I opened sealed copies of both TAtH AND DFN & have no real regrets. You should rip that baby open, turn your stereo to '11' and spin that thing 'till it hurts! I do know how hard it is to open a sealed Hip album but my gut tells me the Hip will reissue those albums before too long. There is just too much demand for them not to.
Sorry DRIVET I wasn't able to hook you up with the sealed DFN I sold here. Like I said, it at least did go to a cool cat, a fellow Albertan 10c'er
Now, if you guys wanna talk REAL rare Canadian albums, try finding Wintersleep's first 2 albums on vinyl (self titled and un-titled). Those baby's were holy grails for me and I eventually gave up a German 'Road Apples' and STP's "Purple" for those two Wintersleep albums and felt quite happy with that trade (the 1st album was pressed on cyrstal clear vinyl). Snatch 'em if you fins 'em - they are GREAT albums AND very rare. The fella from NewFoundland might have the best luck as Wintersleep is from Halifax I think. I'd also be interested in any Rheostatics albums on vinyl although I'm not sure how many exist in that form (they reissued a gorgeous vinyl-version of 'Whale Music', which included the CD, from their website - what an awesome job they did on it! - and I have their "Greatest Hits" from '87 on vinyl. Really not sure what else, if any, of their albums made it to vinyl)
You think there's enough demand to re-release albums on vinyl? I don't know if the demand is there for Hip music like there used to be. I'm still a big fan and would snatch up any Hip vinyl, but I'm not sure there are enough out there.
I was chasing down an Up to Here vinyl yesterday on the auction site and it quickly escaped my grasp in the last 30 seconds. I guess I'll go after the next one.
Good point. I'm not sure. I'm certainly not an expert on the topic but it is fact that there is currently a resurgence in the popularity of vinyl; young consumers are getting into it (and shelling out $$) and older folks are diggin out their old collections again to either play OR to sell to those now into it. I was guessing that the demand must be high for Hip vinyl if people are willing to shell out $300 or more for a used LP pressed nearly 20 years ago. And, again I'm making an educated guess, but I think the Hip gets lumped in with 90's "grunge" (I know, haha) music, which appears to be very much in demand in the vinyl format. But I haven't done any cost analysis of manufacture/distributing/promo/etc vs. potential profit or anything... Press a handful, sell them off the website and see what happens.....?

was having this exact discussion with a guy who owns a store here yesterday. they should absolutely repress every hip OR at least PRESS all the ones that have never been on vinyl.....do it through the fan club, limit them to 500 copies or so and charge a bundle. they would sell out in a day, every album. i dont understand why they arent doing it.
oh yeah, and then I bought Up To Here off the guy for 40 bucks.
Then I bought avocado off him for 40 bucks.
Then I bought Stadium Arcadium 4xLP boxset for THIRTY TWO dollars!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
still need

Fully

for my hip stuff....not interested in the 7" and 12" just due to the facct that it will take years to accumulate them as they are scarce as hell.

Is Day for Night very rare? I only have We Are The Same and Now For Plan A on vinyl. I would possibly be willing to trade some PJ or some other vinyl for Day for Night or Trouble At The Henhouse.
Day For Night is rare, but not as rare as some of the other Hip vinyl. I think the reason Day For Night is so expensive is because it has the highest demand. Here's a basic scale of Hip vinyl rarity, ranging from common to impossible to find (and correlates well with price, too):
The Hip EP ($30) ... Up to Here ... Road Apples ... Day For Night ... Fully Completely ... Live Between Us ... Trouble at the Henhouse (>$350)
As for the Hip vinyl singles:
The Hip EP-era singles ($10) ... Locked in the Trunk of a Car ... Courage ... Little Bones (>$120) ... Cordelia ... Twist My Arm
I'm divided over whether they should re-release their albums on vinyl. Knowing that they are so hard to find and yet still possible to obtain makes the hunt for them that much more exciting, as opposed to PJ vinyl where they are all obtainable given enough money. But the fact that they are such an important Canadian band should be reason enough to repress their works.
Essentially no amount of money can buy Trouble at the Henhouse, for example, since there is virtually no supply to begin with, and only a tiny fraction of people who do have it are willing to sell.
There's a sealed "Live Between Us" on eBay. I bid, but it has quickly escalated beyond me. Good Luck if anyone is going after this rarity.
I'd be VERY surprised if that one didn't snatch at least 3 and a half. It's a double LP and it's sealed, not to mention quite rare (maybe equivalent with TATH as far as rarity). Fortunately, I've got a nice one so I, thankfully, don't have to take part in that sh!t-show :corn: But best of luck to anyone here that goes after it. That will absolutely hold it's value so long as it isn't reissued too soon (and assuming the bidding doesn't get super-ridiculous)

BUMP for snagging another Small Town Bringdown 7" single, as well as giving my German pressing of Road Apples away to a good friend of mine.
I also added an up-to-date photo of my collection to the first post of this thread. I'll put one here, too:
I was going to put a bid of $250 in for that Live Between Us LP, but it looks like that will be too small a figure to claim it. Pretty insane that it's already over $200 with six days left to go in the auction.
I'll find it for the right price one day, though. Just gotta be patient.
Going for the Live Between Us currently listed...wish me luck
Did you get it? Somebody shelled out $413 for that winning bid!!! :shock:
Everytime this LP or DFN, TATH, or FC are put up on the auction block, the winning bids are getting higher. This resurgence of vinyl is bringing out all the closet Hip fans I guess. :ugeek:

I scored Fully Completely off Ebay this morning for $180 (includes shipping from Europe to Canada). A pretty good price I think! Need Henhouse and Live Between Us to finish up my collection. One of my biggest vinyl regrets was not snagging LBU around Christmas 2011 on Ebay. It "only" went for about $140. I was using the Ebay app on my phone and my poor iphone 3 couldn't keep up with the last minute action and I lost out.

I was wondering who scored that "Fully Completely". I should have known someone from here picked it up. I was watching it and wondering if I'd go for it or not, but I decided against it and went after some Zeppelin vinyl instead.
Enjoy it.

Still waiting on any trade offers for the Fully Completely... :corn:
I have a sealed copy of Day for night. It has 3 dinged corners. 1 worse than the others. Wouldn't affect the vinyl. Traded a similar copy to robbyd462 a while ago. This ones corners aren't quite as nice as his was though.

I am anxiously awaiting the Day for Night reissue. The originals are really pricey now. I actually got one, but it wasn't honestly graded, and therefore not in good enough condition for my liking, so I recently sold it before the original prices drop in anticipation of the inevitable reissue (I assume they are reissuing in order, so Day for Night should be next! :-bd ).

Does anyone have a Day for Night LP (opened or sleeve condition wouldn't matter, just the vinyl being in good shape) they are interested in selling or trading for? I don't have any Hip stuff for trade but have plenty of PJ stuff. Would also be interested in a Live Between Us.
I dig this thread. The Hip, The Leafs, good times, great peeps.
I've got some of the Hip's new wine, including one of the 1.5L magnum bottles, signed by the band and limited to 250 bottles. Perhaps a wedding popper someday.
My Hip vinyl / CD / cassette collection is pretty tinsy winsy. It'll grow with time I'm sure. I had a couple of the Trouble at the Hen House cardboard prints / whatever the heck they're called. Think I may have given them away. Bought em for a buck at a garage sale a few years ago; I think I bought a copy of Ten on cassette at the same garage sale for 50 cents. Still have it, but it has no "sleeve." I put quotes around that because I don't know if that's the proper term, but thought it would get the message across. "Liner notes?" .... bluh.....
