PopTodd Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 HUGE Shrimp Boat fan, here.And I just got word (in my email) that their ENTIRE back catalog has been reissued by: www.aumfidelity.com Plus, if you like what you hear on those discs, they also issued a 3-disc box set of unreleased stuff that is, for somebody like me, absolutely essential and a complete joy! I think that collection is still readily available through all the usual outlets, but the reissues are big news for me. I just picked up Daylight Savings/Some Biscuit and have now completed the entire Shrimp Boat discography. Also, AUM is reissuing the first Falstaff album too. It's pretty awesome -- the other (non-Sam) half of SB. And no, I do NOT work for Aum Fidelity. Steven has just been a really solid businessman and very responsive and cool. I like supporting the little guy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aricandover Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 awesome! I'll definitely check this stuff out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PopTodd Posted March 10, 2008 Author Share Posted March 10, 2008 Anyone have a chance to check this out?I'm curious to know what you thought of it all, as I am a S.B. cultist. Listeining to Cavale as I type. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
markosis Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Man, I can't wait to get my hands on some of that. I'm a Sam Prekop/Sea And Cake devotee to a fault. Just got The Biz on Friday and I'm currently addicted. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just got The Biz on Friday and I'm currently addicted. With the exception of his voice, the SB records (excepting Cavale) all sound pretty damn different from The Sea and Cake. A lot weirder and more organic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PopTodd Posted March 11, 2008 Author Share Posted March 11, 2008 I would say theres more of a jazz influence Absolutely.And also a very strong Appalatcian (sp?) folk/country influence too, in some of the tunes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LouieB Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 The Shrimp Boat Box set from a few years back was outstanding... LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LouieB Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 I got Speckeled Egg on reissue as well.... I have found the other regularly released albums over the years. LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PopTodd Posted March 11, 2008 Author Share Posted March 11, 2008 I got Speckeled Egg on reissue as well.... I have found the other regularly released albums over the years. LouieB "Speckled Egg"?You referring to "Speckly"? Yeah, I grabbed that, too when AUM reissued it. I think that with the new reissues that I mentioned in the first post in this thread, that my SB collection (minus the offshoot bands) is now complete. I do need to pick up a few more TSAC records as well as the second Falstaff record. I am such a freak about them and I take a lot of crap about that at another board where I post. Oh well.

dannygutters Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 I got a shrimp boat record from my neighbor's garage sale. It was way warped tho so it didn't play well... I'll ahve to check this out! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'll ahve to check this out! Start with Cavale and work your way back, chronologically. If you start with the Some Biscuit+Daylight Savings disc, you will not be happy.

Louie: You know about The Flavor Channel? Another Chicago band that you may like.Yea Speckly..it was early. I found it used too. Also people should try the Coctails reissues as well, since they were Archer Prewitt's original band as well. Their box set is also quite good and fun. LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mpolak21 Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Absolutely.And also a very strong Appalatcian (sp?) folk/country influence too, in some of the tunes. Appalachian . They'd revoke my West Virginia citizenship if I didn't know how to spell that. Anyway, this sounds right up my alley, I'll have to check them out. I saw them on your top twenty albums list and I try to make a point to at least google any record I see on those that I don't recognize. --Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And, if the Appalachian thing is what you're looking for, you'll dig Speckly with the biggest shovel. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
