Lost and Found

Special Potato SP-27 CD, released 2009 (U.S.)

Paper & Plastick PP0030 LP (U.S.)

Ska in the World SIWI-138 CD/LP (Japan)

Whatevski DIP004 Digital Album (U.S.)

This release made me happy. It was a collection of random material that The Slackers recorded over the years that had, to this point, never seen the light of day. There are some really excellent recordings on here. The vinyl came out on three different colors: the standard black, a yellow/black split, and a greenish "mustard mix" vinyl. The mustard mix was limited to 100 and supposedly only available through Interpunk, but I got it later from Paper & Plastick. I'm not positive the color of this version was what they were going for. If you look closely, it is actually two different colors, split down the middle, but the colors ended up being very similar...kind of a greenish brown mess.

As far as I know, the yellow/black split was only available directly from Paper & Plastick or from the band. It's a tough find - took me over a year back around when it came out. Black vinyl copies are more common than the others, but all are really tough to find. The Japanese LP was the standard U.S. black vinyl with a "Ska in the World" sticker added to the outer packaging. NOW...be forewarned: the vinyl did not contain as many tracks as any of the other versions. In fact, it had substantially fewer (12). The digital release contained a bonus track.

The Great Rocksteady Swindle

Hellcat 80515-1 LP / 80515-2 CD, released 2010 (U.S.)

Hellcat 0515-2 CD (Europe)

Ska in the World SIWI-134 LP / SIWI-131 CD (Japan)

Whatevski DIP009 Digital "Album and Fun Pack", released 2010 (U.S.)

This Slackers album saw them go back to Hellcat. The vinyl came in red and black varieties. The red one was only available through Kings Road Merch. The black one went to everyone else. As with Lost and Found, the Japanese LP was just the U.S. one with a Ska in the World sticker on it. It is mainly more valuable because 1) it was in Japan and 2) the retail price was so much higher. The digital release contained a whole extra set of tracks (25 live tracks plus an interview).
