Could someone tell me what are the "rare" releases ? I see "rare" on a lot of ebay offers but I don't really know if this is true.. and as I am a new collectionner I don't know what to think about.

A lot of things are quite overpriced on Ebay, you might want to check out some other places like Discogs, Eil or Amazon Marketplace as well and compare prices to make sure you don't pay too much. Off the top of my head, I think the rarest ones are the West Ryder promo and sampler, the white Velociraptor promo and the Club Foot 12" promos (Paradise 6 and 7). The Brixton promo is very rare and the real DVD almost doesn't exist. A few of the promo CD singles are somewhat rare, like the wax-sealed Switchblade Smiles, and some of the Japanese releases. There are also a couple of things that show up on Ebay quite regularly but usually aren't cheap, like the Velociraptor deluxe box. cuttoff and frencheezeh can probably help with this, between us I think we can make a definite rareness ranking.

Paradise 6 and 7 with their various versions (plain white, with masked man stamp etc) must be some of the rarest, although the conventional navy/red Paradise 6 is available both on discogs and ebay quite cheaply at the moment I think. Its white label versions are far rarer, like the one for £250 on ebay right now. Double sided Fast Fuse EP used to be very rare (do you remember how long we were after it highroyds) but it's everywhere at the moment I think. One of my favourite things (which is not a strictly a release but still super pretty) is the Empire vinyl singles box, which I haven't seen for sale for ages. Paradise 1,2, 3 and 4 are rare-ish, probably 1 being the rarest, but there are some on ebay on and off. Paradise 2 with the wrong flag is rare too. There is a Me Plus One / Sun Rise white label which appears on discogs sometimes. West Ryder HMV slipcase edition is rare, so is the Eastern European edition of West Ryder in a slider thingy. Good luck with collecting, melissa and like frencheezeh mentioned in the other thread, do ask in the forum if you've seen something you want to buy.

I think you both summed up pretty well what rarities are highroyds cuttoff . I would add the Paradise045, Shoot the Runner promo vinyl to the list, and there are also the early Processed Beats promo cds with the first masked man design. We should think about doing a proper list, what do you think?

Thank you very much highroyds cuttoff and frencheezeh ! I take note, all of this make already a pretty little list of rare realeses. As frencheezeh said, a proper list will be great and helpful You said the navy/red Paradise06 12" was quite rare, what do you think about the price for this one? (+ £12 shipping to France) www.discogs.com/fr/sell/item/358279048 EDIT : It's sold :/

My copy of You're In Love With a Psycho RSD vinyl made it to Scotland from Italy today so I decided to sit down and see what's left of my collection. I must have sorted through it and sold off some of the Paradise stuff last year! Didn't take long.
The Velociraptor! era mess got me out of the collecting game. I decided that my new rule was a physical copy of all original songs. I finally got myself on Amazon Italy and ordered the MoSP EP which hopefully will come soonish. Got a decent price for it too, presuming no further charges will pop up.
Besides that, I've got the FCOL bundle on the way and decided to get the Comeback Kid HMV single too. If for no other reason that I like adding to my Kasabian vinyl collection.
Bit of a lack of b-sides this time around, no?

I can see listings for the 7" on Amazon and Grooves Inc, so it might be available in a not so exclusive way later? Or maybe the HMV one will only look different or something, they used to do those CD slipcases back in the day. Kasabian's first 7" though, exciting times.
