Awesome, i'll go look for those, and really thank you for checking it out and the praise, it means a lot to me. I know Phil means a lot to a lot of people and I'm just trying to be respectful and do as good a job as I can on this.
Really appreciate the input!
Just put up my actual discography, which needs work, but I'm pretty proud of, I think the next entry is gonna be about the Mount Eerie LP/CD
cheers

Hello all. This is a little late in the thread for a formal hello but I kinda felt like it would annoy everyone if I started a whole new thread for this same topic. My name is Brian and I do a Phil Discography etc... blog (the one alluded to in the title of the thread). It is called THE WRAITH and it is located, a little confusingly, at theseancetwo.blogspot.com/(sorry, long story about the name and the blog name not matching) As mentioned already on this thread I am sort of a Phil dork to the dorkiest degree. My intention with the blog is to catalog in absolutely as much detail as possible all Phil related releases, with pics and release info and stories and anything else I can accrue. (There are sometimes more personal asides and stories and experiences peppered in with the factual release history info, I try to keep it entertaining and related to the release. This is first and foremost meant to be an information source. A Phil info resource. But I also don't want it to be cold and stuffy so sometimes my life creeps in on it too, you can feel free to skim and skip over those parts. It won't hurt my feelings.) There's quite a bit up already but obviously so much more to go. I try to get posts up on a regular basis but life gets in the way sometimes. I hate dealing with blogs that never ever seem to get updated so I try my best not to be one. Just posted a pretty lengthy diatribe about the Mount Eerie LP and before that I finally got up the Phil discography I've been working on forever. I'll be updating the discography as I get new info to try to make it as complete as possible and the other posts just come, one release at a time, talking as in depth as I can about the particular release. I'm also, if I can figure out a decent way to, going to try to post downloads of the harder to find stuff as well as all those lost live shows that used to be up on the old version of the Preservation Society. Man do I miss the old MEPS. It, and its disappearance, were my first inspirations to do this blog. Please come check it out, say hi, comment, follow it, whatever. I'm just one kid out here and I can use all the help I can get to make this as thorough and accurate and anecdote friendly as possible. If you see something on there that is wrong or I've said something that's not accurate please let me know! I am not trying to act like I'm the big authority on all this stuff. I'm sure I'm getting info wrong left and right, so please pitch in if you can. Just trying to play my little part in something big. Thanks for your time and/or interest!

whoa, no kidding. entirely unaware of that. do you happen to have a picture or a copy of the all gold version? and, to that end, do you happen to know if that was released in a more limited quantity or anything? was there a similar alternate cover for "the singing from", etc...
thanks for the info!

yeah, i can take a picture of it. and i've been searching for a gold singing anytime one is up for sale on record trading sites, with no luck, for a few years i'll also just zip up a bunch of pictures that i've been collecting over the years (blood & little bird covers off ebay, the "portland" version of singers, weird things i've saved, etc).
but it will be a few days before i can take pics of my own stuff. i sold my shirts, but have some pictures still. i had a flickr page, but its prolly easier to zip it.
i imagine a lot of it will be redundant, but whatevs.
to add to the discography: singers - portland version LP (rice paper sleeve, with insert, limited to maybe 40 if i remember right) no kids - cherry tree 7" (http://aagoo.bigcartel.com/product/no-kids) there are two different pennants for winds poem tugboat fiasco - booklet was numbered out of 150. some people called it a zine, but it's all album notes. fancy people adventures - 2005 day to day calendar. pw elverum and sun letterpressed catalog (sold for 1 cent, 2006) "how to buy mount eerie pts 6 & 7" instructional scrap of paper.
if you do an "art section" at some point, i photographed the posters he sold at his art show (calvin bought them all before the show opened..)
and i think he helped paint some of the vvrrssnn LPs, but i haven't verified that.
also i've never seen a clear lost wisdom. white was the first press, sold out on PW.com, and then varying marbled ones were pressed up.
also, was the worried noodles compilation every put on LP? i know there were plans, and i've seen a photo online (a single lp, which would not fit all of this music), but someone should point me in the right direction....

thank you so much for this! so much info here, it's gonna take me a minute to process it and get it into the discography properly.
any and all pics you can find relating to these and anything else are greatly appreciated, regardless of redundancy.
and certainly everything is going to go up on the site eventual, i mean, the pennants will get a post, posters etc... so anything, pics, info, pertaining to anything is great
i think ive got the catalog listed, its letter pressed and its the first one i believe is says, i'll have to post that so you can see.
yeah, the clear lost wisdom i think was the 3rd one i got (brown was the third).
and i've seen a similar worried noodles post on amazon i think, leading me to believe there is in fact a vinyl version with a larger soft cover book.
what did he do on that no kids 7" play or production?
thanks again, this is like xmas coming early, a treasure trove of new info.
keep in touch

Worried Noodles was first a book by David Shrigley shaped like a LP with fake lyrics sheet (but no music). Then Tomlab had the idea to ask to bands to record songs with these lyrics. So is the story of the 2xCD + book Worried noodles issue.

So is the story of the 2xCD + book Worried noodles issue. I thought there was a vinyl edition, that came without a cover or something, made to fit the book. I don't remember for sure though because I've never seen it.

Ok I think i have this cleared up. Or, at least, I have the part of it that I was confused about cleared up. What originally made me think there was a vinyl version of this was this: www.amazon.com/David-Shrigley-Worried-Noodles-Songbook/dp/386560028X/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1291982601&sr=8-2obviously looks to the casual observer like an LP version. However upon closer inspection/re-reading, and Amazon page descriptions can be pretty vague sometimes, there is no mention of any audio being included in this version, and, in the description, the guy seems to be saying that he didn't make a record because it was going to be too difficult and so just made an insert that looked like a record to accompany the original soft-cover version. I'm going to assume that there is no vinyl unless someone can come up with some more compelling info than this. Thanks for keeping this going, I would have just gone on making the wrong assumption about this had everyone not.

I think the Portland Singers is limited to 26 copies, 1 of which was destroyed in someone's car?

I've got one of them. Buying it seemed like a good idea at the time.

or if not, then maybe you could send some pics of it my way?
