The Live at the Village Vanguard set had been available on a budget label for a while, too. I bought it once, thinking it was something different, but it turned out to be the same as the Mosaic.
I've had a copy of "Between Heaven & Hell" for years. Always thought it was a super-cool album. Don't know why it's not on CD - except for a few alternate cuts that show up as "unreleased bonuses" on the "Sin & Soul ... and then some" CD.
Well..........RIP, OB.
I believe (if AMG is correct) that Kath lived long enough to have made contributions through "XI". I had no idea that he made it that far, actually. My memory is getting foggy, I guess.
That Spoon album - "Gimme Fiction" - is really growing on me. I definitely recommend checking it out.
You can watch them perform several songs on KCRW's Morning Becomes Eclectic show.
Haven't seen them recently, but they are playing Saturday night at the Great American Music Hall here in SF.
Here's the info for anyone in the neighborhood:
