Being There for $139.99!!!


Recommended Posts

Chuck Klosterman did a pretty funny article once where he rated how much album's were worth based upon how much money would it take for you to never to be able to listen to that album again. For Being There it would take upwards of six figures for me.

I just finished reading his book "Fargo Rock City" and he has a chapter in there about this as well. Very funny. Being There would be right up there for me, and YHF and SBS as well. Being There is the first Wilco/Tweedy material I owned, so it has sentimental value as well.

thats what is so amazing about the price. you can buy the same record for much less. it is not out of print.

well, it is out of stock on elusivedisc, so maybe it's not so readily available anymore?

there are two versions of being there on vinyl, the original US release and the later import release. the import is a lot brighter in sound, the cymbals knock you off your chair. they sound as if they were distorted in the recording of the album. the original lp and cd had the top end muted comparably, probably to hide this fact. i think the import has a more live sound to it but the original release sounds more balanced high to low. at least that's my take on them.

So, I assume this ebay listing is for an original US release? It doesn't really say.

i'm not so certain. the import has no gatefold but i believe the original does. (someone correct me if i'm wrong on that as i've gotten rid of my original in favor of the import.)

However, this one has bids.

 

Summerteeth

 

Few years ago, I foolishly passed on a $100 copy of Summerteeth that was signed by the band. (Yes, the bandmembers at that time)

 

I think what would have really made it worth a lot of money would be if it had been autographed by the future band members. I mean, how spooky would that have been?! :blink

 

 

 

You all should probably just ignore me....

I got a email from musicdirect.com last week informing me that Being There is no longer available and my order that i placed about six months ago was canceled.

I already have a copy but i wanted a sealed copy in my collection.
