Travis: A Few Of My White Whales

Travis: A Few Of My White Whales

Everybody has those illusive, Holy Grail records that are either too rare to just happen upon or require parting with your first born to own. If you're not after specific pressings, then playing the waiting game will likely be the best course of action. Thankfully, with more and more long out-of-print LPs getting represses these days, once unobtainable albums are finding their way into eager collectors' homes.
