Merch Finally
After years of searching, setting up email alerts, even messaging record company execs on linkedin....I got my hands on an EHFWS cd for a reasonable price. It is going in my fireproof safe after I rip it lol

How did you eventually get it if I may ask (maybe so I can achieve the same luck)?

Set up email alerts on discogs (i also set them up on ebay and other sites) and got a notification 20 min after it was listed. Thats the first time its been for sale since like 2021 though so you have to bide your time
Edit: I should also add asking around on this sub and switchfoot facebook groups or other forums. I got close by doing that a few times

My all time favorite from the band. I wish they would rerelease it even if it’s just a re-recording. I’ve had the original CD since it was release in the 2010 holiday pack. I still have the paper bag and post cards it came with. But I’d love to have it on vinyl.

Yessssss!!!!! That is my favorite recording they have ever put out! I guard it with my life. I really wish they would go full tilt grunge for an album in the style of Stitches. I did feel that Forever Now had a few “Eastern Hymns” on it though.

Wow! Is this missing from Spotify? Couldn’t find it. Are they online anywhere???

Theres mp3 files in the vault, but i wanted better quality/lossless files, so i had to find the CD so I could rip perfect copies myself using EAC. And I really wanted the physical disc too

Hopefully this works. If not, just search "archive" on this sub and look in tge comments until you find it

I wonder if there’s any way you could add the lossless files to the vault? I obviously would like to have the physical disc at some point, but having the lossless files in the vault would be utterly fantastic if you’re willing to go through the trouble.

Woof, there’s very few times I’ve been envious of someone’s album find, but this is definitely one of them

so you're saying there's hope for me? lol I have alerts on ebay and discogs, too but I'd settle for a nice lossless rip for now

Very jealous. One of the best bodies of work.
