eman Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 Tumbleweed vinyl EP sells for $100 on Ebay. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/330950809086?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649 This surprised me. No less because I've had one in the same condition stashed away and forgotten about since it's release. It's only got 3 tracks. Have Tumblweed became legends or something ?
hyper Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 Gosh that's a blast from the past I remember playing with them at the landsdown hotel in early nineties when I was still in school
caddisgeek Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 Possibly, it wouldn't hurt that old farts like me who were into that stuff back in the day are now fast approaching, or well into their 40's. Lots of dudes in that age group are desperately trying to recapture their youth and have plenty of disposable cash (not me though) 1
Luc Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 , it wouldn't hurt that old farts like me who were into that stuff back in the day are now fast approaching, or well into their 40's. aww, ya poor old bugger...fast approaching 40 eh? or even in it!!! Like wow!!! Now that is old then.

eman Posted July 16, 2013 Author Posted July 16, 2013 They are in Wollongong :-) I know they were from there. Are they still there as a band ? Not possible surely ! Possibly, it wouldn't hurt that old farts like me who were into that stuff back in the day are now fast approaching, or well into their 40's. Lots of dudes in that age group are desperately trying to recapture their youth and have plenty of disposable cash (not me though) I'm well into my 40s and don't have much disposable now either. Was really into these guys early stuff along with DIG (Directions In Groove) and The Porkers at the same time.
Ace_Beef Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 I dont even want to think about all the great Australian bands who played on recovery etc whose vinyl would be worth some decent money now....
caddisgeek Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 I just remembered I recently saw the spiral bound Weed Seed cd ep in Dixons for about $50, and their prices are usually spot on what is it with old Tumbleweed fans and spotty memories?
eman Posted July 16, 2013 Author Posted July 16, 2013 ^ old 'weed ? I don't remember the spiral bound but I still have the S/T US Import compilation album and the paper/card sleeve CD single Acid Rain / Funky.
eman Posted July 16, 2013 Author Posted July 16, 2013 ^ That Proton Energy Pills EP must be worth even more. Come to think of it I had a Tumbleweed disc I can't find now. It had Bill Cosby type little kid voices between the tracks along the lines of: "Let's form a band"......."We need a gimmick"..............."If we all had long hair that would be a gimmick"........ My collection is quite small so if it's here I should be able to find it. IF it's here.......... Does anyone know what sort of packaging I should be looking for or what it's called ? 1
AFCAD Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 G'day Ean, I too have a nice copy of the Tumbleweed EP bought back in the day - the ebay price surprised me but a check on popsike indicates that the $100 is not a once off but is a bit more than what they appear to usually sell for (seems to be an easy $70-$80 thing). I've also got the spiral bound Weed Seed CD - had no idea that was worth a bit. I haven't listened to them for a few years, must drag them out! Haven't got the one you are talking about.... Cheers, Richard
jimsan Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 This brings back teenage memories! Saw them a number of times at all ages shows at EV's in croydon. I've got Weedseed, Sundial EP and a daddy long legs cassette stashed away somewhere!! Probably some other stuff too..
eman Posted July 17, 2013 Author Posted July 17, 2013 (edited) G'Day Richard. I see now the US Import I have is also called 'Weedseed' on 'Seed Records'. It is the same as the Oz Weedseed with the addition of Shakedown and Rainbow Waterwillow. The cassette of it with embossed 'Warners' logo is on ebay for $40. Nice smooth sound with no harshness and when I ripped it into the PC the numbers show lots of 'headroom'. Edited July 17, 2013 by E.Man

I know the one you're talking about (I dont have it, but a mate did), are you sure that's Tumbleweed? I reckon it might be the Meanies
