Zao - All Else Failed 1995 , need tips to find it as i WTB

[s8n]

hi members , ive been searching for this CD for about 5 years , ive seen it on ebay 2 times in that time. I did put in a bid but i wasn't fully committed to it and was outbid , ive been searching ebay about once a day for the last year and a half and the CD hasn't popped up. I even have a discogs account and they haven't emailed with someone selling it too.


im looking for tips , places where i should look other than ebay/discogs........etc


i should say i don't want to buy off of a Forum buy/sell section as about 6 years ago i almost got burnt , i haven't bought anything in that way since.


chat soon

hi dux , i should say there are 4 versions of this CD i'll list them below.............


- 1995 ( the original and most desired version by many )
- 1999 ( 2nd press , i believe its remastered )
- 2000 ( 3rd press , and its remastered )
- 2003 ( re-recorded with the new members of Zao , btw its fantastic )


i have the 3rd press and 2003 versions

my bad - gotcha.

[Fragems]

Whats the album cover for the first press look like? The pawns around here have racks full of cds that I haven't gone through in a while, and I could browse through them next time I'm there.

hi Fragems , thats a really nice offer. Im thinking it would be better to ask at the desk if it has ever been in their shop and if it were to turn up give you a call. If im correct roughly 3000 units were pressed so its quite rare.........

when i saw it on ebay twice from memory the price went for $95 US and the other $115 US , people were bidding madly on them


the CD cover is a painting of Rembrandt

I have a nearly legendary music store in my home town, next time I'm there I'll check if they have it

[s8n]

thanks Kalessin , sounds great. If anyone were to find it expect a profit on top of what the CD costs in store.


for example you paid $25 US in store , i would pay $100 US with postage on top

[Fragems]

As long as I don't get called in to work I'll probably be running around town tomorrow. It looks vaguely familiar so there is a glimmer of hope that one of the two pawns I devote the majority of my hunting at has it. Been months since I browsed through their stuff though since they move so few CDs even at the $1 flat rate .

you might find it around proctorville. pretty sure Jesse Smith lived in Parkersburg, WV for a while, so you're in the general region there.

this is probably my least favorite zao record, for what it's worth.
