Wait they had more copies of the peach LP, that was suppose to be limited to the vault. The LP they accidentally sold more than they had to start with?

I guess they must have found a few in back...new old stock? This one barely smells of peach...maybe that's why they didn't sell it before. :arrow:

Ben, if it makes you feel any better, I sat in the cold, rainy alley behind TMR all night on RSD to buy the lace record for $10. My buddy who was with me at the show today walked right up on a nice warm day and bought it for $6.

No, it was a weird kind of show. A festival put on by metro parks...no RJ prints or anything cool like that.

Wow. Nice pickup Mangry! I didn't look for any merch, but it was a good show. Set ended with Gold Dust Woman, and she mentioned it was her first time playing it live. I also had assumed that she recorded Gold Dust Woman with Beck when he was at Third Man Studios to record, but she said she flew to LA to record that with him.

Damn, I knew I should've gone to that show. It was a rough weekend though. Nice score!

Oh, and I know it's not Karen's song, but she does sing on it, and the song is great.


It's a cover, the original was done by Vashti Bunyan.
