The other thread got me thinking if there are actual "holy grail" records. Records that are so rediculously rare that they never ever show up and even the biggest pockets couldnt turn one up. Records that even the dealers in Utrecht have only heard rumours off.

Tickawinda? -
I've had two Tickawinda LP's & a dealer in Oldham got two off the market there. kept one for myself as it's quite simply sublime.

Sorry to go all Mojo, but The Quarrymen acetate? I don't know why Record Collector even bothers valuing it. It belongs to a member of The Beatles who happens to be a multi-millionaire. "Err, Sir Paul, see if I gave you a million pounds, would you sell me that Quarrymen acetate? Oh, okay. What about two million? Three?"Club stuff: www.facebook.com/DivineGlasgow

Yeah, that;s true...and pretty funny. I would think the title of GRAIL would go to an orig UK pressing of Nicholas Greenwood - Cold Cuts. If you do a search on various archives of ebay sales, you find one went for about gbp3,000 in Oct 2013 and then you would have to go back to Jan of 2005, to find another one that sold. Around 9 years gap between sales on ebay is quite incredible, IMO.Originally posted by The Divine One View PostComment

I have yet to find proof of the existence of the Peter Wyngarde Promo 7" for the RCA LP - Always listed in RRPG but no one ever had a copy for sale or no picture anywhere. To me, this is my Holy grail and what brought me to this site in the first placeComment

Dodo Resurrection has been confirmed to be a prank. It was one of those things where someone makes up a title of a collectable lp and they wait to see who says they have a copy. Usually the type of people trying to win some sort of pissing contest. Then the one who made it up, sits back and has a good laugh. It;s an old trick but it works sometimes.Originally posted by smashingcheesegromit View PostComment

I occasionally get into Googling records via a dude I knows Rate Your Music page where he lists his collection. Totally obscure private stuff. The only Googleable mention ever is either his RYM page or Tony Coulter playing it on WFMU. This seems to be a some weird world of next level collecting. The truth is out there, somewhere:
"As technology has advanced, vinyl records are outdated as they are music from the 19th Century so only hipsters and elderly people buy vinyl records".

I don't suppose you would be able to post a link to this?
