I actually saw A Lot of Sorrow in my local store about 4-5 years ago, wish I’d bought it as a second copy. I can’t believe how much it goes for now. A friend was able to track it down in the $250 range about a year and a half ago.
He loves the show, I think I’ve maybe listened to it 1 1/2 times, but I do spin the 7” every year on Thanksgiving.
All it takes is one person to sell it for a crazy amount and then every Discogs seller thinks they can get the same for it. However, the high sold price is $600, now everyone wants $1000 for it. Most of the recently sold are between $250-$400 so if some sellers are practical I could eventually get it for that price range.I actually saw A Lot of Sorrow in my local store about 4-5 years ago, wish I’d bought it as a second copy.

My husband bought me that Bob’s Burgers box
I'd been chasing an original Telephono for years, just couldn't justify the price. Was thrilled that it was reissued and I was finally able to complete my discography.My Spoon collection:
View attachment 76968
I'm missing some EPs and pretty much all the singles, but I have all the full lengths. All originals except Series of Sneaks, Girls Can Tell, Love Ways EP, and Kill the Moonlight. One copy of Gimme Fiction is the 10th anniversary reissue remastered with bonus LP. Next on my list is the Ga Ga 10th anniversary reissue, and the reissue of Soft Effects EP. Found an original 1996 pressing of Telephono at a used record shop for 20 bucks a few years back - probably my least favourite Spoon album but I needed it to round out the collection
Totally! I picked up the Soft Effects EP reissue the other day. That should be it for a while. Do you know if the Slay on Cue remasters are much different? Spoon records already sound great with no need for remastering IMHO, with the exception of TWMS and Hot Thoughts, which is more due to Fridmann’s mix I think.
TBH I can’t answer that as the only one I have is Telephono and had nothing to compare it with.
No Halo Benders?
No. I honestly haven't given them much of a listen. Probably should though.
They can be hit-or-miss, especially depending on how you like Calvin's shtick.
I saw this photo and was going to reply with the same question lol. Halo Benders are good! All things Calvin Johnson does is good too. But lots of people don't like the Halo Benders because both of them share lead vocals and sing at the same time which very unique.
Yeah Storytelling soundtrack is not worth revisiting and the movie itself was hard to watch.
Nice!!
Yup! I started getting serious about collecting in 2014 so prices have risen significantly since. If the standard pressings were all $14 I’d have absolutely picked them up. It’s hard to justify $25 each plus shipping for the Matador reissues. I’m just hoping I’ll find them in the wild second hand somewhere.
Holy shit I’m jealous. I’m missing 88, Goes Country (which are two of my favorites by him), rockin with, and Jonathan sings. He’s actually really fun to collect because these are relatively hard to come by. All except the recent I, Jonathan and & the modern lovers s/t record I’ve managed to find in the wild.
This inspired me to finally listen to I, Jonathan after reading about it for a long time and holy shit I'm pissing myself.
