Hormoaner's collection

[Hormoaner]

Just moved houses, the occasion to make an inventory of my humble collection...

I have been collecting for around 15 years, mainly concentrating on Sliver, HSCN, Bleach (AUS and US pressings), but also picking up interesting versions of records. I'm by far not the completist some of you colleague collectors are - rather opportunistic and patient  .

My trophy items include Love Buzz, PRT CD single, 1st press US Bleach, red/white splattered 3rd pressing of Bleach, the full set of AUS Bleach records, pink HSCN, clear, hot pink and orange Sliver - especially the heavily marbled orange version.

Dupes are indicated in brackets behind the concerned record. Happy to discuss trades for missing records, please feel free to propose anything you can miss and deem missing in my collection. I am particularly looking for a white Sliver, as well as a green USA Bleach 3rd pressing and Molly's lips green and black with SP subscription form at the moment.

Nice with some gems!! thanks for sharing

[nurvanna]

very nice collection!
we have an almost identical list except for i only bought 1 hscn( marble light blue ) and im missing a mollys lips 12”

ive completed...
bleach: usa( minus iceberg but i still want it ) uk and aussie
sliver: everything minus red 7”

i see that some people add another version of the blue waterfront
black/silver sleeve blue vinyl
i havent done that...not sure if i will or not
what are your thoughts on that 3rd blue version
i feel they ran out of blue/blue and black/blue sleeves and just used a black/silver sleeve for the remaining blue vinyl
be that as it may
i do love those black/silver sleeves...thats why im not certain against adding it

great collection

My Sliver Collection. Missing a white, any lead more than welcome.

[Burt Cokaïne]

great

[nurvanna]

oh my
that sliver family is amazing!
what about the tupelo green and the later pressings with black labels( Sliver and SLIVER ), the 3 newbury comics editions and lastly the newer black version with the revamped yellow labels?

[miguelimarques]

Just to be a wanker... I do not see a Red!!

[Hormoaner]

No red, No white... any help on that last one more than welcome!
Newbury copies, UK presses also in the collection but not on the pic... No later (black label) presses, these are of less interest to me.
