^sold that copy of Battleship Grey, so I no longer have it...
i'd say DE has one of the rarest vinyls that would at least be in demand... an acetate of salt tank's "eugina (progressive summer mix)". i mean acetates are a whole different story though because they are "one-offs" so to speak...
either way, i bet DE or waxhead have me beat. :( |

Keith, if I ever see (or hear about) another copy, you'll be the first to know ;) I'm sure DE has quite a few acetates besides that Salt Tank one, I'd be interested to know what some of his rare records are.
I have a few rare tunes, some of which haven't been entered in Discogs. Two very rare ones:
1) Airtight - Sealed (acetate) - track played by Dave Ralph on Tranceport 2, never released.
2) Digital Dubz - You Know We Roll (Whassup) [Mo'Wax Records] - rumored only 10 copies were pressed. |

(nicked from discogs forum, from the topic "the rarest record ever")
Pioneers 10 and 11, which preceded Voyager, both carried small metal plaques identifying their time and place of origin for the benefit of any other spacefarers that might find them in the distant future. With this example before them, NASA placed a more ambitious message aboard Voyager 1 and 2-a kind of time capsule, intended to communicate a story of our world to extraterrestrials. The Voyager message is carried by a phonograph record-a 12-inch gold-plated copper disk containing sounds and images selected to portray the diversity of life and culture on Earth. The contents of the record were selected for NASA by a committee chaired by Carl Sagan of Cornell University. Dr. Sagan and his associates assembled 115 images and a variety of natural sounds, such as those made by surf, wind and thunder, birds, whales, and other animals. To this they added musical selections from different cultures and eras, and spoken greetings from Earth-people in fifty-five languages, and printed messages from President Carter and U.N. Secretary General Waldheim. Each record is encased in a protective aluminum jacket, together with a cartridge and a needle. Instructions, in symbolic language, explain the origin of the spacecraft and indicate how the record is to be played. The 115 images are encoded in analog form. The remainder of the record is in audio, designed to be played at 16-2/3 revolutions per minute. It contains the spoken greetings, beginning with Akkadian, which was spoken in Sumer about six thousand years ago, and ending with Wu, a modern Chinese dialect. Following the section on the sounds of Earth, there is an eclectic 90-minute selection of music, including both Eastern and Western classics and a variety of ethnic music. Once the Voyager spacecraft leave the solar system (by 1990, both will be beyond the orbit of Pluto), they will find themselves in empty space. It will be forty thousand years before they make a close approach to any other planetary system. As Carl Sagan has noted, “The spacecraft will be encountered and the record played only if there are advanced spacefaring civilizations in interstellar space. But the launching of this bottle into the cosmic ocean says something very hopeful about life on this planet.”
Information About the Earth and Its Inhabitants Included on the Record Want to know more about Voyager's record?
The definitive work about the Voyager record is "Murmurs of Earth" by Sagan, Drake, Lomberg et.al. Basically, this book is the story behind the creation of the record, and includes a full list of everything on the record. "Murmurs of Earth", originally published in 1978, was reissued in 1992 by Warner News Media and includes a CD-ROM that replicates the Voyager record. Unfortunately, this book is now out of print, but it is worth the effort to try and find a used copy or browse through a library copy.

Know what? Unless we somehow avoid blowing ourselves up, and unless we figure out some way to leave this solar system before our sun explodes, those four probes will be the ONLY evidence that our planet ever existed. What are the chances of someone finding four small, and by that time completely non-operational, probes out in inter-stellar space? |
