Well, for the White Stripes that might need to be confirmed further, but Amazon only seem to have third party sellers, which is sometimes a good indicator that the record is begining to be scarcely available.

Yeah, there are plenty on Discogs and amazon in Europe for a fair price but you’re right the last press seems to be from 2010. I have the 2006 red one that I picked up in store in about 2012 and I’d always just seen copies of it knocking around in shops so sort of assumed it was still widely available!

Well dang!!! I didn't even think to check for availability. I'll come up with a new guess but here!! In case u want to get it for the low before they all go!

Maybe they're planning a big 20 year drop for RSD next year or something

Janet Jackson - Control

hint 1: song was recorded in 86. Same year as Control was released.
Hint 2: Sad bastard.....What Have You Done For Me Lately and When I Think of You can get me there (MIGHT NOT EVEN BE A CLUE)
Hint 3: GC Controller - CONTROL

 

[teefer]

Here's my random guess #2:
Donna Summer ‎– Another Place And Time

I checked, it's in stock for cheap.

The clues provided do not entirely eliminate Liz Phair as a potential artist. Nothing points to a specific album, though, and availability is probably an issue across the board. I'm still clinging to the last shreds of hope, though. Hope for a world where Liz gets the attention she deserves, hope that GNGO would give me this blessing, and hope that we would finally get an AOTM pick that is already on my shelf.

[gaporter]

Using this and the last hint... a Neil Young AOTM maybe?

Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life - Wikipedia

en.m.wikipedia.org

If GNGO picked a white dude artist I will do something rash.
