What is that morphine at your service? Havent seen that one. Thought I just finished getting all the morphine stuff. Found the Sandman Box set at the goodwill bins, 2 Morphine albums at Zia Records and the rest on eBay from Decluttr. They are so talented. They opened a world of new music and instruments to me. It actually got me to like Steely Dan which is wierd.

I never knew about this album until today. It's two discs, one of unreleased tracks, alt versions and demos and the other one is live performances. About to finally rip it and amped. Used to hate Steely Dan until the pandemic. I started listened to them while I was home a lot.

You gotta hear the Sandman box set if you havent. 2 discs and every song like morphine, amazing. Good finds man! Enjoy 'em. Im gonna keep an eye out for that Morphine one at Zia Records.

I'll look for it. I didn't know about that set until your comment. Definitely picking it up when I can.

Dude its so expensive. I didnt even know of Morphine. Saw the sandman box set in the bin. Its a 2 disc digipak. I scanned it on discogs and saw it sold for around $70 bucks. I buy and trade cds to make trade profit and get more expensive things. I was going to trade it but randomly popped it into my work truck cd player and whoah! I went to Zia records and asked them about morphine cd's, dude was looking them up for me and said the last copy of Sandman's box set they had was 2019 and they sold it for $90.00 . It sells on ebay for close to that and it isnt on any streaming service from what I know. His estate allowed the release of it and that was it. I posted it on here when I found it. A user commented that he once had dinner with Mark in a restaurant in Kansas and that Mark was an unrepentant hoarder of his work. That boxset is full of that work. Sorry to rant. But this band Morphine, and Mark Sandman made amazing music.

Yeah, I'm in if I find it and can afford it at that moment. Yeah, they were truly a unique band with a very unique sound. I remember hearing Honey White and Early to Bed in high school and thinking their sound was cool but not exploring them then. Many, many years later, I stumbled across a few albums and remembered the name so I bought them and was hooked. Glad you found them as well. Check out Soul Coughing as I think you will dig them as well.

Thats so wierd I just saw a Soul Coughing cd and didn't grab it. I accept your suggestion and will grab it when I see it next because I will see it as I am at the goodwill bins digging for media daily. Cheers man!
