Pavement - a collector's guide, yr help needed

[fatbhoi]

hi all, i've been a fan of the band for a couple of years, and now i'd like to look into their collectables. apart from slay tracks, what are the more collectable pavement releases?

All that shit's on the reissues, dude.

Beyond "Slay Tracks" there aren't too many heavy duty rarities. The Drag City 7"s ("Demolition Plot..." and "Summer Babe") and the 10" ("Perfect Sound Forever") are kinda rare but of course the music is widely available. I guess you don't see a lot of the Matador 7"s around or "Crooked Rain..." LPs with the 7", but I can't imagine they are too hard to track down. Other than that, if you want to geek out you've got a bit of work finding English and Australian 7"s and EPs.

I noticed a 1999 tour poster on ebay, I may have a go at that, it looks nice!
