In search of: Something's Wrong - Violent Femmes album
May 31, 2018 11:26 AM Subscribe
I'm looking for an album by Violent Femmes called "Something's Wrong" and I can't find it anywhere.
I'm not picky about format (i.e. digital or CD), but I haven't been able to find a copy anywhere online. Isn't the internet supposed to have ~*everything*~?
Things I've tried:
- eBay/Amazon
- Used record shops (Amoeba, Rasputin)
- general internet searches
Where can I find this album?
Thanks!

It was only released as MP3's so I doubt you'll be able to find any official physical version. This site says you can buy it for $3.23- I have no experience with this site to know if it's legit.

Discogs shows it was never released physically. So download is your only option.

The album was released only in MP3 format, by the online store eMusic.com.
If we're talking legally, I'm guessing it was a licensing deal and that might have already expired. A bootlegged physical version is very unlikely to exist, since it was released at a time MP3s were starting to take over, and would not be legal to begin with.
I'd contact eMusic or the band.
Illegally, found one source in seconds. and might be the only choice. Russian sites like the ones above often operate on a grey or black area and are virtually the same.

YouTube seems to have some tracks off of it.

You can't buy it legally anywhere so you might as well find an illicit copy rather than giving a sketchy site that doesn't actually pay the musicians money. If you want to balance supporting the band out karmically, buy someone that would appreciate it one of their other albums or toss a $5 or $10 into a talented street busker's collection plate.
