 6-7 weeks and I am back to lifting shit all day.

Rob Instigator 04.30.2010 03:25 PM

ahhh, the australian double orange dirty in the cloth sleeve. I want that TOOOOOOOO

chicka 04.30.2010 03:49 PM

I love my music too but this obsession with albums makes me scratch my head. especially the mark ups.

Rob Instigator 04.30.2010 04:27 PM

I NEED the artifact

Chris Lawrence 04.30.2010 04:29 PM

I third (?) the request for the STEREO SANCTITY video, even the band didn't remember it when i showed them the vidcaps on my site...

http://www.sonicyouth.com/mustang/lp/vid12.html

I don't consider myself a huge collector, more of a collector of information... though I do aim to have all of the major items on vinyl (I realize now that I'm only missing 'NYC Ghosts' of the full-length LPs, and I missed my chance to buy a cheap one on eBay, doh..). If I saw 'Walls Have Ears' in a store for $60 or less I'd snap it up easy, I just love the artwork and everything about it...

BTW, is the album even supposed to be called 'Walls Have Ears'? The spine just says "This record is called.... WALLS HAVE EARS This record is called.... THE SONIC YOUTH SOUND EXPERIENCE This record is called .... NOT 1", and in the liners it says "This record is called "This Time, The Last Time + Here's To The Next Time" and credits it as a 'Wallz-Have-Earz Production'....

Chris Lawrence 04.30.2010 04:29 PM

oops you gotta click the link to the 'SST over 35 vids...' comp to see the SS screencap.

Rob Instigator 04.30.2010 04:46 PM

I have never even seen a walls have ears in real life.

CHOUT 04.30.2010 10:56 PM

I found WHE in a record co-op for $25, I think about a minute apart from finding a Zensor copy of CIS (with the wrong lp labels) for $18 in an adjacent bin. This was a while ago...I don't think this would be likely to ever happen again - my best dual record score ever.

blunderbuss 05.01.2010 12:39 AM

^
I had a similar experience with my Walls Have Ears. I was browsing in a secondhand record shop and found Butthole Surfers "Double Live". I couldn't resist buying it... I walked towards the counter, and as I did so, on a shelf to my left, I saw Walls Have Ears, just sitting there, looking at me seductively, like some Amsterdam whore. There was no way I could refuse.

Chris Lawrence 05.01.2010 01:35 AM

i saw 'double live' once, with all the inserts, and couldn't afford it at the time. :(

finding them both simultaneously would be too good to be true!

Rob Instigator 05.01.2010 02:58 PM

Double Live is great. got it with inserts and without

Mortte Jousimo 05.03.2010 09:24 AM

I think Boomkat.com still carries the HL/E 7".

Edit: out of stock (http://boomkat.com/vinyl/21645-sonic...berg-eyeliner), but still easily available at http://www.discogs.com/sell/list?rel...rt=price%2Casc.
