Chances are , someone is already hosting this on some MP3 blog(s) out there, or for that matter on any number of run amok file sharing apps. Not only that, I'll even go a step further and bet there's a more listenable version of this 4-song ep floating around, as admittedly, my personal copy lends itself to some slight vinyl noise, including a pesky "pop" or two.
Essentially, I didn't realize I even had this in my collection until a few weeks ago, when I was rummaging through some records for my Singles Going Single series. I suppose this is my way of celebrating this find. Released on Omnibus Records in 1998, this vinyl-only ep was presumably limited to a 1000 copies or so in it's initial pressing. It was reissued several years later, but even that batch of wax has flown off of record store shelves and Ebay by now. It's a secret too good to keep to myself, so enjoy.

would it be possible for me to purchase your copy of the Nature Bears a Vacuum EP? i would be willing to pay ridiculous amounts of money to get my hands on a copy - it is by far my favourite Shins record.
if you're interested, you can get in touch with me at naturebearsavacuum@hotmail.com (funnily enough..)
thanks,
aaron
