Title: Sweatbees
Post by: johnnYYac on Jul 01, 2010, 09:52 PM
"Sweatbees"

Special extended Australian only 'best of' compilation of previously released tracks!

Lowdown
The Way That He Sings
O Is The One That Is Real
Come Closer
Sooner
Sweetheart ("Chocolate And Ice EP" version)
Can You See The Hard Helmet On My Head
Death Is The Easy Way ("At Dawn" version)
How Do You Know

I just got this CD on eBay with a winning bid of $5.50!  I have all of these tracks digitally in numerous places, but having the new CD is sweet.

I was gonna tag this on the end of another Sweatbees thread, but according to the search function, this is the first thread on the subject in the past year.

Any thoughts on the various EPs?  Tune selection?  Which one(s) are worth having?  

Also curious about all of the tunes MMJ released throught the Louisville is For Lovers series.  I don't own any of those, but have a few of the tracks (not all, though).  Wouldn't a compilation of all these loose tracks be nice...

Ch. 3  Melting Point. Later Recordings

I almost bought that on eBay once and forgot before the bidding was over.  Nice score!  Cheap!

I made this a while back and was just thinking how I may be ready to work on my chapter 4 soon.

I had no idea that there was an extended version. Up until now I just thought I had the normal Sweatbees.

Just had a thoroughly enjoyable listen to Sweatbees.  What a perfect collection of tunes.  And I love the picture inside, with beardless Tommy and Patrick.

It might be.  I don't do vinyl, so I picked up the CD (released in 2002)on eBay back in July for $5.50.  It also happens to be an Australian version, which has 4 additional tracks.  

Lowdown
The Way that He Sings
O is the One that is Real
Come Closer
Sooner

Add'l tracks on Australian version:

Sweetheart (from Chocolate and Ice EP)
Can You See the Hard Helmet on My Head
Death is the Easy Way (At Dawn version)
How Do You Know

Right now, there's a 5-track CD on eBay going for $38.39 ($3 shipping) and the Australian 9-track CD for about $20 (plus about $7 shipping) from Australia, new and sealed.  Makes me feel pretty good snagging it for $6!

The Australian version of the Sweatbees EP on CD, with three more tracks than the US version, is available on eBay from a seller in Australia for (what looks like) about $28 US, shipping included.  The US version is also available elsewhere on eBay for almost $40, so this is kind of a good deal, and there are many available. 

For the completist, who just received a check from their great aunt Edna for Christmas, this may be worth it.  Copies do come up from time to time for far less, as the start of this thread indicates.  Just FYI.

I bought the Aussie version a long time ago before it got rare for pennies.Great collection of tunes to turn someone on who's never heard of MMJ.

eBay has a number of these CDs up right now, with the 5-track version running almost $40 and the Aussie version running $70!!!  So the listing above of the Aussie for $30 is comparatively a good deal, I suppose.

I had to post this.  Someone in the US is selling the 9-track version, 4 copies available and brand new, for the low LOW price of only...

$1000 ! ! !

Don't miss your chance! 

WTF?

Of course, I failed to consider the fact the shipping is FREE!   :thumbsup:

Here are 2 available for about $30: http://cgi.ebay.com/MY-MORNING-JACKET-Sweatbees-CD-Sealed-Australian-9-Tr-/170524147064?pt=AU_Audio_CDs&hash=item27b407fd78 (http://cgi.ebay.com/MY-MORNING-JACKET-Sweatbees-CD-Sealed-Australian-9-Tr-/170524147064?pt=AU_Audio_CDs&hash=item27b407fd78)

Now some dude in Cinci had 4 copies of the 9-track Aussie version for $70.33!!!  Each!  This is insane!   >:(

Only 2 left here for $27 each, much more reasonable:  :thumbsup:

The Sweatbees listed for $1000 is gone.  I'm assuming not because someone fell for it.  :(

Looks like those 2 new, sealed 9-track Sweatbees CDs are now only $22 (shipping included, from Australia).  From my experience, this is a very good price on a must-have EP.

Wow those are crazy prices! When did it get this rare? I Picked mine up around this time last year for like $10 including delivery. Now a Heartbreakin Man EP should/will cost a little more.
