glockose wrote:If you want to use the word RARE and not value

I would say the Blind Vengence and he LA Guns are still very rare
Then the Lips and Baran Cross
After that Not very rare

The LPs i posted, in the early to mid '90s were legendary among collectors. I remember seeing the Explorer's front cover at RC bootleg CD and i thought that i could never get it. As for Rods and Lips, if someone wanted to buy them, he had to pay a small fortune for them.
Now i bet that there are many collectors that can post a photo like that, they are not considered top rarities.

He's right, I remember the Rods and Lips LP's being offered at dealers lists for 1000 DM similar to a blue Savatage "Sirens"!
But musically ... naja ...

Prices where a lot differant outside the USA.

I just pulled some old lists of mine from the 90's

Rods $200
Lips $250
Exxplorer $175
LA Guns $200
Motly Crus 2nd press $100
Queensrych 206 $60
Q5 $50
Blind Vengence $75
Mass $35
Powerlord $40
Overkill $50
Barron Cross (Blue Vinyl) $100

What are those? They look very Black/Death-ish ...

I just uploaded Bootlegs second album on poisonoise. I haven't heard WC Monster in years but as far as I remember it was really average thrash with some HC in it ... The self titled album is quite good actually in my opinion.

Interesting to see that the price on e.g. Inner Sanctum hasn't changed a bit during the last 15 years. Still looking for a copy of that, so it gives me hope to see it hasn't exploded in price like some of the others.

Also Black Knight now is about €150 in 2012 so not much has changed with that, am I correct? Why is that?

Not Rare, When the band was found in the 90's they had 100's of copies.
I think a board member has a pic of himself with 100 copies spread out in a Hotel room somewhere ....

Black Knight often sells for less than 150 USD, I would guess supply was boosted with the internet age. Interesting that Y Diawled has actually gone down since then, I paid $100 for a brand new copy only last year. Thanks for the snapshot of the past, for those few of us who were not collecting back then.

I don't suppose you have any of these Black Knight laying around?

I have been looking for a copy at a decent price for years, no luck so far.

VILLAIN is also a perfect example, everyone was after a copy about ten, fifteen years ago or so, but you rarley hear it mentioned now. COMMANDER 20$ on the other hand, is the one that is killing me.

I think STREET CHILD or PARADOXX were relatively unknwon in the 90s just like WITCH “Salem’s Rise” was a few years ago. No US singles on your list John, who would have thought that they would become almost as eligible as NWOBHM singles.

I've been looking for a black knight for a decent price too without luck.. :/

I remember XCEL single for $100 or $125 ??(i don't remember) and of course FAR EAST single (when you located BMC i think, a few months later i located Alias Mangler)

When I found BME no one really cared to much.

Far East (1)
Tora Orphen (1)
Theatrics (2)
Works (10)
Zebroid (4)

I only got a few and have never realy found or seen them again that was around 98 or 99

I only know of 1 copy of Far East and of Tora that showed up on ebay
But I dont think a Theatrics ever did.
