Format Category Artist Title Info
(any) Popular (Rock) Minibosses Minibosses (2000) The Minibosses have had three different self-titled CDs -- the one I'm looking for is the original out-of-print one from 2000 (catalog number "KRAID1", though it may not say that anywhere on the CD or packaging) with Wizards and Warriors, Song C, Castlevania 2, Lost Under Rubble, Ghosts N Goblins, Total Eclipse, Contra, Ricky Butler's Lament, Castlevania, GI Joe LIVE, and Kraid Metroid. MP3s of all the tracks were reportedly once available from www.minibosses.com.
(any) Popular (Rock) Public Image Ltd. Commercial Zone Original version of "This is what you want..." before Keith Levine left the band and his input was removed from that album. Released in 1984 (vinyl only?) on PIL Records, XYZ 007. Long out-of-print.
(any) Popular (New Wave / Rock) Various US Festival bootlegs From US Festival '82 day 1, I'd be interested in all of the bands' sets, though especially The B-52's and Oingo Boingo. From day 2 I'd be interested in The Cars. From US Festival '83 day 1 I'd be interested in all the bands, though especially INXS and Oingo Boingo. From day 3 I'd be interested in Berlin, U2, Missing Persons, the Pretenders, and David Bowie. There are apparently various different bootlegs, including soundboard ones. Westwood One also had an 18-record set of the 1983 show which was only available to radio stations and which was apparently broadcast in its entirety in 1983 or 1984. Some guy claimed there was a radio simulcast of the 1983 show but he may have been mis-remembering.
(any) Soundtrack Barry, John Black Hole, The Released, I think, on cassette and vinyl in 1979, but long out-of-print. May be re-released on CD if the rumored Black Hole Archive Edition laserdisc ever comes out.
(any) Soundtrack Jones, Trevor Dark Crystal, The Released on cassette and vinyl in 1982 and again, long out-of-print. Sometime in the 90s (?), a German (?) bootleg CD was released which also contained the soundtrack to a movie called "The Wicked Lady". NY's Footlight Records apparently had it in stock for around $30 at one time, and Super Collector had it for around $100. Dunno if copies are still floating around. In any case, the CD was reportedly copied from an original cassette release of the soundtrack, so it's not exactly of the best quality...
(any) Soundtrack Capitol Records Hi-Q Music Library composers, including (but not limited to?) William Loose Night Of The Living Dead (1968) This was released on vinyl in 1982 or 1983 by Varèse Sarabande (STV 81131) and is out-of-print. Has a green title on top of a B&W photo montage and a green border. One soundtrack collector on alt.horror swore he saw a CD version once (perhaps it was a bootleg).
CD Popular (Electronica / Dance) 808 State Newbuild Out-of-print (and not available from Amazon MP3 or iTunes) as of 2013-02-02. I think the original 1988 release and the 1999/2000(?) reissue are equivalent.
CD Popular (Electronica / Dance) 808 State Quadrastate (2008 13-track reissue, not 1989 original) Out-of-print (and not available from Amazon MP3 or iTunes) as of 2013-02-02.

