sonicshoulder Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 I have been watching for this record at least bi-weekly for the last couple of years on Ebay and Amazon. There had been one used copy sitting on Amazon for a quite a while for 49 bucks + shipping and I couldn't bring myself to pull the trigger despite my love of the album. So to make a short story long I do a Amazon search the other day and voila...there it is for $16.99 brand new. 23 days later and it has shipped!!! (For those of you that don't use Amazon 23 days for something to ship is about 4 years in regular customer service time.) I apologize for sandbagging and not mentioning something earlier but I have been screwed on this record before and I remember last year when someone posted the Mermaid vinyls were available somewhere across the pond and they were gobbled up in a matter of minutes, literally. Twice I have purchased this record online from different sites only to have them email me days later and say "oops, we don't have that any more." So as of 3/21 at 9:00 EST they claim to have "one in stock, more on the way". Enjoy! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LouieB Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 I bought a very lightly used copy at Pitchfork a couple years back for 12 bucks. Be patient..or not. Is it out of print? LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sonicshoulder Posted March 25, 2011 Author Share Posted March 25, 2011 Apparently it was out of print because like I said I couldn't find one anywhere before. I searched for info on a reissue but nothing came up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Albert Tatlock Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Wilco should take that ton of them they have hanging round the Loft and sell them at the summer festival thingy. Win - win. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Preferred B Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Is this the vinyl with the most egregious typos ever in the liner notes? I remember thinking it must have been intentional, they were so bad. But I believe Scott McCaughey is on the record saying they weren't. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I remember thinking it must have been intentional, they were so bad. But I believe Scott McCaughey is on the record saying they weren't. My CD copy has a couple of liner note errors as well, the lyrics of Daggers Drawn run twice and they aren't any for Groove Supply. --Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pathfire Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Got an email from Yep Roc about this today, and this line stuck out in particular. "Combining the art of collaborative recording with the craft of precision lacquer sculpture (and with 5 previously unreleased tracks not available on CD), this lovingly crafted, 180-gram vinyl tour de force is sure to remain a family keepsake for years to come." Anyone know what the 5 previously unreleased tracks are?? I'd love to hear those. I've always only listened to the CD. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
barnyard pimp Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 side 4 is: 1. Lyrical Stance (I've Got A)2. Formerly Hail Centurion3. One More Bottle To Go4. Something or Nothing5. The Days of Wine and Booze there's also a couple of mix differences in the album proper on the vinyl version (i only remember one offhand, going into track 3, but i thought there was another) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
callmebrian Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 Just noticed that this is available in the Wilco Store for 24.95 USD. How long its available and for how long is anybody's guess. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ELS Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 I saw the Baseball Project a few weeks ago and they had vinyl copies at the merch table Quote Link to post Share on other sites
