Pressing numbers for rare EC vinyl items ??

Post by boxbro »

Hello,

Anyone know of a discography resource that lists the pressing #'s of Elvis Costello albums? The main EC discography that is online is a valuable resource, but I'm curious to know "how many" of certain rare or limited edition EC items were actually pressed...

For example, I was curious about the following items in my collection:

I have a "My Aim / This Year's" picture disc, signed by both Elvis & Nick Lowe
Image

The GOLD/BLACK speckled 12" vinyl version of "Armed Forces" LP
Image

The BLUE vinyl (Belgium) version of "My Aim.." :

....and a few other items that I've always been curious about. So - does anyone know of a resource where I can find out how many of certain of these items were pressed?? Perhaps the best resource might be some of you other EC Collectors in the forum here...

Thanks for your help.

my unprofessional opinion is that you could get probably each of these for $30-$40 on ebay if you wait them out. except for the dual autographed one probably puts that over $50-$60! maybe we should all take pictures here of some of our RARE vinyls just for the heck of it! but, i will have to learn how to post a photo; probably from my 20's something daughter!

Wow, i sense some sarcasm here?

I appreciate your "unprofessional" opinion, but if you review my original posting, you'll see that I wasn't inquiring into the $$ value of the items (as I'm not interested in selling them), but rather some information into the number of items that were pressed, which would provide some clarity on how common or "rare" they might be.

By the way, no need to bother your daughter..it really is quite easy to post photos into your posts - right click any photo that you'd like to add, go to "properties" and copy its URL....then click the "IMG" tab above your message box and paste the URL between the [img]and[/img] :

like this : [img]the%20url%20goes%20here[/img]

got it?

you're welcome...

...and by all means, you SHOULD go ahead and post some pics of your collection. We are all EC fans, that's why we are here and I'd love to get a look at some of the great items that people in here have...

As I mentioned previously, photos of my collection are at : http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.c ... D=28223021

And my live show archive is at : http://www.geocities.com/rmunozlive

Hope those pic posting instructions work and let me know if you need more assistance.

Regards....

The only semi-rare vinyl I have: Demon KOA with bonus album, 12" Londons Brilliant Parade EP, "A Conversation with Elvis Costello" and Elvis Costello introduces the tracks on his new album "Almost Blue".
