Hi all
So how the heck can I get the Oddballs album? I don't thinks it's available to buy anywhere. I've never downloaded music before, but is that an option?
Jeez I just wanna hear Man of Steel again!
Merci tous :) |

Man of Steel is on the X-Files "Songs in the Key of X".
The last time I saw Oddballs for sale was on some little record
store's website.
Let me search...maybe Amazon.com marketplace, for lots of $$$. |

I was wondering if there's actually a chance of some sort of re-release...
frank just released the 2nd pressings of "abbabubba" through his own record label. they sold it also through amazon.de which made me quite happy, because it's a lot easier for me to purchase it there, instead of importing from america. I'd love to see this happening with Oddballs as well...
frank, if you read this: do what I say ;)
(also with the catholics box set) |

Somebody's got themselves a bargain. Post and packaging $20?
If a webstore someplace sold this I'd be more than happy to pay £10.99. |

I still kick myself for not picking it up at one of his shows in 2001 for $10. I figured a download from eMusic.com from way back then was good enough at the time. Listening to it today on headphones and the quality is really not that good. Kick...kick...kick

What's the point of a digital copy? The best thing of Oddballs is the artwork...

The liner notes alone are a reason to get this.
"Most of these songs were released in Europe as either B-sides or bonus tracks except 'Jumping Beans,' which was never released, and 'Man of Steel' which was originally released on a compilation record called SONGS IN THE KEY OF X. All the recordings were done between 1994 and 1997 in Los Angeles and New York City.
I got together with Dave Schiffman in Los Angeles in 1997 to review B-sides and outtakes, some to be re-mixed for this compilation, and so this is not a completist collection, just some songs that I liked. I left plenty of songs out, and some I'm even tempted to re-record, but that's another session, and so here they are, some re-mixed oddballs.
01 - Pray A Little Faster (trying to be Dylan)
02 - Oddball (trying to be Stones)
03 - Village of the Sun (trying to be Springsteen and Dylan)
04 - Baby, That's Art (trying to be Bowie)
05 - At the End of the World (trying to be Bowie)
06 - Can I Get a Witness (trying to be Dylan)
07 - Announcement (trying to be Daltrey)
08 - Hate Me (trying to be Strummer)
09 - Remake/Remodel (trying to be Sahm)
10 - Everybody Got the Beat (trying to be Strummer)
11 - Jumping Beans (trying to be Lou)
12 - Just a Little (trying to be me)
13 - You Never Heard About Me (trying to be Strummer)
14 - Man of Steel (trying to be me)
Frank Black Los Angeles, April 2000
Played by Lyle Workman, David McCaffrey, Scott Boutier, Eric Feldman, Nick Vincent and Frank Black."

Is anyone looking for a lossless copy?
If not, then why bother?
Is it possible to buy a digital copy of Oddballs online?
If it is, even if it's lossy, then posting a lossless copy isn't right, in my opinion.
If it isn't, then I'm not sure. It's always possible that they plan to re-release this one day.

well someone was looking for a copy, and it's always better to have a lossless copy than a lossy one.
as far as i'm aware, there is nowhere to buy a digital copy of oddballs anywhere, and thats the entire point of this thread.
as for a re-release - who knows, but a link can easily be removed at such a time.

All right.
I'm not sure if the original poster will be helped with a lossless copy though. Note the "I've never downloaded music before" remark.

| I've been looking for Oddballs for awhile now, so a MP3 or FLAC upload would be much appreciated, thanks! |

that is excessive!
here is oddballs in flac format for those who want it:

i find paying $40 for a 2nd hand copy of this record far more insulting than downloading a free lossless version.
i dare say some others will not agree.

I hope you are joking Denis - Oddballs is one of my fave FB cuts. Love that period of Frank. Village of the sun \ Can i get a witness \ Announcement \ Man of Steel.
Crazy to think these were B sides. In another artists repertoire they would be album tracks.
Oh and everybodys fave producer was involved to. Mr Jon Tiven. Bye!!
