isn't there someone here (mike possibly?) who has the entire death cab catalogue?

^ even better, someone who owns everything but never bought anything second-hand. Got it all from the original distributor.

Yeah, Mike. I thought he collected all things Barsuk?

It depends what you mean by the entire catalogue.

I don't have the cassettes Chords, ATQ and MYA, as I chose not to buy it at the time (IDIOT). I think I have everything on vinyl, except the Grand Hotel van Cleef version of Trans and the white Facts. I don't have any of the Australian versions of the albums (on Architecture and Shock, but I think I have all the Aussie singles), but have the Japanese and British, German and the Spanish versions.

I don't have the promo CDs for Facts - either Barsuk or Fierce Panda (I don't think there was one for Airplanes), but think I have all the rest.

On the promo poster front I have everything except Forbidden Love and Airplanes.

As for buying things from shops when they came out, except "Your Bruise", Devil in the Woods (which a mate in Portland swapped me for some old Elvis Costello singles) and the Sub Pop single (I wasn't in the singles club, but got it second hand pretty soon after it came out)) I did but regular releases from shops or Barsuk.

Interesting fact,(zzzzzzzzzzz). I had two versions of "Your Bruise", which were slightly different. If you look at the Rev Hydra side of the cover on one version there is a white box background for the Elsinor address, but on the other the black ink was just on the normal red background.

I only have the white one now, as I swapped the other for a job lot of Japanese albums from a nice woman in Tokyo.

There may be releases I don't know about too. Maybe Taiwan?

Jesus Christ! I don't think anyone will be able to top that.

I have all the LPs (although Airplanes is a repress), including white Facts, all the singles except the UK IWPYH and Your Bruise. Don't have any cassettes yet, but that may change.

Wow, Mike. You are crazy (in the best way possible). That is quite the collection. Have you done the math to figure out how much money you've made Barsuk over the years?

haha, yeah, barsuk owes you a big fruit basket mike!

yeah that's the same with me. do you feel like you still want the original though?

I would like it but I doubt I'll ever get it.

When my daughter was little, I worked out I was working about three days a month for Walt Disney. I'd rather work those days for Barsuk. But actually, it's not that much. I just buy whatever they release each month, and they don;t release every month, and trawl eBay for stuff that like radio promos and that BLOODY first version of Treats (catalogue number grrr001) which never appears.

Oh, and my list above is only partial. I also have UK, Japanese and German version of many of the releases.

has anyone actually played their version of facts on vinyl? i've noticed that in certain songs like 405 and company calls the guitars are sounding out of tune, and i know it's not a belt drive problem because i have a direct drive turntable now. wtf

I have. Sounds good to me.

Mike, I have the Prom Saloon Song +2 EP. Ben actually guest vocals on the EP.
And the lead singer, James Mendenhall (he actually plays piano in "Stability") and I have been messaging each other over myspace, and he just sent me a full album that the Prom made right before they broke up that never got released.
