This is what I don't get about this thread. How are these rare? There's loads of copies in existence, they're just all sold out. They're in demand, not rare. Compare some of these, which might've had over 1000 pressed to something like the Hidden Hawaii pieces, or Area Recordings pieces that were limited to a couple of hundred.

The way I see it, rarity is a difference in supply and demand. Those records are rare imo because there is quite a bit of demand without that much supply anymore. I see your point though and I also have records like the cold storage record (run of 300) However the records I first mentioned have "scarcity value" :-/

So it's more "rarely available" than rare. I get it.

Yeah, thats a good way to put it

He works under a new name either producing house or techno. Pretty much left dubstep and gave away a lot of free tunes.

Correct, I think they're all sold out though

They are, sadly enough.
I'd kill for any of 'em!

Rwdfwd material is rare as hell.

How u define rare idd, could discus about that, however, some of my (what I find) 'rare' plates (based, more or less, on discogs...):

SDUBS001 - Unknown Artist - It's a pity/ Police in helicopter
PENGSOUND001 - Gorgon Sound
LIONDUBS001 Tes - Wah do Dem / We nah run
GENERAL01 RSD - No General / Kingdom
JAHLIGHT RSD
WX/WL001 Compa & Mavado - Dem a talk
AWD001 Coki - Lucifer/Ruff Lovin'
SWAMP003 Kryptic Minds - Badman
SWAMP001 Kryptic Minds - Six Degrees
TEC003 Loefah & Skream - Fearless/ 28g
BANDULU001
DMZ023 Mala - Eyez VIP
MS001
NOPPA006
TWICE001
GETREADYMS
RNG007 Kromestar Get Up / Cluekid Hovercraft
WAR 017 OSC & Oogun - Fuss & Fight
WAR 015 Dj Madd - Reggae Ambassador
WAR 018 Jing Bong Ting - Dennis Brown tribute EP
(got some more wars, but less 'rare')

problably forgetting some...so proud of my vinyl collection. Still a big wantlist too If u sell early DMZ or WAR, contact me!! Also can't wait to have my own copy of Mala - In luv

I guess having most of DMZ001-010, 'Alicia' and 'Burnin' and some early Toasty and Tempa white labels are probably my rarest as far as what people are willing to pay for them although they aren't the one's I'd value the most. Toasty 'The Knowledge/Sun' or Vex'd 'Canyon/Pop Pop' are probably the last dubstep records I'd ever want to sell

Still too poor to affort ASBO. Heartache.

rarest vinyls I have are grime dubplates of bootlegs and tracks like ice rink 2
