What's your most treasured music memoribilia?

Craig Nicholls out of the Vines signed my train ticket. That's about it for music memorabilia and me. My brother went a step further and got a poster signed by the whole band. He lost it years ago, otherwise I'd have pinched it and sold it for a pack of cigarettes ages ago.

I'd have to say my autographed copy of Tori Amos' autobiography.

The whole thing of meeting her, getting the book signed, talking to her. I've been lucky enough to meet a lot of my heroes and other random celebrity-types that I would actually care to meet, but meeting her was and remains near the top of any list I could hope to make.

I have it too and all the others except Hail to the Thief (cant find it) and Pablo Honey (obvious reasons), but I opened all of them.

I use to have a copy of Metallic K.O. from Iggy and the Stooges on vinyl but it was in pretty bad condition. I ended up selling it for pennies when I was getting rid of my record collection before I moved to the UK

My most treasured items include these two "From The Vault" CD collections from Subconscious Communications. 7 discs each, limited edition of 1000 (first pressing), not sold in retail and only available through the label. I know that the packaging for series 2 was assembled by hand by some of the band members, so that's cool. Series 1 may have been also, for all I know. Each series came with a bonus disc that was not for sale and only given to those that ordered the entire 7-disc series as a package rather than buying the releases individually.

Subconscious Communications "From The Vault" Series I
The idea here was to compile material "from the vaults" of Skinny Puppy and their side projects, that was never released, and release it to the fans. After the 1st pressing sold out, a 2nd and 3rd (unnumbered) pressing of most of these CDs was released, some with variations in the artwork/packaging.

Download - III Steps Forward
Download - Inception: The Subconscious Jams 1994-1995
Skinny Puppy - Puppy Gristle
platEAU - Iceolator
Skinny Puppy - Back and Forth Vol. 6: Live Braps and Outakes 1982-2000
The Tear Garden - Eye Spy with my Little Eye
Hilt - The Worst of the Flu 1985-1989
Bonus unreleased 5-track EP exclusive to purchasers of the entire set

Subconscious Communications "From The Vault" Series II
Same concept as the first series, only this one also included a couple of new studio albums (Download and PlatEAU) as well as a couple of remaster LPs combined in double-CD sets with unreleased vault material.

Doubting Thomas - The Infidel - Special Edition Double CD: remastered The Infidel LP, Father Don't Cry EP and 6 unreleased tracks
Download - Furnace: Redux - Special Edition Double CD: remastered Furnace LP and new mix/collection CD of original Furnace-era jams
Download - Fixer: New 2007 LP
platEAU - Kushbush - Special Edition Double CD: New 2007 LP and a 10 year special edition Music for Grassbars
The Tear Garden - The Secret Experiment
Hilt/Patsy - Minoot Bowl Dropped the Ball
Skinny Puppy - Back and Forth Vol. 7
Rare - Bonus unreleased 13-track CD of various Subcon artists, exclusive to purchasers of the entire set

Also,

Various Artists: Black Box: Wax Trax! Records, The First 13 Years 3 CD Set (original metal box edition)
This collects tracks from the golden era of Wax Trax! Records, some of the best cuts by some of my favorite industrial acts. And it's a really nice out of print metal box.

Right now, it's just my giant Frances the Mute poster.

boo boo · 06-07-2009, 02:47 PM

My DSOTM t shirt, it's a real chick magnet.

gunnels · 06-07-2009, 02:48 PM

I have one too, it just doesn't have the triangle or the beam of light.

boo boo · 06-07-2009, 02:53 PM

How can you even call that a DSOTM t shirt then?

But seriously, I wear that damn shirt and chicks are 50% more likely to want to talk to me, it's great.

So yeah, I'll have to personally thank Roger Waters and David Gilmour when I finally get laid.
