Rarest Item
 

so i guess the next question what is the rarest meat loaf item ??? and if i can be bold as to say whats the rarest bootleg item :roll:

A couple:

1. The Deadringer promo Live tour Documentary
2. The Dead Ringer Movie (thats probably lost forever)
3. CHSIB LP
4. various BOOH2 LP edditions
5. Agora's Ballroom radio promo LP
6. The Coke Live cd
7. Rock & Roll mercenaries misprint "exploded" edition picture disk when in fact its the regular mix included backed iwth an edited RPM (Fades out a few seconds early). its a see-through LP too
8. one of Meat's original red scarfs
9. That soundboard that got thrown away in In search of Paradise
10. The more Then you deserve 1973 single
11. Popcorn Blzzard promo LP
12. Radio Broadcast from Tower Theater as stated in the autobiography
13. an audience recording of a Storytellers show which as of now isnt known to exist.

well then
 

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

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

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!

ok so lets say Vinyl
 

what vinyl would be the rarest be it single or album

The zimbabwean double LP of BOOHII

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.

Lets track this guy down. Ill give him my 5 million dollars

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.

well i
 

have the clear vinyl live in europe 82 and i have the Bat out of hell II ita a blue vinyl with a big A and a big B on the other side anyone seen that not sure if its a promo or original recording :lol:

what live tracks are on live in europe '82? :shock:

this a Soundtrack version of the Video release???

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.

If I rememebr correctly it was released as a promo item to coincide with Meat 1982 European tour.

Good promo: mislead the buyer into thinking its live

i disagree
 

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

:twisted: 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 :shrug: ) 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.

ok so how about this :
 

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

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

Suzieq

Eva parted with a lot very rare stuff. I bet you remember that.;)

:twisted: :drool:

Dead Ringer movie ahoy. i think us fans more then desire to watch that

:weee:

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 :-)
