| Well, I just got my 'break' so to speak with this vinyl. Anyone have any cool limited pressings that did or did not get released, but only in a certain amount? I'm sure either Keithos or DragonsEmerald will probly say this is a n00b rarity or something :p |

I actually got my hands on a test pressing of
Depeche Mode - Here Is The House (Gabriel & Dresden Bootleg)
on vinyl. I nearly orgasmed when I saw it. Perfect, unmixed verison! Needless to say, I've been dropping it in my sets ever since. I don't exactly know how rare it is, but I doubt it's going to get a proper release. Anyone have any info? |

| Don't know if rare or not , but it means a lot to me. The original pressing of Blank and Jones - Cream (with the Paul van Dyk remix on the flip)... difference is tho that I have played warm up for B&J and PvD so mine is signed by Paul, Piet and Jaspar. |

i think you will have a hard time beating this..
(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.
