Are Melvins' cd's expensive and hard to find where you live?

Just wondering. I've read that topic about someone wanting to buy Electroretard and it occured me none of their albums are sold out (I guess), which wouldn't justify such a hard time trying to track'em down.

I'm only talking cause of personal experience, though. Can't seem to find 10 songs for sale anywhere, and I was thinking it wouldn't take much to find it, now that it's been re-released with bonus track, et al.

I was actually shocked to see that the Virgin Megastore in my town stocked all the Atlantic AND Ipecac releases. We have no indie record stores here and so have to rely on either HMV or Virgin, and as you can probably imagine, they're not too fussed about keeping a full contingent of Melvins releases in stock. I've never seen any of the Boner releases in any major record shop, bar HMV Manchester which had the Dale Crover EP and Amphetamine Reptile don't seem to have UK distribution, which meant that I (well, not literally, I got them as presents) had to pay Import prices for Honky and Prick.

When I'm in Birmingham, a store named Tempest stocks most Melvins records but that's because they guy who runs the store is a big Melvins collector himself...

I recommend //www.amazon.com if you can't find what you're looking for. I know, I know, its n00b to shop there, but its beats having to pay import prices. Heck, you know what? Just search for Melvins cds there and then check out the used section. They actully ain't that bad, alot of them say the cd is still in plastic wrap for $7-$13 + shipping which ain't that bad if you think about the massive ammounts of record stores that don't stock the Melvins with stuff you actully want. Saves yourself a headache and time.

Singles is still available but only in the US, Stag's still available but only outside the US. Swings and roundabouts laddie! Also Electroretard's so common, it may as well still be in print.

Here in Switzerland i could get all melvins cd-releases in a normal record store (they had to purchase it, but nevertheless it was available) The only one I had Problems with was Lysol, but I got that one on ebay.

The Price was mixed (10-30SFr. ca. 8-24$ or 6.5-20
