    anyone know where i can buy one of these?
    any portlanders want to pick one up for me? PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAASE!

    Greg, I would love to but it is GONE! I didn’t pick one up (that’s what happens when you’re broke for the week or two after an MR release comes out).

    Damn, I’m so glad to see this. I’ve been trying to track down a copy myself for some time. I even found a few and could listen to them in-store but the owners wouldn’t sell. Mucho thanks for posting this.

    An unfortunately limited release, record stores were severely shorted and got maybe one or two copies per store. Thanks for the mp3’s!

    wish mississippi would’ve pressed more than 200 of this…..instant limited edition collectors/rare records are a pretty stupid idea, especially when the demand is there…

  6. Pete swans on March 23rd, 2010

    To mississippi’s defense, they didn’t actually press these records.. They were pressed by the guy who recorded them about ten years ago and never released. Mississippi is supposedly planning on doing a single lp version of this set in a larger run. You may try writing jackpot records. I saw a copy in their shop a week ago that seemed to have been sitting for awhile

    Fantastic. Thanks a lot for doing this, Jefre.

    yes indeed! thanks so much, been looking for this for awhile; I hesitated for a few seconds too long when it was available.

    thanks, this made my day!

    Gah, can’t even keep up w/ Mississippi releases anymore.
    Huge thanks for sharing! Hopefully a rerelease is imminent.

    I scoured the Portland record stores today – no copies left anywhere that I could find!
    BUMMER.
    I guess I’ll just hafta settle for the single LP version…

    i bought a copy (3LP) from the recording artist just now, he had a few of them for sale but they sold out within one day.
    i am very glad that i picked this one up…

  13. Piotr on May 4th, 2010

    This set is amazing.

  14. kris on May 19th, 2010

    I have copy 132 of the 3lp set and am willing to sell. It has never been played and is in presumably pristine condition. I am unemployed and a little anxious about trying to sell at a distance. If a Portlander were willing to drive down -I am in Eugene- for a face to face exchange I would be happier and willing to take less cash for less risk. Anyone interested in making an offer can reach me at 541-554-8953.

  15. gd on May 20th, 2010

    i ended up getting the 1LP version that just came out.

    Hats off to you Mr. Brooks!

  17. Jerry on July 26th, 2013

    Hi, I loved the 2nd volume, but seem to have missed the first volume. Any chance for a re-up? Thanks!!!!!
