Rare Music?

I am a newbie to this site but I have been observing for quite sometime. I don't know if this topic has been brought up before, but I thought I would give it a whirl.

Anybody got any Rare music, maybe by a known artist or a not so well known artist that you think others would enjoy? Or is anybody looking for a rare recording? Do you have Orginal Albums in mint shape that your proud to talk about?

I have been a fan of music all my life and rare recordings used to be a BIG hobby of mine but it seems that in the past few years, rare recordings have become pretty mainstream. It's not hard to find a Live "bootleg" (that ususally sounds bad anyway) or a "Japanese" import of an album marked up 30 bucks with the same songs as the domestic recording - or what about that rare B sides that just show up on a Box Set.

But when it was hard to find, it was fun.

e.g.,
I just noticed that the "Grand Funk Railroad - Survival" Album was just released on CD here in the US. I heard this album when I was a kid over and over again (the Quadrophonic Stereo recording I might add) and I haven't heard or seen it sinceand for a while there I was looking pretty hard.

Not that I am a huge GFR fan, but it sure would have been nice to find this when it was still hard to find.

Here are a couple of obscure recordings:

EARLY HI-FI by Bell Labs. 1931-1932. Leopold Stokowski Conducting the Philadelphia Orchestra, Volumes 1 & 2. The first stereo recordings ever made. Released on LP in 1979 in a very limited quantity.

Smithsomian Collection of Classic Country Music. This one is just too cool. LP versions of country music beginning with the decade of the 1920's. Many of the cuts were put on these LP's for the first and only time. This was waaay before TNN and country commercialism. Fun to listen to.
