Are we talking white whales that were actually pressed or white whales that have never been on vinyl? If the latter, Lovely Little Lonely is pretty near the top of the list. If the former, the first three Butch Walker solo albums, especially Letters. Letters is my number 1 “please press this and I can die a happy man” album.

 

Act of Depression, Cries of the Past and The Changing of Times. Haha. A little bit of Christian black metal for you ;)

 

Another big never-been-pressed one for me: Cary Brothers - Who You Are.

 

Oh actually I just thought of mine, Charlie Simpson - Young Pilgrim and Long Road Home. I think Young Pilgrim's masters got lost in a fire or something if I remember correctly?

 

I guess I didn't specify but was thinking about albums that have been pressed. But it makes for an interesting topic so totally include those that haven't been pressed.

I have a looooong list of T&N albums I would love pressed. Unoriginal Vinyl hopefully will knock some of those out

 

‘this could be Shiner

 

... we may have different definitions of "easily" - last I looked all of those were well over 3 figures on discogs.

 

Dang really? I thought that little NFT stunt they ran a while back had tons of variants for those albums.

 

Oh, and another couple “have been pressed but are impossible to find” albums:

Augustana - Can’t Love, Can’t Hurt
Sara Bareilles - Kaleidoscope Heart

 

Yeah Spartan tested that they signed Shiner awhile ago. If so, my wallet is going to hate me.

 

Yes to both of those!!

I wish All the Stars and Boulevards would get pressed one day.

 

With you mentioning Charlie... I'd love to see Fighstar "Grand Unification" get a first press!

 

Oh and add ACB - Hell or High Water to the list I want pressed

 

White whales:

Beck - Midnite Vultures
Counting Crows - Recovering the Satellites

 

I won't list my preorders lined up as I've been doing some retail therapy the last week and a bit haha.

As for white whales:

Mastodon - Crack the Skye deluxe 45rpm
Lifehouse - No Name Face
The Fray - How to Save a Life
This Day and Age - Always Leave the Ground
The Bled - Pass the Flask
Juliana Theory - Understand This is a Dream
Poison the Well - Versions
Zao - Self Titled
Misery Signals - Of Malice and the Magnum Heart
Gallows - Grey Britain
Hopesfall - No Wings to Speak of EP
Beloved - The Running EP
Augustana - Can't Love, Can't Hurt
Sara Bareilles - Kaleidoscope Heart
Counting Crows - This Desert Life
Tool - Aenima
Beck - Mellow Gold
Better Than Ezra - Deluxe
Feeder - Polythene
Matt Nathanson - Last of the Great Pretenders

This year I've been fortunate enough to score some grails like The New Frontiers (as you all may remember), Hidden in Plain View "Life in Dreaming" , The Swellers "Ups and Downsizing" and NFG "Nothing Gold Can Stay". Also the Hum reissues of Electra 2000 and YPAA!

 

White whales

All the TSL albums
Identity Crisis to complete the Thrice collection
Nothing Gold Can Stay
Bayside’s Self Titled
Chroma
A Mark, A Mission, A Brand, A Scar
The Everglow
Fourty Hour Train Back To Penn

I wrote the above earlier and got distracted. I’ll stick with these for now.

 

Unoriginal, has been doing a spot on job with all these T&N/Solid State first/represses.

I'd love to see Slow Coming Day get a first press. One of my best buds reached out to them in regards to it. They said they tried to make it happen but the whole T&N and Capital records fiasco.

 

It's a bummer when you are excited to receive a specific variant of an album that you got lucky on ordering, then they send you the wrong one. lol.

 

Dang

 

SMLXL had a random $10 sale and I was able to snag How to Save a Life. It's crazy how much that is going for now

 

That would be a real gut punch.

 

White Whales:

Sara Bareilles - Kaledoscope Heart
All 3 TSL albums
NFG - Catalyst
The Honorary Title - Anything Else But the Truth
The Maine - Lovely Little Lonely

 

This is very LOL-worthy after this last Friday but

New Found Glory- From the Screen To Your Stereo

 

I’d love any of those Augustana records really, but the first two especially.
