Buying the singles

I heard there was a website that people here used to use to get the singles. Does anyone remember what it was? I've just recently made it my life mission to obtain them all, so it would help a lot!

good luck, you will definately need it. To add to my unhelpful post, I don't recall the website to which you are referring, sorry.

As far as I know, there isn't a website that sells OLP's singles. Unfortunately.

There's also a unique one called "Happiness... is not a fish that you can eat". :nod:

I never really saw the need to sell singles unless they have b-sides on them... which OLP do not

Actually most of the European released ones do. For instance the Innocent single has Imagine and live versions of Naveed and 4am on it. That's probably because in Europe, mainly the UK, it makes sense to release singles, because the charts are based on single sales. American singles only mean the tracks that the record companies push at radio stations.

there was someplace that sold some of OLP's Singles. I can try to find it again> I got all my singles off EBAY. Good luck obtaining all. I am missng 1. I have been collecting them the last 3-4 years.
actually I know Rick was selling alot of his OLP singles on Ebay. I don't know it he ended the auctions or not yet.

Yeah, I bought 4 off ebay, and 2 off amazon, and I'm the current high bidder of the Naveed single auction, which is almost over, so hopefully I'll get that. And I asked HMV to import the Innocent single for me, and I already have the Somewhere Out There single. Everyone that I've told says "but don't you have the songs on the cd already?" They just don't get it!

If you go to Sony in the USA they were selling SOT with BBTS(live) for $3.00. Hope and LIfe(australian) are up on Ebay. The Aussie Life has clumsy and car crash from the club tour that came with SM in the states as an extra live Cd single and IAH. a few of my singles I got from online places. Ilooked at one of them, but all they have it the live and unreleased. They were caring INNOCENT for awhile.
I understand because it has taken me years to get the cd singles. I just finally got Carnival last year. That is the rare one to find. I won it with 4 other OLP cd singles(which I had so I gave them to people)

good luck.

Oh man, you got Carnival? Damn you, I've wanted that one forever. Arrg.

You said you didn't have one single, Gail. Which one is it that you don't have?

I am one of the obsessed and never really saw the need to buy singles either.

Someday...

YES! cdexpress.com. Evan, that is the site I was talking about. Incidentally, I actually remembered it no problem the day after I talked to you before some one listed it here. Must've been insomnia getting to me or something the other night. Anyway, it's a... strange site, but they have some items. Try them, as I believe the folks on these boards have had positive experiences buying from that site.

Someday, I will have all of the singles... someday. I'm getting there... I'll have 7 more within the next few weeks. :mrgreen:

*hugs Ebay*

I thought you bought alot form George. I got Birdman from him. He told me he sold alot to you. I have an extra Supreman's Dead. It has 2 other songs with it if you need that.

ALAN.. I won't say which one I am missing because others may want it and I don't need to get into a bidding war with anyone. It shows up on Ebay every once in awhile, but people spend so much for a single. I remeber when I was getting In Repair it first sold for about $50.00(USA). I got that last year for about $10..

yeah I got Carnival last year. I got it as part of a 5 cd set. Sometimes you have to look at things like that. When people put up a bunch of cd's together. I just won 2 cd's off ebay. One olp an done chantal single I had been looking for for awhile.

Nikki!!! You outbid me on Naveed!!! Damn you!! I really wanted that one. lol, but anyways, I have bought a total of ten, but they're not all singles, some of them are promos. Now I just have to wait for them to arrive. All together I spent over $100, my wallet is thinning.

Naveed, IAH, Innocent, SOT, Starseed, SD are always showing up on Ebay. Speaking of EBAY items. My friend and i laugh with the Steve Mazur Yamaha poster. We said did this guy buy every issue of that magazine and is selling the ad. haha. I actually have a family member who works in a guitar center. I should ask them if there actually was a poster. ad for it.

What singels/promos did you get for $100.. I haven't figured out what I have spend. I also bought alot of things before more people got into OLP and jacked up prices. I am almost embarrased to admit this. I have now about 75 OLP cds between cd singles, cds, bottlegs, and promos. You don't realize how they add up as you are getting them. I also got an email form someone tellig me they will make copies of two OLP shows I had, but were stolen. I am happy about that cause one was my favorite show. The Vanderbelt(long island show from 2001 SM tour). I was at that show and to have it on Cd brings back memories plus I thought that was an awesome show. Strange thing is my friend and I saw Mike afterwards. We told him how much we loved the show and awesome it sounded to us. he told us, that it was not agoodnight for him. That he didn't play that well. We told him he sounded fine. he told us he was more of a perfectionist. Oh well. I guess if I was a musician I might feel the same.But just the same-He sounded good to me that night. I love that show. It was cool how they did Potatogirl straight into Thief. you can't really tell where one song ends and the other begins.

hey hi Sooz-you slipped in before me. I spoke to rick.Said he was selling off his stuff to pay off school and stuff. How much did it go for?
