This might be a little excessive...I thought I was happy with 15 copies of the Have Heart Demo 7". I had a lot of the special fest and tour presses with plenty of variety and color. I even posted about them here and here.
I guess in the end 15 just wasn't enough.
I love the B9 board. If you can muck through the 4374 inane, sexist, racist and homophobic messages posted there each day, there is no better place to score vinyl. Thanks to Bryan R. selling off his very large collection on the board before ebay, I was able to acquire 18 more.
I have had requests in the past to try to come up with a complete pressing info list of the demo. I will give it a shot but please help out if you know more. Here is the picture again and my corresponding list from top to bottom starting left to right.

There may be more. If you have any that I am missing and are ready to unload, let me know. Put me out of my misery!
wow i cant even imagine how much that collection is worth. def need to get a few copies of these.
ReplyDeleteDoug, this is both awesome & tragic at the same time. Haha!
ReplyDeleteI think I have about 8 copies of this thing. I'm thinking I should let most of them go. Clearly I am never going to get anywhere near this many copies. Nor would I want to. So what the hell is the point of having like 8? Yes, that's right - there isn't one. I only wish I had one you don't so I could help you out.
I watched one of the olive/8 copies with color sleeve end at $96 a couple of days ago. So on the basis of that it looks like you still need to sink another $500 or so into this collection. Good luck!
Jeeesus christ. This is why I'm glad I never became a Have Heart collector. Good on you for committing though. Mind if I live vicariously through you and that collection?
ReplyDeleteThis is insane!
ReplyDeleteFuck. This is AWESOME. I only have 15 copies of the Demo, and this post makes me want to get more! Love it!
ReplyDeleteWhere else in the world would you get someone saying the word "only" next to "have 15 copies"? Ridiculous!
ReplyDeleteThe three of us should start a new blog together called "We are idiots".
I'm trying to think if I have 33 records of even just one band, let alone 1 record! I don't think I do. Maybe h2o. I'm glad I don't collect much from the modern era of hardcore. That picture is completely mental. Who says, "OH you have 18 copies of the same record you're selling? Perfect!" hahaha totally crazy.
ReplyDeleteDidn't jeff put the pressing info of this record, plus the story of why it's out of control, on his myspace page or something?
Jeff did post on the different pressings and how the variants came about, but there are no pressing numbers or even close to the number of colors out there on the crazy 4th and 6th pressings.
ReplyDeleteJeff also posted on the React board a couple days ago on this too and apparently there are wayyyy more out there that were never suposed to see the light of day. Crazy.
Doug... your brother here. Remember that time you gave me a crappy Chrsitmas gift (i.e. every year)? Now I am starting to see why "money is a little tight right now"...
ReplyDeleteBest of luck finishing off the collection. Once you are done, maybe you can start sending me a birthday gift like old times?
I feel your pain Darren. Doug stiffed me out of $3 on some records I ordered for him. Cheap prick.
ReplyDeleteI have the bottled up black/white mix with white labels. Hit me up with an offer, my facebook is linked
ReplyDeletei´ve got a the test pressing of the demo 2003.
ReplyDeleteyou can send me an offer if you need it.