CD Popular (Synthpop) Anything Box Hope Out-of-print as of 2001-07-18.
CD Single Popular (Techno) Apotheosis O Fortuna This 1995 single is long out-of-print and is hard to get because of a suit due to the samples of the recording of Carl Orff's "Carmina Burana" not having been cleared. One compilation the track appeared on was "Rave Til' Dawn", but that was recalled and replaced with a version that doesn't contain this track. On 1999-10-04, towerrecords.com had this listed, but unsurprisingly, my special order failed.
CD Popular (Ska) Beat, The (AKA The English Beat, The British Beat) Beat This: The Best Of The Beat This U.K. release has a different selection of tracks from the U.S. Beat This: The Best Of The English Beat
CD Popular (New Wave) Blow Monkeys, The Atomic Lullabies: Very Best Of towerrecords.com doesn't say which country this is an import from.
CD Popular (Trip Hop) Cibo Matto Viva! La Woman (Japanese version) The Japanese version of this album contains extra tracks: "Jive", "Sugar Water Remix", and "Aguas De Março". The "Super Relax" EP contains "Aguas" and a couple of "Sugar Water" remixes (not sure if the one here is one of those).
CD Popular (Trip Hop) Cibo Matto Stereo-Type A (Japanese version) The Japanese version of this album contains bonus tracks "Backseat" and "Country".
CD Popular (New Wave) Ferry, Bryan / Roxy Music More Than This: The Best of Bryan Ferry + Roxy Music (U.K. version) U.S. version is out-of-print, though IIRC there's a newer best-of with fewer tracks. This U.K. version of this album includes bonus tracks "Is Your Love Strong Enough" And "Your Painted Smile" which weren't on the U.S. version.
CD Popular (Industrial) KMFDM Naïve (original 1990 out-of-print red-cover WaxTrax! version, not "Naïve / Hell To Go" remixed 1994 in-print green-cover TVT / WaxTrax! version) Out-of-print due to samples that were never cleared. towerrecords.com actually had this listed on 1999-10-04, but unsurprisingly, my special order failed.
CD Popular (Electronic) Kraftwerk New This limited edition UK album was released on 1999-08-03 and was available at massmusic.com (which is gone now). No idea what it was. New material???
CD Popular (Industrial) Laibach Slovenska Akropola From when they were good. My 2000-04-05 towerrecords.com special order of this failed. So did a later cdeurope.com order.
CD Popular (Analogue Baroque) Momus The Little Red Songbook (original release with "Walter Carlos", not the new one with that track gutted and the three bonus tracks added) yalplay.com claimed that they were selling this version, and I ordered it on 2000-01-18, but what I got was the newer U.K. pressing that has neither "Walter Carlos" nor the bonus tracks of the current U.S. version.
CD Popular (Pop Industrial) Nine Inch Nails We're In This Together, Part 1 Swedish import. Used to be available from cdnow.com, but doesn't seem to be available from towerrecords.com as of 2002-12-13.
CD Popular (Pop Industrial) Nine Inch Nails We're In This Together, Part 2 German import.
CD Popular (Pop Industrial) Nine Inch Nails We're In This Together, Part 3 Swedish import. Used to be available from cdnow.com, but doesn't seem to be available from towerrecords.com as of 2002-12-13.
CD Single Popular (Techno) Orb, The Perpetual Dawn Out-of-print.
CD Single Popular (Alternative Hard Rock / Pop Industrial) Orgy Blue Monday Out-of-print as of 2008-02-05. Note that I want the domestic 7-track release from 1999, not the 5-track import from 2004.
CD Popular (Alternative) Plimsouls, The ...Plus Out-of-print as of 2005-07-23.
CD Popular (Alternative) Rentals, The Seven More Minutes Out-of-print as of 2007-12-02. Alternatively I'd like to get the Japanese import version, which had the bonus track "The Great Bank Robbery", and is also out-of-print.
CD Popular (Techno / Electronica) Sex Technology Sex Technology Megatone Records (USA) CD1027. From 1990, according to guest performer Ernest Kohl's discography. Seems to be out-of-print. Includes the album version of David Diebold & Kim Catuluna's cover of "White Rabbit", the Club Remix version of which used to be heard in the "Malice In Wunderland" maze at Knott's Scary Farm, according to UltimateHaunt.com.
CD Popular (Industrial) Slick Idiot xSCREWciating OOP as of 2010-09-15. Backorder at cdbaby.com failed.
CD Single Popular (Reggae / Ska) Specials, The A Little Bit Me, A Little Bit You This 1996 release is out-of-print. The only other appearance of the song I know of is on the "Multiplicity" soundtrack, but I wasn't able to find any evidence of an album release for that.

CD Popular (covers of New Wave) Various (Revelation) / File under Devo We Are Not Devo Out-of-print as of 2001-07-18 but still available from towerrecords.com. Not to be confused with the similarly-named Clawhammer album that is still in print.
CD Popular / World (Austria / Germany) von Goisern, Hubert und die Alpinkatzen Omunduntn Austrian or German import.
CD Popular (Noise / Industrial / Experimental) Zoviet France Look Into Me Apparently only in print in the U.K., and even there appears a bit tricky to get. Only found online at soundcity2000.com (now defunct).
CD Soundtrack Goldsmith, Jerry ALIEN OOP in the U.S. In fact, I'm not positive it was ever available on CD here. This Amazon search turns up multiple different out-of-print versions, including 2-CD versions and a 21-track version. I'd like to get the complete soundtrack. (As of this writing, Amazon does sell an MP3 version, but with only 10 tracks, and I want a non-lossy-compressed version anyhow.)
CD Soundtrack Various (BBC) Doctor Who At The Radiophonic Workshop Vol. 1 - The Early Years 1963 - 1969 U.K. import. towerrecords.com also has it, and they don't mention it being an import, so it may have been released in the U.S. as well.
CD Soundtrack Various (BBC) Doctor Who At The Radiophonic Workshop Vol. 2 - New Beginnings 1970 - 1979 U.K. import. towerrecords.com also has it, and they don't mention it being an import, so it may have been released in the U.S. as well.
CD Soundtrack Various (BBC) Dr. Who At The Radiophonic Workshop Vol. 3: The Leisure Hive U.K. import. towerrecords.com doesn't carry it.
CD Soundtrack Various (BBC) Dr. Who At The Radiophonic Workshop Vol. 4: Meglos and Full Circle U.K. import. towerrecords.com doesn't carry it.
CD Soundtrack Various Tokyo Pop There was an American release of this album on CD on Ric Records in, I believe, 1988. There was probably a Japanese release as well. Any and all releases appear to be long out-of-print. Gotta get the wonderful song "Rakuen, Rakuen" by Japanese chick rock band Papaya Paranoia. I was in touch by email with an apparent member of the band who offered to make me a CD-R, but then they seemed to disappear off the face of the earth.
Vinyl Popular (New Wave) Depeche Mode Just Can't Get Enough Promotional 7" According to the depmod.com discography, the only place the studio version of "Tora! Tora! Tora!" ever appeared without the end of "Photographic" fading out at the beginning of the track were the U.S. and Canadian promotional 7"s for "Just Can't Get Enough", with "Tora! Tora! Tora!" on the B side. The U.S. version, at least, is said to be very rare.
Vinyl Popular (Techno / Electronica) Diebold, David & Cataluna, Kim White Rabbit (12") Megatone Records (USA) MT-181, from 1990. Seems to be out-of-print. "White Rabbit (Club Remix)" is the version heard in the "Malice In Wunderland" maze at Knott's Scary Farm, according to UltimateHaunt.com.
Vinyl Popular (New Wave) Thompson Twins You Take Me Up 12" This long out-of-print single contains "You Take Me Up (Machines Take Me Over)", "Down Tools", "Leopard Ray", and "Passion Planet". AFAIK, only "Passion Planet" has appeared on CD.

