nefariousfig Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 A couple years ago I bought a single lot off of eBay that included the blue Oh Calcutta!, the original handwritten lyrics for Recovering The Opposable Thumb (from the punknews.org contest), and a Lawrence Arms t-shirt. I paid $70. It's crazy how much the market has changed since then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, I don't think I'll ever part with it, but here's a picture I took when I received it. If you look at the centre of the LP fold-out on the left, you can see the same lyrics for comparison.

minty Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 I'm fucking jealous of that! Who wrote it...Brendan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nefariousfig Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 I'm not 100% sure. I'm guessing Brendan, but I suppose it could've just as easily been Chris. I don't really know what either of their writing looks like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minty Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 I always pictured it to be Brendan's writing, it just seems like what his writing would look like. I'd sell my soul for the hand written lyrics to Like A Record Player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burdenx Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 i haven't seen one of these on ebay since at least 4 months ago. this will go for a fuckload. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minty Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 I got my Oh! Calcutta! on blue (with the coozie) for $60ppd, so like $50 for the actual record. Did get it in 2007 though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j4m35 Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 i got mine for 8 dollars when fat put it up in 2006 or whenever that record came out. i wasn't even into listening to vinyl then, i just thought it'd be cool to have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kevinb Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 id willing to pay 50 but beyond that fuck it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadetapplesauce Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Recovering... one of my favorite songs on the record. best part is: "THIS IS THE FUCKING SLOP LINE! (this is the fucking slop line!)" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j4m35 Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 ghost stories is their best album Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadetapplesauce Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 i beg to differ. it's greatest story, my friend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j4m35 Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 all of them are awesome. ghost stories and a guided tour are better than greatest story...maybe i just enjoy the overtly political songs over the ones cloaked in metaphors. oh well.

cadetapplesauce Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 you're right dude, even though i didsagree with you on the first two being better than the fourth. their entire catalog is fucking amazing. greatest story is just my favorite.

j4m35 Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 i dunno, i know there is equal amounts of energy on all of them...it's just that the energy on the first two is fucking RAW...y'know? the production, delivery...they fucking meant what they said in those songs. i'm sure they meant what they said in the rest of them but in the first two i feel like its much more obvious and intense.

gibby6385 Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 My best friend has Lose Your Illusion 1, that for sure was written by Chris cause he told us and he signed it for him and all that good stuff. Then told us never to sell it. I'm hurting for money right now, think I might have to get rid of my Oh Calcutta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
