While waiting in the car to pick up one of my children today, I had my phone plugged into the stereo and the randon selector threw up a tune which I've found no information on at all.
It got me wondering, how many records did I have that there appears to be no trace on the internet? I reckon I've a handful but then I do like my private presses and stuff which I'll admit has a really limited possible audience (UK country from the 70's)...
But If I've got a handful then the odds say that most people on here should have one or possibly more, or perhaps some specialise in this sort of thing. I'm forever seeing comps promoting "Unknowns"... so how common are unknown, ungoogleable, "only 1 known copy" records? Not perhaps as uncommon as we might believe?
This thread could go in a number of ways, but lets assume that these records you may or may not have, have to be what you would term "keepers", that the music is worthwhile of a wider audience than it currently has.
So how many of you are harbouring any of these type records and would anyone be prepared to contribute to a thread on them or perhaps a comp...? Or is it all a bit keeping your cards close to your chest, and you enjoy owning and enjoying solely something no one else has?
