I might get shot down for this on, but...

I am always on the look out for small runs of vinyl releases. I am not talking about variants per se (3000 copies, 300 in red splatter!), but rather releases for whom the total number pressed is on the low side - less than 500 seems a good figure. I guess it is because I have a visual art background, where the idea of even have 500 copies of one piece of art is often crazy - I kind of like the specific attitude, skill and nuance that goes into things that are only ever going to be in short supply. Not necessarily 'rare' - it's ok if the artist couldn't hope to sell more than 500 anyway. it's the scale that interests me.

So... anyone up for sharing any vinyl releases they know of that fit this bill - 500 or less copies in total, any genre/style/whatever?

There are a lot of those. Especially new bands or music that fits more a niche (noise for instance)
- every release in this box: http://www.discogs.com/Various-Conspira ... se/2641578
- this one ltd to 200 with each cover handpainted with different image: http://www.discogs.com/Jay-Phlitman-Kim ... se/6058411
- ltd to 275: http://www.discogs.com/Jay-Phlitman-Kim ... se/3981480
- ltd 200: http://www.discogs.com/Hausmagger-Het-O ... se/5682572

And those are the ones I have where a number is stated. There are a lot of releases that don't state how many are pressed, but are limited to 200 or 300. And when looking for 7" releases you kind find a lot more.

That one Japanese Umberto release was super limited and had a really great design.

I have one of these:
http://www.discogs.com/Mlehst-Prurient- ... se/1373106

Split by prurient and mlehst, lathe cut and limited to 20, pretty nice looking. Prurient has also done a split with the skull defekts that was limited to 20, that one is so hard to find that it ended my attempt to have all prurient on vinyl.
