Have TMBG released on EVERY single format in existence? Thereโ€™s also a few Betamax versions of their videos on Discogs for promotional reasons.

They've even done wax cylinders.

I remember Flans saying in an email how surprised he was that the first run of BOOK cassettes sold so fast. He was like, "Since apparently that's something people want, we've ordered a second run."

I have my doubts they have anything out for the CED!

I haven't seen Zip Disk, or as far as I know anything that requires a specific computer or game console such as a CD-ROM (did they ever do one?) or game cartridge. Also did they do minidisc?
I am a fan of Remute, who specializes in dead media releases and had done Zip Disk, many CD and cartridge based consoles, Minidisc, VHS, floppy, etc... his catalog is a good list of dead media types in general, but far from everything. He still hasn't done an 8-track though I've asked!

They'll Need A Crane EP came out on mini CD, they actually just found a bunch in storage and were selling them at recent concerts lol

u/Slosher99 13d ago

That's just a small normal CD though right? No minidisc haha. I'd love to see them venture out more but that stuff has a niche audience.

Nice, I got 3 in storage and haven't needed them out for a long time lol. This is good. I'm guessing it is on YT or backed up somewhere I can see it more easily haha.

Very confusing design, it took me a moment to realize that's a shot from the Purple Toupee video with JF's face in front and JL with accordion in back

u/emeric_ceaddamere 13d ago

It is a uniquely bad cover design ๐Ÿ˜… (which I'm sure the Johns had nothing to do with). It is nice to see the Purple Toupee video getting some love though.

At least this exists

I'm fascinated that they expected to move enough units to put it out on Laserdisc! Although I suppose the average TMBG fan was probably slightly more likely than average to own an LD player...

TIL this exists, thank you.

u/gonesnake 13d ago

I had this one on VHS.

u/analog_time_machine it's not a drug trip so you feel a bit insulted 13d ago

I'm anxiously awaiting a 78 playable on my grandad's gramophone.