CD Popular (Neo Big Band) / Jazz Connick Jr., Harry Come By Me (2-CD import version) Not sure where this import (not available from towerrecords.com) is from. Alternatively, I could just get the 13-track domestic version, but the other import version, with just one bonus track, would not be a good buy.
CD Popular (Industrial) Holy Gang Free Tyson Free Looks like this ridiculous 1994-09-12 album has gone out-of-print. Dang, I guess. Tried to order a European copy from cdeurope.com but my special order failed.

CD Popular (Rock) Kravitz, Lenny 5 (Japanese import version, VJCP 68156-57) Japanese 2-CD release (AFAIK there isn't a separate Japanese 1-CD version) has "American Woman" and "Without You", which appear on the U.S. reissue of "5", plus a second CD with a few live tracks.
CD Popular (Quirky Pop) Lee, Sook-Yin Lavinia's Tongue Released in late 1994 on Zulu Records in Canada. Not sure if it's still in print there or anywhere else. It showed up on cdeurope.com and I tried to order it, but the order failed.
CD Popular (Electronica / Trip-Hop / R&B) Little Dragon Little Dragon (Japanese import version) Has the track "Fortune" not found on the other countries' releases, which I heard on KCRW and quite liked. Listening to the samples of the other tracks, there were a number I didn't care for, so if this ever comes out as a B-side of a single or something in the U.S. that would be good too.
CD Popular (Industrial) Ministry Ministry (AKA Ministry Singles Box, AKA Ministry Black Box) I believe this was in print in the U.S. as a limited edition, but while CDnow was still around, it was carrying a French import version. As of 2002-12-13, towerrecords.com doesn't have this.
CD Popular (Prog-Rock) Nekropolis Musik Aus Dem Schattenreich German import.
CD Popular (New Wave / Samba) Nouvelle Vague Nouvelle Vague (French "Edition Limitée" 15-track version) This version of this 2004 CD, which has the unavailable elsewhere (except as an MP3 download) track "Wishing (If I Had A Photograph Of You)", is out-of-print as of 2008-04-20.
CD Single Popular (New Wave / Samba) Nouvelle Vague Eisbaer (import 3-track version) Import on the Play It Again Sam label.
CD Popular (New Wave / Samba) Nouvelle Vague NV3 Not sure what the story is on this non-U.S. CD. Amazon shows it as released on 2008-03-04 on the Phantom Sound & Vision label and now discontinued, whereas other sites were saying it was to be released on 2008-09-01. Can't seem to find it for sale anywhere, nor can I find details on it.
CD Popular (Instrumental) Oldfield, Mike Tubular Bells (2000 remastered version) Canadian import.
CD Popular (New Wave) Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark The Best Of Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark Tracks on this out-of-print 1988 best-of that aren't on the "revisionist" 1998 best-of: "Secret", "We Love You", and "La Femme Accident". I don't think different versions of those tracks appear than are on "Crush" and "The Pacific Age", though.

