i never really liked them, they got huge in 95 and one of their members died... i think that's why the singer went crazy and started the polyphonic spree... is this record actually rare?

Yeah, I saw that dude who put it on half.com. I think it's rare, but not THAT rare. I think he just put it up there b/c the Polyphonic Spree came out with a new album last week. That's what inspired me to try and buy this CD. I had it in my grubby hand at Virgin in 2000 when it was new, but went with Sean Lennon instead. I like that CD, but I can still buy it on amazon or something.
They had one really big "hit" with "I Got A Girl", but with decent success in other regions prior to that, with their first album, "Bill". The guitarist died before this last album came out and when you look at the album and cover booklet, etc., it seems very independently produced. Mainly seems to be getting a bit of closure for the guys that lost their friend.
The singer isn't crazy. Well, any more crazy than he ever was. He's just eccentric.

Wasn't "pirahnas" a hit for them? I didn't realize their singer started polyphonic spree but it doesn't surprise me (because of the voice).

Yes, yes it was. Although the word "hit" is probably pushing it. It got air time. Probably around '93-'94.

I'm oldskool, so anything that was on the radio is a hit to me.

"One day I was walking down a long narrow path in the jungle
With nothing on my feet
Each step felt like mud though the ground was made of dirt
But it was purple dirt
It was like looking at the ground and seeing it brown
Well, picture it purple
Each step I took left a green footprint
The trees were yellow, as a matter of fact
Everything that was usually green was now yellow
Bright yellow
And then everything I bump into or touch would turn green with clouds
The sky was orange with blackbirds flying around
And in the distance I could see this mountain coming up
And it seemed like the closer I got the worse the smell became
After a quick sprint I was there, and I touched this mountain
And realized it was a big piece of shit
My first thought was "Paul Bunyon!"
But reality slapped me around and I knew it was the
Jolly White Giant taking a squat on the jungle floor, dumbass
Well, I preceded down my little path not knowing what I would find
And not really prepared to encounter anything
Being since I had no clothes on and no bags of tricks
But that didn't slow me down, I kept marching on
And what did I see but the most beautiful girl I had ever seen
Everything was properly placed, however, there was only one drawback
She was pink
I thought, would that be a good match, pink and gold?
You see, I was gold
Well, we touched, and looked, and smiled
Because we did match, or didn't
You see, love can be any color it wants to be
So now I had a friend to walk the rest of the journey with
And her name was Pink Jelly
Pink Jelly was real cool, she could hold her breath and change colors
Sometimes she was known as Psycho Jelly or Psychadelic Color Chick
Anyway, that was one of her many talents
It was nice having Pink Jelly along for the ride
Although we would rarely talk, we would spit color on each other
And stare at what we spit
There was this one time when Pink Jelly was getting kind of cold
So I spit some red on her and warmed her up
You know, that made me feel real good inside
Knowing that I helped Pink Jelly stay warm
I had the biggest golden smile for the rest of the day
As we continued to walk down the wonderful, purple path
Holding hands"

Polyphonic Spree's "Solider Girl" may be the perfect pop single. God, I love that band.
Good luck with your search, dude. I'd try giving some of the Pennylanehttp://www.pennylane.com stores a call - they've got a decent selection of used CDs.
If you find it at one, drop me a PM. I can probably pick it up for you, assuming it's at one of the locations near me. I think they may do mail order as well.

I'll give them a call after I scour locally some more. Probably need to try up in Denton as well (their "birthplace").
Glad you like the new band. You should try some of the old stuff too. Different than PS, but so great!

"Swimming all around in confusion
It takes me for a ride
Hearing the bells that are ringing
I think I'll run and hide
It's crazy what you seem to do
Every now and then

Well in mocking you and mocking me
Dealing with mentality I'm blown away
