Title: What is the Melvins merchandise "Holy Grail"?
Post by: TOOL on July 08, 2012, 12:45:09 PM
Is it the Trilogy?  The fetus?  the Senile Animal box with the belt buckle & comic?  What's your opinion and do you own it?

I really love my can of Melvins Meat but I would sure like to have the fetus.

Well.. Maybe. That one is. Very high on my holy grail
List. Most of that other stuff doesn't interest me too much.
That Lysol unsensored and the electroretard test pressing are easily 1 and 1a for me.
I'm a huge Beatles fan too, that sealed unsensored Lysol is like the butcher cover first state for me. Having the Lysol sealed ensures that the tape has not been removed via heat gun or blow dryer.
Got enough money saved to pull the trigger on both when I see them.

Forgot another holy Grail too, the Melvin's live at slims 8 track.

Holy Grails (have) for me would be the Electroretard test press, the The End test press and the 6 swastikas.

Holy Grails (want) would be the Fan Club newsletters/video/etc., the other skateboard and, yes, a sealed uncensored Lysol LP.

Oh, and a set of the Nirvana/Melvins splits in all the colour variations. They're the last on my list, though, as they're so expensive and you're never really sure if you're going to get a bootleg or not.

Wasn't there a link somewhere to find out the difference between the real and bootlegged Melvins/Nirvana split?  I've had mine for at least 15 years, and I believe it's real, but I'd like to know for sure.

Deep six is a nice piece. I missed out on that dozens of times when it used to sell for $50, now it can't be found for less than $80-100!

i am only after vinyl... no testpresses though.
hardest to get for me was the spit it out 7". the rarest piece i own: orange endless residency box.
holds a special place in my heart: lysol uncensored cassette.
also neither here or there on hardcover is really worth it. you can have a look at the book without destroying it.

the rest has been said already.

I would think the fetus is the holy grail of melvins merch.  I have the trilogy but it arrived - some eyars ago - from Cinderblock badly damaged.  I raised a stink about this with Cinderblock who couldn't have been more hateful and shitty about the issue.  Fuck those guys.

Learned me to buy from Buzz and Dale direct.

Totally unrelated to Melvins, but I'm posting this anyway - during the Adam West years of Batman, Burt Ward used to have the ultimate form of an autograph. He called it the "Bat-Sperm". Girls only though.

I think the answer for the Melvin's Holy Grail of merch would be something that is the most rare? The first mumu used live, an instrument used in a recording? The Melvins van???

The EMP wants to chop it up to get it inside, and yes, he needs the money.  I'll put a link to it in the original thread when it goes back on auction.

Well, here are someone's Holy Grails. The orange one is an example of one of four, I believe, which were given to the band (Nirvana); the pink example is even rarer and the only one known to exist in this colour:

How can there only be one of the pink splatter ones?  Don't there have to be a series of varying splatter mixes as the colours are mixed?
Title: Re: What is the Melvins merchandise "Holy Grail"?
Post by: jules on February 11, 2015, 04:53:48 PM
The pink one may have been one of the last of the line seeing as how many colours have been mixed into it. Generally they are marbled with the addition of one extra colour, but have you seen another with this much going on in it before?

Would like to go see splatters and marbled vinyl being pressed one day.

I don't think it's an 'official' release.  You can get anything printed on golf tees for around $30.

Nope. It's awesome that Dale played drums for the reunion though. Andrew (one of the WP singers) told me they had wanted to do a reunion for a while but no one wanted to reprogram the drum machine.

Your Dale Crover action figure can sit in the cab. Dress him as a truck driver first.

Highlighters.  :P  It's an old toy truck I've had since I was a little kid.  Found it along with some of those stickers from when they were giving them away at shows in 2004 or so.

Around 2016, some guy(maybe more?) took a 3d scan of the melvins, with the supposed intent of auctioning them/selling them(?) I don't think they ever went up for sale.

I'm really surprised with all the action figures of bands coming out that they haven't done something like that yet. Maybe with no touring that's something they will be doing next year haha. That company super 7 has done a ton of musicians in the vintage style action figures on cool cards. Hell I'd buy a Houdini one with the two headed dog. Make the card look like the cover of Houdini. I imagine there are rights involved in all of that. But hey, I'd also buy Melvins figures that look like army men too 😅

Clean and crisp, to be honest I did not make a comparison yet between the TP and the re-release.
I should do a listening session with some friends the way we did with the Chokebore A Taste For Bitters re-releases...

Bump. Anyone still have holy grails they want? I'm having a spring clean. PM me with your desires.

6-sw**tika Trilogy is for sale FYI, hilariously difficult to shift on eBay without being accused of hate crimes!

Same thing with a guy I know trying to sell a John Wayne Gacy self-portrait that Gacy did in jail. He said whenever he puts it up for sale on eBay they take the listing down within 24 hours, he's been sitting on it for decades and just can't sell it.

Private edition of trilogy is probably my holy grail. But I'm sure I can't currently afford it and I'm worried it'd be used against me in a court of law.
