What is the rarest record you own?

using the most direct answer to the theme, I have some local private stuff that I have only ever seen my copy and that nobody I know owns, 45's that only had 100-200 pressed or whatever. None of it all that mind blowing but some cool stuff, no doubt.
then there are things like the Nathaniel Mayer album that I only ever saw for sale (in person) once, when I bought it, but it may not be all that rare in Michigan or whatever and shows up on eBay once a year or so.

why do so many people seem to misuse this phrase, am I wrong? Is it actually "could give a fusk" in the US but "couldn't give a fusk" everywhere else in the world? what is the story?
i know it probably doesn't matter & that many of you couldn't give a fusk about it, but "could" makes no sense to me in this situation "could give a fusk" actually means you do care about overpriced jazz/funk turds............
robably some local private press underground rap records. pretty sure they were only sold in my town...
Very good little dude. i have SEEN Tommy play the white label & never said the color of the label had anything to do with it being a repress. White label did get a repress and even that is tough to find. Last time he (Tommy) was here he played an altogether different chinese rocksteady tune that murders the Cheng tune. it will eventually surface.
and hey, you still made about the stir-fried grits comment huh? lol!

I've got some tough Gospel singles that probably were pressed at about 250/300 levels and distributed only at churches, concerts, and maybe the local one-stop. There are some local releases that pop up that I've never seen or heard of outside of my copy. Granted, that's only from my limited perspective. Perception of rarity is what we invariably speak about when we can't get, you know, the order manifest straight from the artist (who is sometimes the least reliable source regarding their own pressing numbers).

Early Elliott Smith cassette, all songs still unreleased except for Coraliza. The first recognizably "Elliott" sounding project. Contains several early versions of songs he later released. Sold to friends and at one local record store. Probably less than 30 copies ever in existence.
