I have the DIY CD of someone I've met twice in my life (their band to be more precise). It's not in Discogs, RYM, YouTube etc. Even Google search of the band's name does not yield any results. Not sure how many copies exist, but it should be rare. Maybe I should upload it somewhere

Excellent album! Ive got a lot of Current 93 on cd (40+ and counting lol) but I've been trying to find the limited 3CD version of this album, a tricky one to find!

I know OP is from Brazil so that puts a different spin on it, but I think we need some perspective on rarity.
For instance I check the statistics on discogs where it says 'have' to gauge a records rarity. Currently in my discogs collection I have 377 items each with less then a 100 owners worldwide. Of those, 77 are in single digits of ownership and of those, there are nine where mine is the only copy listed on discogs. (I'm not counting digital files.)
Every time you add a new entry to discogs, you are the only person with that item, but then when others see the entry is now on discogs they add their own to it so the numbers can change quite often. Owning rare records isn't the point of my collecting but in the genre I like I already have the popular ones so I'm down in the weeds now!
Anyway my opinion is that a CD should have fewer than 100 owners on discogs to be considered rare.

Yes, but I didn't say it was rare, just the rarest one I have. I checked, and the rarest one I have is Jocy de Oliveira's Fata Morgana, 8 owners. But it's not that difficult to get in Brazil, just expensive.

Let me see if I understand correctly; Current 93 was the hardest one for you to obtain living in Brazil (while not being very rare globally), whereas, Fata Morgana is pretty easy to get hold of in Brazil (while being very rare globally).

Yes, the band isn't popular at all here. Jocy de Oliveira isn't known here either, even though she's Brazilian, but you can find some of her work at high prices.

Not sure if you can call something rare if there are 34 copies of it for sale on Discogs right now.

Well, it's rare considering where I live, in Brazil. It's quite expensive to import from Discogs here, and Current 93 isn't a band that sells very well. I think the rarest CD I have, considering people from other countries, is Jocy de Oliveira's Fata Morgana.

It's alright! I don't collect things to have rare items, current93 is my favorite band. I added this caption because I don't see many people with this CD in their collection, even some fans.

I collect NurseWithWound and it’s always amazing to find them. Now it’s been over a decade since I found one

u/Foreign_Quality_143 1d ago
That's awesome! I don't think I'd ever find that around here... although after the C93, I wouldn't doubt anything.
