Gwiz-gau Letter Grade:  B+ Sad To See It Go: No Every once in a while there is a freak sale on Amazon that reminds me I should list more titles on there even though they take a massive cut.  Although they eliminated 2/3 of distributed CD's individual vendors can sell, they still allow indie singles and books.  This was what drove me to Discogs in 2016 before I even started selling off the vinyl portion of my collection.  This means this single

Gwiz-gau Letter Grade:  B+ Sad To See It Go: No I let this debut Tad single go well below the median after around a decade of trying to get a hundred bucks plus or minus for  it.  $70 instead ain't gonna kill me, this was just sitting in a storage pile year after year so if someone finally wanted it for a deal so be it.  It's not like I let it go for five bucks. When I first heard it, I thought it wasn't anything part

  Artist: Matthew Sweet Title: Blue Sky On Mars Label: Volcano/Zoo Entertainment Format: CD Catalog Number: 61422-31130-2 Year of Release:  1997 Country and Year  of Edition: US 1997 Sell Price: $2.99 Sell Date: 3/26/24 Condition: VG+/VG+ Discogs Last Sold  3/31/24 NM/NM $1.85 Low: $0.88 Median: $2.09 Average: $2.55 High: $6.32 Current  low price:  $0.77 Current Number on  Sale at Discogs: 70 Have/Want:  894/22 Where Sold: Flushing, MI Time It Took  To Sell:  12 years Where and When  Bought: tossed collection Gwiz-gau Letter Grade:  B+ Sad To See  It Go: No The third and final Matthew Sweet sale from last week was the follow-up to 100% Fun entitled Blue Sky On Mars.  The cover features lettering from famed Yes artist Roger Dean, but prog-stylings are nowhere to be found.  I guess that's why the buyer bought the first Yes album along with the Sweet CD's. Anyway gone are contributions from Lloyd & Quine. Ric Menke stays for half the tracks and big box producer Brendan O'B

Since this band is from the Bay Area, I'm guessing I got it booking a show at Midway or m
