Viking - Man of Straw

I have been looking for a CD Copy of this anyone have one for sale or trade?

What does everyone think of this release?

One of my favorite thrash albums of all time. The Lost & Found reissue is pretty awesome, but now it's out of print so it may be tough finding a copy.

A great thrash album. If you listened to their debut, Do Or Die, and this one back to back without knowing who it was, you would swear it was a completely different band on each. They grew leaps and bounds between the two albums.

I have a cdr of it and it's a great album.

Man of straw is way technical thrash and leaps and bounds above Do or die IMO. Do or die was fast and energized, but this record had loads of amazing musicality present.

Uncle Sax has a 06 reissue he may be willing to part with if you ask...

I like it.

How wealthy are ya Bill?

Thanks for the feedback!

Not sure what they are worth, I just started my quest

What do they go for on eBay these days?

Reissue cheaper then original?

All I can seem to find on eBay is the tape (about $10) and the vinyl (about $15)

Cant find the CD ?

The research I did for stender a couple weeks ago showed that the gap between the original and the re-issue has closed substantially in the last years. I sold both of my originals but have a still sealed re-issue. The cheapest one I found, if I remember right was $54 for the re-issue [Chris?] and I sold my 1P for $75 [immediately!]. Still waiting for the check, so it might be available again soon....
































just kiddin Greg.

Yeah, I think you told me you got it for like 60.

Why did you sell both?!?! The cheapest (original) I saw was a buy-it-now on ebay for $30 ... but the reissue should be cheaper I suppose?! After all it was released a couple of years ago ...

I got screwed 2 times getting the original, the first time the guy never sent anything to (While I sent 7 CDs to him), the second time one guy contacted me after he saw my want list, and in the end I got a vinyl copy

I have the re-issue.Its a great Album.I agree the band really grew between the two releases.

Nothing is "off limits".

Not even your Saxon collection? How about that Disturbed vinyl?

It sure is a great album. I have a reissue.

I have 2 copies of the Disturbed vinyl - one new and one crappy. And the original "Miracles" cassette.

As far as the Saxon stuff, I'll sell anything right now. Might want to act quickly, before the mood passes and I come back to my senses!

A second job? You must be unaware of my current employment situation...

Picked this up on VINYL years ago from the music warehouse where I worked along with several others,new,for a dollar each The only good part about being an unwilling member of the conspiracy to remove vinyl from retail stores,and it was a planned action,we were told by the powers that be to stop sending it.Really wish I had bought more,obviously could be making a bit of money now .Just bought what I really wanted and knew about.....

Kewl story.... had a good friend who worked at the Tower Records Warehouse here in Sacramento and has a similar tale.

I saw half of a Viking show one week-end in the San Fernan valley someplace way back when and got caught up in other stuff, never got a chance to scope them out again. My loss.
