As he prepares for the final Guided By Voices tour, frontman Robert Pollard seems to be doing some housecleaning. Currently open for bidding on Web-auction site eBay are nine rare, autographed GBV/Pollard solo releases listed as “from Bob Pollard’s personal collection.”
The lots range from autographed vinyl copies of Guided By Voices albums “Mag Earwhig!” (Matador) and “Isolation Drills” (TVT) to the rarer vinyl collection “Earful O’ Wax” and the out-of-print bootleg “King’s Ransom.” The most expensive item listed is an original vinyl copy of Guided By Voices’ breakthrough album “Propeller,” with hand-glued cover art created by Pollard — asking price starts at $1,000.
As previously reported, GBV plans to break up following a New Year’s Eve concert at Chicago’s Metro. The band’s final album, “Half-Smiles of the Decomposed,” was on August 24th via Matador.
