We seem to have a lot of people with very eclectic tastes on DS so I was interested in what ultra-rare recording people on DS might own and what it might tell us about them.
I own a couple of recordings that I'm pretty sure I would be the only person on DS claiming ownership. The first would be a bootleg of The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart playing the worst set I've ever heard- anyone-else would have smashed the CD into a million pieces
The other recording I own is 'Go Figure' by "Screw Shareholder Value - Not So Much A Band As Another Opportunity To Waste Money On Drugs And Ammunition courtesy Of The Idiots At Time Warner". This was basically an album 'recorded' by Andrew Eldritch with two obscure techno artists just using his voice as part of the release from his record contract with East West. Aside from the 'StFU' track (consisting of Andrew repeating this phrase over and over again ) it is indeed appalling- Eldritch removed all the drums from the record whilst the only recordings that have been leaked allegedly come from mp3's despite unscrupulous record sellers claiming otherwise :eek: 
What recording of interest do you own that stand out from those owned by other on DS? Does your lover own records of obscure interest?

I am probably the only one on DS who owns To My Boy - Messages and perhaps theSTART - Ciao, Baby (and Initiation).
Strangely I love the song, but I swear to God everyone else on this forum hates her
Haha
Threads like this are where I'm useless - I know absolutely no music which others won't of heard of or own
Sadly it was also a pretty accurate title.
Human Instinct - Stoned Guitar
Blerta - Blerta
Anal C*nt - It Just Gets Worse
I've got most of their albums
I've been going to see unsigned bands for over a decade and usually buy a CD when I'm there, so possibly have a few hundred CDs that no one else owns on here.
In fact my user name is based on a band I saw 10 years ago.
I think a couple of my most obscure records would be:
Johnnyboy - You Are The Generation That Bought More Shoes And You Get What You Deserve. Brilliant record from 2004.
Everything that scottish band Ballboy ever released. Including their fantastic 2002 single entitled "All the Records on the Radio are Shite."
It would be great if anyone else does own these though.
Tily & the Wall - Wild Like Children
I own that one.
I have that, and loads of their other songs too
Directors - I'll Wait For Sound
The Weak's End by Emery
Pretty much any song by Adam Gnade
Hometowns by The Rural Alberta Advantage (my very favourite album)
86-97 by Anal Mucus.
I've got 'Sash' from Ballboy as well as all the stuff off his site including 'All The Songs On The Radio' but I don't have that single. I heard of him when he did 'I don't have time to stand here with you fighting about the size of my dick'
That Johnnyboy album sounds very familiar and I'd be surprised if songs from it hadn't turned up on some compilations I have
Guitars101.com
Own a few bootlegs from Montreux Jazz Festival - one imported from Switzerland and the other from Japan. Lots of prince bootlegs, Ronnie Wood, Santana...
I like you guys.
Nice one, Ballboy have done some brilliant stuff, and Johnnyboy did some great sort of motown/Phil Spector/ err indie, stuff. It was interesting, anyway.
Another one of my favourite albums from a few years back was The Decoration - Don't Disappoint Me Now. Don't suppose anyone else has that? Great album.
No, I've got that one!
Stoney
Billie The Vision & The Dancers
Everlast
Julian Plenti
The XX
Semisonic
Shriekback
and the such like
Hehe, I'm more into indie/rock/pop-punk, but if a corker of a pop song comes along, I won't say no!
I don't think I have any music that no one else listens to. Well, there are some unsigned bands on youtube that I really like and am subscribed to and listen to a lot, and then I have a few friends in bands with their mates who have sent me downloads of their songs. But I wouldn't own any of that if I didn't know them, so as far as I can think, no, well, there might be the odd few here and there, but I can bet people on here will know them.
Oh, no, wait. I've just remembered one I own, that I'm pretty positive no one on the music forum owns:
I (Who Have Nothing) - Mary Byrne
I committed the sin of buying it last week. I repent, yet still enjoy listening to it

Massive Tilly and The Wall fan
Trouble - Psalm 9
Sebastian Bach - Angel Down
Joe Perry - Have Guitar, Will Travel
Deliverance - Weapons Of Our Warfare
Amazing. I bloody loved that album. I'm going to put it on my ipod.
I've always heard their stuff because other bands I like, mainly CSS, keep bigging them up. I do like Beat Control, though.
I'm pretty sure people will have heard of Semisonic (if only for Secret Smile) and The xx (especially after their Mercury win)
