Longshot, but: are you in Canada and have a copy of a CD called "Great Northern" by the fusion jazz band Skywalk? I've been on the hunt for a physical copy, would love to buy it off you.

@misty assuming you've checked discogs?
Show threadMistyApr 23
@rocky1138 Yes, I’ve checked.

@rocky1138 @misty Not finding stuff on Discogs is so disheartening when it happens. It’s like… gee, is this even attainable? (Only seeing for sale at absurd prices also.. oof).
Show threadMistyApr 23
@torb @rocky1138 Haha. Skywalk are a local band and their last album only came out on a small local label, so it got way less distribution than their previous ones. Definitely one of those albums that's more likely to show up in local shops than online, I think. But I haven't found it yet.

@misty Not to encluragw like competition for thr CD… but do ypu recommend the music? Should I try to buy a digital copy?
Show threadMistyApr 23
@torb I like their stuff! I actually recommend their 80s stuff (which is on vinyl) more if you haven't heard any yet, though https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n56s2T8ahOA

@misty Hey that's pretty good :-)
If you haven't already, worth adding to a discogs wantlist and adding a saved search to EBay.
Show threadMistyApr 23
@RupertReynolds Oh yeah, eBay's a good call! I'd done Discogs already but not that.

@misty I can try to check when I'm next at a thrift store, though they tend to display CDs by their spines and it'd be a guess what that looks like
Show threadMistyApr 23
@giflian Oh thank you! Yeah, only photo I've seen is not super detailed and in a package with other stuff... suggests it's basically a generic orange with black text.

@misty no luck at the wildlife thrift store downtown

@misty Honest advice? Just message someone from the band. Graeme Coleman has had a long and illustrious career, I bet he has, or knows someone who has, a copy of the CD!

Do you already have an electronic copy?

Edit: I have an electronic copy if you would like a copy of that?