CD Popular (Alternative Rock) Penn, Michael Mr. Hollywood Jr., 1947 (2005 release that was available at Borders with "Cinemascope" bonus disc of soundtrack work) This 2005 CD is out-of-print in its original version (it was re-released in 2007 in a remastered version with a different bonus disc containing live tracks recorded at KCRW). Note that it appears the "Cinemascope" bonus disc may have been a Borders exclusive.
CD Popular (Alternative Rock) Radiohead The Bends (Japanese import version) Has extra tracks "How Can You Be Sure?" and "Killer Cars". Not sure if these can be had anywhere else.
CD Popular (Alternative Rock) Radiohead Kid A (limited edition version with the extra hidden booklet under the CD tray -- not the limited edition hardbound "book" version) Only the initial pressing had the extra booklet, and that's long sold out as of 2003-10-18. Not all pressings with a black (instead of clear) CD tray have a booklet underneath (despite what some claim), as I found out.
CD Popular (New Wave) Talk Talk The Collection UK import. Also known as "It's My Life: Collection" according to towerrecords.com, but on the cover art it clearly just says "TALK TALK THE COLLECTION".

CD Popular (New Wave) Thompson Twins Set This album was never released in the U.S., but I have it on a U.K.-import cassette. Don't know for sure that it was ever released on CD anywhere, but it appears to be out-of-print now in the U.K.
CD Popular (New Wave) Thompson Twins In The Name Of Love I have this out-of-print U.S. compilation of the first two U.K. albums on cassette -- don't know for sure that it was released on CD.
CD Popular (New Wave) Thompson Twins Side Kicks I have the out-of-print U.S. version on cassette, which includes a bunch of remixes and extended versions on side 2. I also have a CD from Japan with the alternate title "Quick Step & Side Kick" (without the extra tracks). If there is a CD that has any of the extra tracks of the U.S. cassette, I must have it. The U.K. version of the album appears to be out-of-print.
CD Popular (Reggae) Toyes, The Strange Animals Out-of-print for quite awhile as of 2003-06-23. Used to still be available direct from the band, on a page that said it was going to be re-released, but currently that page is missing.
CD Popular (Industrial) Various Modem Angels This Front 242 remix tribute CD was limited to 242 copies. A CD-R would be cool. The page above (now via archive.org) is a list of names and email addresses of people who owned the CD as of 1999.

CD Soundtrack Geinoh Yamashirogumi et al. Akira (4-track version) I have the Japanese, U.K., and U.S. releases of the full "Symphonic Suite Akira". I believe the only other Akira CD of note is the four-track version, which reportedly is just full-audio excerpts from the original Japanese movie soundtrack, including dialogue. The tracks are "Kaneda, Tetsuo I, Tetsuo II, and Akira". This CD, Victor VDR-1538, was released in Japan on 1988-10-10.
CD (Box Set) Soundtrack Goldsmith, Jerry Jerry Goldsmith At 20th Century Fox 6-CD set issued in a limited edition of 1500 in 2004 for $129.98. Includes full previously unreleased scores like "Anna and the King" and "Damnation Alley", and selections from other scores like "Alien".

CD Soundtrack Elfman, Danny Nightmare Before Christmas, The (French version) Probably in print only in France, if at all (though French Canada may have it too). I understand there is also a German one, which I'd also like. A web page of a soundtrack collector leads me to believe that there are also Italian, Spanish, and Swahili versions...
CD Soundtrack Various Weird Science Apparently out-of-print (no doubt for years) as of 1999-10-04. Actually, I don't know for a fact that it was ever out on CD, but I expect it was. The liner notes of "Best O' Boingo" imply that a different version of "Weird Science" appears on this soundtrack album. Dunno if any of the various in-print compilation albums with this track have the soundtrack version.
CD World (Native American) Thomas, Andrew Changing Woman's Blessing Have only found for sale online at the here-linked Swiss site(!). Also (as of late 2009) available for sale locally in New Mexico, including at the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center, where the artist reportedly works.
Vinyl Popular (Dance / Electronica) Gui Boratto Chromophobia Remixe Part2 (AKA Chromophobia Remixes, Pt. 2) Was probably only available as a German import, and appears that it may be out-of-print now. I'd really prefer a CD with the Sascha Funke remix of "Beautiful Life", rather than this vinyl EP, if one ever comes out.
Vinyl Popular (Rock) Public Image Ltd. 12 inch Single Out-of-print. This "plain wrap" single was actually for "Rise".
Vinyl Popular (Rock) Public Image Ltd. Album Out-of-print in this format. If I get this, I'll have all three formats of the plain wrap album (I currently have Cassette and Compact Disc).
Vinyl Popular (Alternative Rock) Linnell, John / File under They Might Be Giants Montana Was at http://tmbg-catalog.stores.yahoo.net/e11.html but is no longer there as of 2009-03-23. Have not yet checked to see if the tracks are now available elsewhere.
