    New Porcupine Tree Fan

    I've recently come to admire Porcupine Tree over the last several months, and was looking at their discography online and saw an album titled "Recordings", which I guess is a compilation of some of their best B-side stuff. Anyhoo it's seems pretty hard to get ahold of, and I actually found it at a couple places, but the price was $67.00 at one place and $82.00 at the other place. Can this be right? Anyone have this one, and how is it? Would/did you but it at a similar price?

    Thanks for any info...

    yeah those prices are spot on for that album. its very rare. it was quite a limited pressing back when the Tree was even less known than it is now, and when it gained some popularity, specially since In Absentia, the prices of the collector's items (and "recordings" definately qualifies as a collector's item) have sky rocketed. If you have the cash to blow, i'd say grab it. Its kinda like a pink floyd signed LP, there aren't any more of those around as time goes by, so prices are sure to keep rising.
    cheers!
    I remember the days when I thought 128kbps sounded great and had never spent more than 10 bucks on cables...

    Yeah, buy it and burn copies for the 47 PT fans on the board.

    Thanks in advance.

    Geez guys, I have this (Sn. 5052- I think they did 10k). I paid list price for it, like 16 bucks. It's pretty good, but definitely not urgent or required. For PT obscurities I like "Metanoia" or "Yellow Hedgerow Dreamscape" more.

    Buy all the studio albums from "Up the Down Stair" onward first.

    PM me if you just GOTTA have it.

    I'm a new PT fan as well!

    B&W sent me a DVD last year advertising their speakers and it had a DTS track of "blackest eyes" from In Absentia. I thought the song was fantastic, well recorded, and overall very enjoyable!

    So i went out about bought In Absentia and Deadwing in the last couple of weeks and they are probably the two best CDs i have in my (modest) collection. Good stuff! ;-)

    You might as well wait...the other rare album of their's Insignificance which was a collection of demos and alternate takes from '97, was a website only release back when, but is now 'disc two' in the re-issue of Signify. They might do the same thing w/ Recordings at some point. At least, that's what I'm banking on, cuz I'm not going to pay 80 bucks on a used CD.

    BTW: If you haven't checked out Signify, you might want to do so.

    I have CDr of Warsaw and XM. Both are solid live albums recorded around "In Absentia". Tight band, but go for the studio stuff first.

    Can't wait for the DVD.

    Wilson mentioned they were gonna do one for release "in 2006" at the concert last year. Deadwing tour stuff, I'd imagine.

    definately there with you, i think signify is AWESOME.
    and even the new vinyl release comes with the Insignificance album as a bonus. Awesome stuff.
    I remember the days when I thought 128kbps sounded great and had never spent more than 10 bucks on cables...
