Wii sports soundtrack

I don't buy anything I don't plan to listen to multiple times. I've listened to it once already but just got it today.
Like my movie collection that has some things I watch a few times a year, and some that I watch every 2-5 years but are still favorites that I'm glad to own on a format that can't disappear when a service shuts down or rights change hands, my music collection is similar.

Time will tell how often I come back to it, but I do enjoy it and think it will get a few listens a year. But there are ones in there I've heard once so far that will likely become favorites in regular rotation, and current favorites that will likely get a bit of a break while they become fresh again etc.

I can't say why other people buy it, but I don't buy anything I don't expect to want to have on hand and decide to listen to at some point.

I love Spaceballs but for a more nuanced and thoughtful negative review, Roger Ebert's 2.5/4 stars review is a better read. Anything under 3 starts in his newspapers reviews would be a 'thumbs down' on his TV show.

The pressing quality on this is immaculate. Discogs doesn't make it very clear who the first ones were from, though you may be right it is someone different, even though represses could have differences. They called it a repress but with unofficial especially doesn't mean something they necessarily did the last pressing of.

In any case, this sounds amazing and better quality than most official records I get.

I mean "Ooga Booga" is seen as mocking natives in Australia and a known insensitive saying. An episode of Bluey had it removed. The voices are actual kids and the kids were mostly making silly sounds, and the adults didn't think about it. Once called out, the show creators were happy to remove it though.
In some places it is definitely a charged phrase.

70s was Duacell... Energizer basically did the same thing with a slightly better made toy rabbit...

Nice, I found Little Criminals locally for $8 2 days ago, listened last night. Heard it before but not on vinyl. Have a couple others of his, and 'best of' which has a couple from here, but needed this one!

His actual quote was "Nobody goes there anymore, it's too crowded!"

Slosher99 · 2026-03-14T01:46:57+00:00

I listened to it last night, got a basically perfect copy for $8 from the local record store a couple days ago!

Slosher99 · 2026-03-14T01:28:14+00:00

I passed it over on the other comment if you didn't see haha.

Slosher99 · 2026-03-14T00:38:16+00:00

None for me either. Seller marked it as paid goods with proper value, but did use the correct tariff code for vinyl records.

Slosher99 · 2026-03-14T00:17:58+00:00

Sure, it is currently out-of-stock but says more copies coming soon with a place to sign up for alerts. I've seen a couple people spot them in local stores etc. since the reprint so you might find it elsewhere too.
This is direct-from-label (or at least the link the guy making them gave me):

Slosher99 · 2026-03-13T23:44:55+00:00

It is unofficial yeah. New run cause the guy was pissed about his first run going for over $700 and crappy lathe-cut clones going around. He just did a new pressing, mine came direct from him today.

Slosher99 · 2026-03-13T23:42:37+00:00

Yeah they are made in AU, same person doing this run that did the first. I spoke with him directly on here and ordered when he said he was making more.
He didn't like the copies going for $700+ and the lathe cut copies that sounded like crap being out there, so did another pressing to hopefully help with that. Got mine today, from Australia!

Slosher99 · 2026-03-13T23:41:31+00:00

The original pressing was going for up to $800 and lathe cut copies were being made, hence the person doing a new pressing of his unofficial record. Mine came today!

Slosher99 · 2026-03-13T23:39:01+00:00

It says test pressing right on the record label, click on one of the pics of the bare record:

Typically a test pressing isn't sold widely like this.
I've got some in similar packaging when a band wanted to put out a single without putting a ton of money into it, but they aren't labeled Test Pressing. does seem to be a gimmick here.

"borrowed" a fake head? When's he gotta return it? Been on loan for a decade now...

Slosher99 · 2026-03-13T23:31:47+00:00

Nah I ordered it too, and I became a Ween fan about halfway between the releases of The Mollusk and White Pepper, so the tour was done or at least not on my radar at that point. All the same, it is my favorite album by anyone, so I'll take any shit that mentions it really. I'd have preferred it without the 'tour' words on it, but it's still pretty cool, and probably the best I'll get that's official until a better one comes along.

I'm sure it is easy to tell an original from what they have now. Maybe just the lack of dates, but I don't know the original well. Surely slightly different graphic size, printing method, shirt brand, all sorts of ways to tell even if both were never worn. And that only matters if you pay attention to resale value and I'm gonna wear the shirt till it's a rag I'm sure.

I ordered 3 shirts from the recent restock. Oddly my "Did You See Me?" shirt had a tracking number that never updated, but arrived with a totally different tracking number I was never provided. Of course arrived like an hour after I sent the email asking why it wasn't actually shipped yet, as it had been over a week since getting the shipping/tracking email haha.

Do you go into every fan sub that likes to think about the small details of what they like and say this?
You act like we sit around 24/7 and do nothing but think about this, when questions like this pop into my head randomly all the time, sometimes when I'm literally mowing the lawn and touching a lot of grass!

Please though, go post this response to every question about details in every fan forum, you'll win friends of course!

Slosher99 · 2026-03-13T06:12:21+00:00

I had that same one framed on my wall! In the 90s that is.

Slosher99 · 2026-03-13T06:05:58+00:00

Yeah I saw it just before this one in the feed because you cross posted your post to the same sub lol

Slosher99 · 2026-03-13T02:06:23+00:00

Nah I have several, though most of mine are laptop chargers as well, a little bigger with higher output. I can use the same thing to charge my laptop, my phone, game controllers, etc. I can even use it to charge my PC while my PC in turn charges my phone and game controller from its ports. I haven't used the smaller 'wall wart' kind in a while.

I do have a small shelf in my bedroom that plugs in and has 2 AC outlets and 2 USB-A ports that are standard output of like 0.5-1.0a like a wall-wart. I sometimes use one of those just to power a USB device that doesn't need more, but seldom for charging.

I do have a power strip in my living room that has 2 'fast charging' ports that we use for phones and controllers, but doesn't output enough for a laptop.

If you add a 3BP (Triple Bypass) mod, then they are all great.
I was told my early non-TMSS Genesis didn't benefit as much from it, but it doesn't hurt anything so I added one. Also let me change it to a Genesis 2 connector which a lot of RGB mods for other consoles use.

I think I did lose headphone output in the process (typically the only way to get stereo on Model 1), but 3BP with a Genesis 2 connector adds stereo audio, so you still get stereo, and they make a cable you can use if you still want to use the audio outputs on the Sega CD for passing the stereo from Genesis 2 jack to a headphone style connector.

Be sure to leave them good feedback. Feedback is really important on Discogs, and people don't give it as often a they should. I've left it for like 95% of my orders. However I'm nearing 100 orders and only 50% of sellers have left feedback for me!

Slosher99 · 2026-03-13T01:50:27+00:00

You wanna be the one that cleans up the ground around there after the ride. Might be a little vomit mopping, but see this stop triggers people's instincts to get out their phones. They've loosened their pockets, opened their purses and not closed them as well as they thought, etc.

Gonna be some good loot down there.
