    why is it so rare?
    Well the album was released in 2006, before the big vinyl comeback so limited amounts were pressed. 
    I know lots of people have been wanting a copy with little luck finding one.

    Chris Murphy is playing an online solo show on Sept 13. 


    Chris Murphy here. I am a fan of ensembles. Whether it’s The Beatles or SCTV. I have played for almost 30 years in Sloan and in recent years, a few other projects - TUNS, Trans-Canada Highwaymen and Anyway Gang. All are ensembles. 

    I am going to play a show by myself. It gives me a chance to play some songs that haven’t been played live in years, tell stories and interact with people without someone counting in the next song in hopes that I won’t.

    the show yesterday was great. solo acoustic, first time he's ever done that. it was about 80 minutes, and he took questions from some fans in between; really cool vibe. he's going to be doing 3 more over the next few months, no repeats, so he's doing some hits, but also a lot of deep cuts since he knows the people buying in are big fans and love that stuff. 

    such a great idea. would love to see (I know ed won't) but maybe Jeff or Stone doing it would be really cool.

    fun fact. I was delving into the rarities/b-sides world of weezer, and found out that a song credited to weezer is actually Rivers on vocals, and 3 guys from Sloan as his backing band.

    I really wish I could continue to justify these purchases. But with shipping, $49 for a single record. Something I've bought digitally twice already (computer crash). And the whole set will likely be four installments. $200 for 4 records whose music I already own. 

    Nope. can't do it.

    Thanks HFD! 
    I just may plunge into this one... 

    EDIT - I didn’t read all the posts. $46 after shipping... I’m going to pass. If I saw it in a shop for $30 I’d grab it for sure

    i don't have even a fraction of what some people on this board have and I've already started to pump the brakes. LOL

    Thanks for the heads up on this but I'm in the same boat, $50 for a record would give my wife too many reasons to come at me. And I'm trying to rationalize a King Buffalo test pressing that comes out on Friday. It's gonna be closer to $100 CDN with shipping but limited to 25 copies, signed by the band etc.

    Thanks for the heads up, might have to hold off for now though. It's a bit steep for what it is just before the holidays

    I once took a girl to see Sloan, and she left with another guy; he later became my boss at a part-time job of mine, and one day over after-work beers I told him the story - and then we laughed and we laughed and we laughed. This is not, in fact, a summary of a Sloan song, but an actual thing that happened to me in university. It coloured my relationship with the band, let's put it that way.

    I bet Chris Murphy would get a kick out of that story. almost sounds like a Sloan song in the making....

    Patrick from Sloan has a new side project I didn't know about until today. Called Fuzzed Out. Two songs released today.
