OK, folks, time to dredge up some black memories here. Thinking back, what were some of the vinyl or cd albums that you passed up- for whatever reason-only to be kicking yourself now that you do not have them?

Here are some gems that I held in my hands but did not buy (reasons in quotes):

Vitamin Z -Rites Of Passage cd. "I have the vinyl."
Hasyi Fantaysee - cd "Not exactly sure if I know this band."
The Windbreakers - At Home With Bobby & Tim cd. "I have the cassette." (I did eventually get this one on cd but after some hard searching)
The Dance - In Lust lp. "Did not have the money."
The dBs -Like This cd. "I'll get it later. This should not be oop anytime soon."
The Dream Syndicate - Medicine Show cd. "Did not have the money."
Secession 12" Anthology cd. "I do not own a cd player." I am sure there was this cd. I remember seeing it at J&R Music World in Manhattan back in 1985. Does anyone else know if this ever existed? Or was I dreaming?

Anyway, these are regrettable experiences. How about you? [}:)]

1996. Duluth, big honkin used bookstore.

YOR: The Hunter from the Future soundtrack.

YOR was this shitty sci-fi movie that was adapted from an Italian miniseries. Bad MST3k movie. Good soundtrack with the main title track being a Queen-like song.

Devildog, if I had a nickel for every time I passed on something...
Here's the ones I regret:

Skinnytie,

I am currently acquiring Nick Lowe's back catalog as well. I just got Knick the Knife and have ordered Labour of Lust, Jesus of Cool, and The Abominable Snowman. These titles are getting very expensive. All I need is Rose of England, any

"Happy Families" by Blancmange (this just went for $266 on eBay)

Are you sure?
I have this record.

Why $266?

FYI

The recent 'deluxe' version of JOE JACKSON's "Night And Day" CD features most of the "Mike's Murder" soundtrack on the bonus disc.

I've also heard of, but never seen, a recent Joe Jackson import compilation (very best of? collection? whatever

Secession 12" Anthology
Shriekback "Jam Science"

I should know, I could have SWORN i passed up The Lucy Show "Undone" on CD about 10 years ago. Must've been a dream, as

Gee, I wonder if my Artful Dodger (lst album) cd is worth anything? All it is, is a straight re-release of their first album( a fan at the label must have gotten it pressed).

Geez...I too let Happy Families slip through my fingers.

I remember passing up on Secession's Dark Enchantment CD at Tower back in the day, it was 38.00...Paid 80.00 for it 3 years ago on Ebay.

Ah, this is my type of thread [:)]:

Devildog: I just recently got "Rose of England" on eBay. Keep checking there, it pops up from time to time, and it goes for about $20-$30. It's his first two albums/CD's that can get pricey there. I try to avoid t

According to this rather exhaustive discography, 'Jam Science' was not released on cd :

Most of the tracks turned up later on 'Best of Vol 2 - Evolution' and Disc 2 of 'Natural History' but a few we
