There are so many CDs that are out of print, which means you cannot order a new copy anymore because the record company is no longer manufacturing it.

What out of print (OOP) titles are you searching for, and how much does it cost?

I might pay over $100 for a 1984 rap CD that's factory sealed in its original longbox. I'm so tempted!

Any sealed longbox fetches big bucks, so pick it up if you see it for a bargain!

Jill Jones - usually over $75

Yeah I still don't have that disc, for that reason.


I did shell out (not that much though) for Vanity 6.

VoicesCarry said:

They look so freaking cool. I used to hang an MC Lyte one on my wall.

I know a store in Indiana that have many sealed longboxes. I should stop and check it out whenever I go back.

I had a Morris Day cd in a longbox but somehow it disappeared.

I have sealed ones for Control and Rhythm Nation.



They still make 'em!



BIG COLLECTOR'S ITEM: Madonna - Like A Prayer - US 3'' CD-single sealed in original longbox

VoicesCarry said:

I remember that shit! Why is that one so collectable?

If you ever see this do not let it go:

CinisterCee said:

That was her first CD single release in the US, and a 3'' no less (not a popular format for the US). MJ has a lot of very collectable 3'' CD-singles from the States, too.

VoicesCarry said:

I thought they stopped making them!

I thought longboxes were designed to fit music stores who still had vinyl bins and not CD shelving.

CinisterCee said:

It's odd, but some labels still produce them although they are very limited pressings these days. There's one for the clean version, too.

"Start Anew" after "You Can Be Mine"

I know a lot of people look for the original mid-80's US pressings of all the old Motown albums. They have been reissued in the UK as two-fers but there are still a few that are not available anywhere.

Usually, when I break down and pay something outrageous prices for OOP titles, the labels re-issue it within six months of my purchase...

Like, which ones?

VoicesCarry said:

Off topic, but have you heard "This Is Sick" by Solid Groove? It samples Janet's voice from the intro of "All Nite (Don't Stop)".

CinisterCee said:

Nope! Can you hook me up?

VoicesCarry said:

Well I'm at work at the moment, but later sure.

VoicesCarry said:

That promo sticker on there looks awesome too.

VoicesCarry said:

Yanno what though, I would actually want to open it and play it.

CinisterCee said:

Stanks!

CinisterCee said:

NO! There's a reason you don't usually find unsealed longboxes for sale. That packaging is crap lol.

CinisterCee said:

The following come to mind...

Syreeta - Stevie Wonder Presents
Eddie Hazel - Game, Dames and Guitar Thangs
Quincy Jones - Mellow Madness
The Isley Brothers - Live It Up

I want

Vanity6
Jill Jones
The Family
Andre Cymone-AC (and Livin In The New Wave)
