Seaweed were a band that I got into way too late. Honestly, during the 90's I don't think that I ever came across their name. My view on music did not extend that far, so I never even had the chance to check them out at the time. I took me until 2014, when I finally paid attention to something Marcus said about them, and decided to check them out. Since then I've been in love with that band, and slowly building a collection. I'm desperate for a green colored vinyl of Spanaway, and for a while I thought that was the last full album I needed on vinyl from them... but then a few years ago I realized that there was a 6 song 12 inch that I needed as well.
I had assumed that the Despised 12 inch would be very easy to pick up. There weren't any limited colored vinyl pressings for me to have to chase... just the simple black vinyl pressing, and I figured that I could grab one without much effort. However, when I started to look for one, the only available copies that I could find were from sellers overseas. I did not expect that... and after waiting years for one to show up on Discogs from a US seller, I just finally committed to those overseas shipping costs and bought one when I was buying some other 90's records from someone.
Feels good to finally have this Seaweed record on the shelf. Now if someone would just sell me that Spanaway on green...
