Vagrant 25 Years Vinyl Represses


Recommended Posts

I agree that the strained vocals actually benefit the songs. Musically Good Mourning was a shift towards a more polished rock sound that became much more apparent on later albums. The strained vocals tie it a little better to earlier material, which I prefer.

Now that I’m actually listening for it I can hear it but agree, it suits the album. 
I actually prefer Dan’s songs anyway. Blue Carolina is a fucking great song.

Wouldn’t mind hearing the demos, where can I find them?

Great question! Around the time this came out my friend worked at Doghouse who was like tight with Vagrant people. He gave me a cdr of the demos like in the early 2000s but I can’t find it. 
 

They’ve gotta be on the internet somewhere I’ll see if I can track down! They are just really great, like unpolished versions of the tunes. I personally always loved this LP and I actually attribute it to being a little sloppy and part of that is Skibas vocals.

still mesmerized with these overpriced newbury exclusives. how can they get away with it?? the same record from the same pressing costs 20 from the label.

I agree. I only post this stuff to share it for folks since I have alerts set up in the very rare case something pops up I can’t live without. But for real, pricing is wild and they seem to sell out pretty quick.
