So now that I received THC 7", I could finally take a photo of my complete Brian Fallon vinyl collection. Just as with my TGA vinyl collection, my "complete" set consists of the rarest first press of each release. For the Chamberlain, Raise it High EP, I realize that there are grounds for a difference of opinion as to what constitutes the "rarest" first press. I consider the grey/purple US press to be the only first press and the variants by Arctic Rodeo to be a second pressing. Others could fairly consider the Arctic Rodeo pressing to be a first Euro press rather than a second press. Therefore, I include the gold and gold/white variants in the photo because they were limited to 100 each whereas the US press was limited to 500.

Looks great!

As I have a different collecting strategy, at least one of each (CD, vinyl, etc.), never mind how limited, here's what my relevant collection looks like (I added a signed photo for the sheer fun of it):

I WANT THE CASSETTE SO BAD!

A few weeks back Shrewsbury_Stars asked me to do a new photo shoot as I had added quite a few things since my last shoot. At this point i would like to thank Steady now (Alexander) and Shrewsbury_Stars (Eamon) for there help in filling gaps in my collection.
As I think the last few things I miss are almost out of reach this will be my last collection shoot, I have had to split the collection up smaller for the photos due to sheer lack of space as my grandson has taken over the house even when he is not here.
As for the bootlegs before anyone asks, most if not all are on the masterlist, the artwork is either found on google or basic art I have made for my own collection, simply for the fun of it and because I feel Brians/Gaslights work deserves the effort and respect, all of these apart from the Bruce Crystal Cat and the 2 Gaslight 7" have been added for free. If anyone would like to add photos of the test press that I dont have, the coffee house session tape, the sink cdr, and the few mag promos it would be nice to have the complete works photos in one place. Hope this helps spur the completists out there to carry on the search.

I am so jealous of you all...I have nothing except Elise CD

^I am in awe. What a truly amazing collection!

Your home is now officially the Gaslight Anthem Audio Museum and you are the curator. I really like the bootleg shot where the arrangement is kind of scattered. Looks great. I'm glad I could help you out along the way.

nice one Eamonn, but damn you , I dont have the Let me Run 7", how did i miss that.


take it back re the 7" , do have it , devildance sent it me as a gift with the album.

This thread has just officially made me sick.... I have a good amount of this stuff, but have been really trying to finish it off.... still need some heavy hitters, but have a good lead on a few of them.... still hurts to realize how deep this goes and how far off you can be while being so damn close..... oh well, back to ebay, discogs, vinyl collective boards.... if anyone is looking to sell stuff... well I'm you're huckleberry.

Thanks for this, I've ordered the 7" from No Idea now.

Which song(s) does Brian sing / play on? I'm listening to Let Me Run's first album now (pretty decent!) but can't hear Brian's distinctive voice yet.

Just heard Brian at the end of "I Don't Stomp, I Battle"

Is it just this one song or any others on the album?

When the album was released, it was said that Brian is featured on two tracks. I've only been able to make his voice out on I Don't Stomp I Battle though. The liner notes don't specify either.

Also, if anyone is interested in Chuck Ragan, Covering Ground (red /300), his webstore just put some up. These have been sold out for a while so I suspect there's not many available.

This is an amazing record that should be heard on vinyl (in any color).
