throwgncpr Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 I feel like on the wire is the favorite record of this band for people who didnt listen to them when they put out something to write home about and red letter days. on the wire sucks. such a boring record. this is the least-exciting TGUK news ever, repressing a mediocre/boring record and a record full of b-sides with two good covers. I completely disagree. I like all their albums, and listened to them from the start. On A Wire is a fantastic album. People were pissed because they were expecting Something to Write Home About part 2. Honestly, I like Four Minute Mile better than STWHA. Musicians change over time. Get over it. sacredheart 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffbloom Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 I now I need Guilt Show and still haven't found Something To Write Home About at a decent price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dantheriver Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Ordered both from interpunk for $36.36 shipped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On A Wire took some getting used to, but it's really good songwriting. Probably took me a year to love it after being so attached to their earlier material. I still can't get into There Are Rules.

It's really good, though another big departure. Guilt Show is the only album I don't love. Though, it's still worth owning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somethingvinyl Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 I saw this news a week ago but didn't think about mentioning it because I have both of these already. Pretty sure I bought a dude's collection in 2010 which was 80 records at $2 a piece and these two were in there. Hmm... I can't remember.Here's the thing about TGUK: there just a great freaking band.They matured as writers and musicians every record. Each album has a unique feel. I can say unequivocally that Something To Write Home About is my favorite. But I love On A Wire and Guilt Show is fantastic too. I hated that last thing that came out two years ago. But OAW is solid. Eudora is fun but unnecessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radiatorhums Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 I snagged Eudora used for fairly cheap (10$ I think). I didn't really love On A Wire, but I think I'm going to order it anyway. Overdue is such an incredible song, that alone makes me want it. I hope the live album gets a pressing at some point, it was perfect.

DarthBobul Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 So are the copies available through Amazon 180g as well? I just bought Eudora over at Kings Road and On A Wire at Amazon. Only Eudora was advertised as being 180. I didnt see anything on Amazon about 180. (Id have gotten OAW over at Kings Road Merch had it not been listed as Sold Out) Amazon also says nothing about the number of copies being limited to 1000 either. I love both these albums. Very excited to get these either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kjkenney Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 stoked to pick up On A Wire again. I got an OG press of Eudora by trading a copy of On A Wire about a year ago....I want that album back in all its amazingness, if not only to listen to 'Campfire Kansas' til the needle on my turntable wears through the record Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildstar Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 I wish they'd reissue STWHA. I'm having a hard time shelling out $60 for it. I finally bought the Red Letter Day 10" off of discogs, and I'm so glad. The sound has a much more open, less compressed sound than my cd (or least the rip of my cd, which long since disappeared). These two records are two of my favorite of that era. 4 Minute Mile was also awesome, but I could swear it was a superchunk record. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cwhitmuzik Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 and doghouse records sold stwha for $8 last year...i think it was in december as a holiday sale. at least this is where I got mine. Still goes for 40+ on ebay easily. Those copies sold out insanely quick too, desperately wanted one but had to luck out and find it for 20 on discogs instead.

I snagged a used pink copy at my local record store in 2010 (I think) for $10-12. Didn't realize the price for this had sky rocketed.

The price has been insane for about a year on this record. I'm just going to have to suck it up I guess. I'm not sure I've ever even seen it on vinyl in the last decade. I had a friend who had a copy back when it was released, but you just never see them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
