think of stuff like out of print records flyers posters trinkets.

i got a first pressing of live choice series as far as records go, but a friend took me to a show in memphis for my birthday. she asked me what i wanted and i said the setlist. buzz said they didn't have a setlist at that point so he took a paper plate and wrote "the melvins set list...  ?"  its my favorite paper plate of all time.

Sealed original first pressing of Lysol on vinyl. Before the title was covered with black tape.

I also have the first test pressing of Stag on vinyl.

That 5 inch is sure hard to listen to. I've got to move the arm out very slowly, so it doesn't automatically return.

Oh boy! I get to brag!

I've got a couple melvins dolls, from different tours. Those are pretty rare. But my most prized possession is an original blue melvins 8-track. See, there are only 100 8-tracks, but there are only FIVE blue ones. That's right. One out of five. It lives in ia display case on my bookshelf:)

your 8-track is even more rare than that, the people didn't even get to make 100 of them because the 8-track recorder they had broke at around 80 something.

i think the rarest melvins item i own is the melvins meat, i believe there was less than 200 of those made.  also the grumpy's 7"s

This is a bit early...but....I might have Buzz's cum in my ass, in two days.

I have what looks like a record store promo poster for the 3 seperate trilogy discs (not the 3 disc set) that I'd still love even if Buzz hadn't written on it.  Among other things it says "a trilogy that will guide you through a lost world of obscurity, obsure confusion, hopeless cannibalism and cholesterol".  

He was just checking out the club before they played.  I met him, grabbed the poster and asked him to sign it.  Neither he or I had a pen!  He dissapeared, but after about 15 minutes I found one and walked backstage (where was any kind of security?), found their dressing room and knocked on the door.

Buzz just wrote "King Buzzo likes candy !!!!" on it.  To this day I kick myself for not getting them all to sign it.
There's a lot of things blamed on me that never happened.  But then, there's a lot of things that I did that I never got caught at.

Melvins meat! I tried really hard to get some of that when it was around, but it was to pricey. Actually, I think there's only 100 cans. At any rate, someone on the melvins list opened up a can and ate it with Dale. So there's really either 99 or 199.

Is Electoretard considered rare? I just got a new copy last month from a vendor on CDNow...hmm. I guess I should list the HAT singles as well since I've been picking them up at my local record store, only have the 1st 3 right now. I'm going to declare my copy of Stag rare since I paid almost $40.00 for it. Just got it today, gonna go listen.
