so what would be the the most expensive not necessarily on ur list

*AndyK* · 11 Jan 2010, 01:13

Depends what you're classing as an item here. Are you limiting it to recordings only or other collectibles?

mickp · 11 Jan 2010, 01:42

There's the 'known to exist' but in Meat's vault stuff like pro shot 89/90 concerts, the Bat 2 concert video with Jim. Demos and outtakes for any of Meat's albums (Incl Bad for good)

I suppose the rarest thing of all would be Jim' notebook with the songs for Renegade Angel!

The Couldn't Have Said It Better LP ... where the sides are mislabeled (i.e. Side A is labled as Side B and vice versa)

There is someone who claims to own a Dead Ringer 35mm print.

Good for me.

I would guess, however, that either the Popcorn Blizzard single or the Clap Your Hands / Stand By Me single on ODE Records (which was never commercially released) would be the rarest/hardest to find.

There is at least one audience recording of a Storytellers show as I've heard snippets posted on a Meat fan site that now doesn't exist.

what live tracks are on live in europe '82?

this a Soundtrack version of the Video release???

Evil One · 11 Jan 2010, 13:59

None. It's called Live In Europe but it just has a couple of studio tracks from Bat 1 and Dead Ringer. Nothing to get excited about.

this clear vinyl is quite rare its also in a black vinyl and is published in massey bros ireland

**The Flying Mouse** · 11 Jan 2010, 21:41

WEll there are plenty of one off items (the helping hands spring instantly to mind.Also the drum head John sold with all the bands sigs on it) and as there is only one of any particular one off (makes them one offs I suppose

) it's impossible to get more rare than that.

But to answer the question of what is most expensive, you have to look at a factor which is even more important than how rare something is.

Desirability.

For instance, does anyone remember the raindeer Meat painted for charity?

Quite charming in it's way, but I don't think too many people would go a whole bundle on the item now it's long ago and far away.
The hype that originaly surrounded it has gone.

Of course desirability is down to personal taste, which means that the ulimate collectors item (and i'm guessing that's what this thread is out to find) must be something that is very rare yet something that most fans find very desirable.

faolteam · 11 Jan 2010, 21:45

something that is very rare yet, something that most fans find very desirable and would love .

suzieq · 11 Jan 2010, 21:49

Personally, I find the elusive red scarf rare, highly desirable, and would absolutely love to frame it.

Dave · 12 Jan 2010, 04:27

I have Paul Crook's white mask from DO IT from the CHSIB Tour...It is autographed by the entire NLE, does that count for anything?

Paul Crook will forever be my hero for that
