www.secretlystore.com/live-at-wobc-songs-ohiawww.pledgemusic.com/projects/songs-ohia-wobc-1994-sessionsRiding With the Ghost- Jason Molina biography due out in a couple of months. There's an interesting pre order package of the book and an lp from his first radio broadcast in 1994. The packages can be ordered from Sectretly Canadian or there's a pledge page , European Bundle which works out much cheaper for us in NZ, about NZ$102 . Since the book is around $60 pre order on Book Depository the bundle price isn't too outrageous.

Well, after waiting months for this....... Finally got round to playing the lp, major disappointment sound quality, especially the vocals. I'm far from an expert but it sounds very much like the mike is overloading, very distorted. Played two tracks, checked the download(mp3), it's just as bad. Not even worth putting on my Fiio. This release may have some historical value but as something that bears repeat playing, forget it. If you missed out on this release, even if you count yourself a big fan, I wouldn't make an effort to track down a copy and certainly not at the prices that are likely to be asked. I'm afraid my copy will be filed away and forgotten.

Thanks for taking the hit.
Let us know if the bio is worth getting.

The book is in a long to be read list but near the top. Could probably recover my costs quite easily by selling the lp on ebay which may be an option at some stage.

Did you get the fancy coloured vinyl? See it's sold out. I'm not tempted after the poor quality of Riding with The Ghost. I await with interest how you find this new one.

Yes, I'm a sucker for coloured vinyl.

forgot about this release but just picked up a copy from a seller on Amazon Uk. Probably just black vinyl release but I can live with that.
