Look at all us freaks cluttering your city streets
Still scalping their ticket-less applause
Spun monkeys on the railroad track, take me to the caine field; I walk along pick my spiderbite
Basically Kyoko Kirigiri

Bah, the most obscure thing I have is an mp3 of Resurrection of Ernie. I'm lame.

It's not.

That's the instrumental demo cassette they made after Chris Collins left.  The original demo was from 1986.  There was only one test pressing for the 1986 demo, and it's sitting in my cabinet :).

They did another demo in 1987, but on a much smaller scale.  It's extremely rare - I've never seen another one before.  But I doubt it's worth $1,000.00
So...

- Demo (test pressing): the one you have
- Demo: Slicksy's one
- Another demo in 1987: 1000$ one of ebay?

That's right? Is that the right order?

This one is the second one of the list?

Thank you!!  :tup

Correct.  The first one and the second one contain the same material though... the first one was the "test pressing" (i.e., the first copy) of the second one.

Tough call.

Sealed Majesty demo cassette. (someone already posted a picture of it earlier)

Promo photos that still have Majesty printed on them.

Take The Time promo CD wrapped in the purple ribbon and gold wax seal.

When Dream and Day Unite promo poster, advance cassette and promo gold stamped vinyl

When Dream and Day Unite Tour shirt

Letter by early manager Ross (blanking on his first name) to Ozzy's record label suggesting Dream Theater become Ozzy's backing band.


There's probably more...just can't think of anything else at the moment.



02T

Squier Strat signed by John Petrucci on the Awake Tour.  BC&SL(3CD) and Awake signed by Mike Portnoy at the San Antonio Sam Ash in-store last year.

KISS 76

Probably my I & W era poster signed by the whole band during a radio station visit promoting that album.
Or a letter from MP talking about Rush & his band Majesty from Feb '87.

carl320

I have 6 Degrees of Radio Edits and a Japanese copy of the LSFNY Burning Apple 3 disc CD.

And WDADU :neverusethis:

What distinguishes this as a test pressing?

I'm assuming my copy is not one, but I just want to be sure.

I've never run across the 1987 demo either. I'd agree that there were probably less copies pressed in 1987 than there were of the 1986 demo.

Perhaps Mike can shed some light on the numbers pressed?

Here's one I bet not too many people have seen before.  Original Majesty business card, circa 1986.


jcmistat

I know its not part their catalog but I purchased a DT beanie. When it arrives I'm deeming it rarer than BC&SL/ADToE special editions.

STEVETHEATER

Lots of cool stuff but this has to be one of my favorite items I have.

Nothing music wise...but the guys signed my copy of Lifting Shadows the last time they were in Melbourne.
Also the print  that came with the BC&SL Box Set was also signed by each member of the band including MP!  :smiley:

A framed signed Tour date announcement  of the Systematic Chaos Tour dates for Australia by Roadrunner which is great,
because it was their first time in OZ! (apart from G3 in 06)  :smiley:
It has an authenticity certificate but it still may be one of many but still great for me.  :smiley:

I wouldn't call them rare or anything but a few of the Fan club CDs and the original flaming Live Scenes cd.

As seen on my avatar the dt leather jacket wich the guys signed for me two years ago in gelsenkirchen and the se bc&sl box which they signed same year in ludwigsburg. I love my jacket, i only wear it going to concerts :heart :heart
And i love dt :heart

My most unique item would be a SDOIT tour shirt      :loser:










Signed by the band  :hat

Spacebar.

JR's fanclub 'The Wheel' t-shirt signed by MP and JP

angelillo

I don't think it is unique as with the meet and greets they are actually probably quite common

SFAM signed by the whole band line-up 1999-2010

well the booklet is the signed item

Had it signed in the Meet and greet in Southampton 2009
