This week, there really aren't any interesting CDs advertised at the "big box" stores but there are a few indie releases that might be worth hunting down.

Prince - Planet Earth
With 2.9MM copies of the CD distributed free this past Sunday with the UK paper The Mail, copies will be turning up on eBay dirt-cheap. Wait a week or so and watch the price drop.

Meat Puppets - Rise To Your Knees
The Kirkwood brothers reunite after 11 years and the early reviews are great. This is on the indie label Anodyne Records

Sunn O))) - Oracle
The band had the eBayers going crazy by selling a tour-only CD of Oracle on their recent West Coast tour. Now on the Southern Lord site, the band is selling a limited edition (nach) LP of Oracle (see below).

The initially pressing of "Oracle" is 7,777 copies (2,000 on clear).

First 1000 orders of clear vinyl will also receive a Oracle poster with their album. Both versions are available via mailorder. As stated above all mailorder customers will receive a free "Oracle" cd (with rare misprinted cover!) with each order. Limit of 1 order of each color per customer. $17.77

(MAILORDER CUSTOMERS WILL RECEIVE A FREE SINGLE CD VERSION OF THE ALBUM!)
