Title: Where did everyone get First Release?
Post by MethodInMadness on Apr 30^th, 2005, 7:48pm

I can't find it ANYWHERE! Or when I do, it's always selling for $80+. I'm seriously thinking about buying it, but I dont have that kind of money!

I got my vinyl version on eBay for $25 and got the cassette on eBay for (I think) $9. I have a dupe copy of the CD from another Goo fan (I think from this board).

i still don't have it. it's always selling for way more than i can afford on ebay. . .i have a love/hate relationship with ebay. . .i hate it cuz it's so expensive and i love it cuz of the legit, awesome Goo stuff for sale. . . ;D

I found it on German ebay for about 3 Euro (I guess that would be 2-3 $) or something... after I've tried to find it for almost 2 years.

I just wanted to know is the first release the same as Goo Goo Dolls self titled album which has the cover of (Don't fear) the Reaper on it.

Wish I knew where to find it for an OK price. Still don't have it, not even a copy of it. Jed I saw at the store the other day, which surprised me a little, hadn't seen it there in a looong time. (I have that one, a super nice friend gave me one for Xmas a couple years ago)

I got mine off Ebay for $110.50 it was worth every penny! It's still in the original wrapper! Some people are anti-Ebay but hell it's pretty much the only way to get the FR.

I know what you mean. Sometimes, I get some really great deals, other times I'm :o at the prices. I've seen First Release on ebay and heard from other people to go there, but I don't have $100 to blow on one CD. (Which seems the price they're always selling it for.) Maybe if I wait a little longer there'll be a cheaper one?

Anyway, it's good to know I'm not alone in my First Release-lessness.

You need to be patient with e-bay. I watched many, many auctions for first release before getting mine. I got the re-released version for about 35 and the original red cover version for about 40.

i'm sure some of the older board members are tired of this story, but it tickles me to death... i got my first release from columbia house, the same time ABNG was taking off...in a buy-one-get-three free sale! i got SSCW, HMU, Jed, and FR for i guess around $30 altogether.

sometimes i think that, if i knew then what i know now, that i should have bought as many FR's as i could get my hands on, because look what you can get for them now. but i don't think i would ever do that. it's so metal blade.

I didn't know that this cd is so expensive on american ebay...
So there's at least ONE positive thing about the fact that they are so unknown in germany... you get the cd's a lot cheaper here :)

Wow, slave girl, you're LUCKY! I'm so jealous! OK, so this is a stupid question that I should know, but what's the difference between the red one and the white one. Which one is re-released?

Title: Re: Where did everyone get First Release?
Post by THE sLaVe GiRl on May 1^st, 2005, 9:11pm

i think the white one is the re-release. i know that's what i have, and mine's white.

;D
