My collection isn't as exciting as others, but in the spirit of sharing I have (also have a few duplicates which I must post up here to pass on, but everything is in storage at the mo') ...

Cd.

Cd.

"S&TQ" (2 x 7") Clear. Red. Orange.
(10") White. Black

"Sink or Swim Demos"- Orange. Green/Black. Yellow. Gold

"The '59 Sound" (7")- Gold. Black.
"Old White Lincoln" (7")- Whiter.

"The '59 Sound" (7")- Clear.

"Live ..." (10")- Black.

Couple of signed posters.

"Gospel Hymns" (7")- Brown. White. Black (US). Black (Euro). Gold. Silver.

"Johnny Cash Tribute" (12")- Brown.

does your SOS clear play well? Mine sounds horrible.

To be honest I haven't played it

I know there was a lot of problems with the clear with blue splatter. My first copy jumped horribly; I picked up a second (which I gave a cursory listen to and seemed fine), so I passed the jumper on to a friend!

My extra copy of Sink or Swim on White with Red Splatter has been sold...sorry if anyone was looking for it.

the OP sees everything

I got the No Release cassette via this forum, as Chris Eissing, the producer, is a member. He found 15 tapes, and 13 were given by the forum admin to deserving fans. One was given away in a competition on here, and one will be auctioned for charity some time soon, also via this forum. There are several threads connected with this (search under 'Coffee House Sessions').

I will post a new photo when I have the American Slang items in which I am still waiting for, as my collection has grown since.

i'd love to have the coffee house sessions! i just hope people don't start selling them on ebay some years from now..

they probably will, but i'd love to have one too. particularly with the note from brian.

Haha... I do see everything!

Here is the link to the thread about giving away the tapes in a contest:

the thread about giving them away to deserving members:
https://thegaslightanthem.forumotion.com/news-f4/the-coffeehouse-sessions-t1392.htm

and everything that Steady Now Steady Now said was pretty much spot on for a condensed history of the tape.

Did we ever give one away for that Christmas contest? Or did not enough people do it?

yep, Palmer89 won.

These are just ridiculous lol...all I have are 2 shirts...I plan on buying all the albums on CD and vinyl eventually, but I don't make any money xD

I think the last one on Ebay was in October. I "won" it with a relatively low high bid but it never showed up. Seller said it was sent out media with no tracking or delivery confirmation. I ended up getting a refund after a month or so and never heard from the guy again. So either there's one copy floating around in the USPS or he kept it. Pretty disappointing overall.

I still want that and the black SoS but I'm considering selling the other stuff - the rest of the 1st+2nd pressings of SoS, the colored The '59 Sounds, couple copies of the demos, and a few more. Maybe I should put together a list.

well that sucks. there was the one on ebay to which he was referring (last week, or that's what i was assuming), and then there was another one that ended about 2 weeks ago, ended around ~250.

i need the other two first presses (blue, white/red splatter), the green of 59 sound and american slang, VC american slang, and i think the 5th press of SOS. and i guess the 1.5 euro press of SATQ

the american slang prices have already dropped significantly so i'ma wait it out on those.

I have just re-photographed my expanded collection. Here its is:





The front row shows promo CDs (incl. the original SoS demos on CD-R on the left). The second row shows the most important free cover CDs and compliations, as well as a selection of the remainder). The other rows should be self-explanatory. I don't collect vinyl colour variants.

It's here!!!!!

awesome! my guy hasn't gotten back to me in a few days, i'm getting nervous
