Glass Animals blowing up was definitely not on my bingo card. They played a free show in a coffee shop in Kansas City around the time Zaba was released. I regrettably did not attend.
That’s crazy! Once I ordered this from eBay as “used, like new” and they sent me the swirl copy. I sold it for $100 or so and re bought the black and thought I had it good…
Back when VMP was small and had a whole curated section and albums were $20 or less, they also gave away tickets to select Glass Animals shows with the purchase of ZABA. I won two tickets to a show in Buffalo. I saw them again two years later with Little Dragon at a show in Cooperstown. I never did get around to buying Dreamland.
Honestly, the majority of their audience when Zaba was released hasn't even started to make the "good money" yet. It's probably not a horrible investment.
