If you want to chat about the band or have live or rare Spent Poets recordings drop me an email (address at bottom of page). I'm looking for any live recordings, as well as the following tracks (and any others not documented on these pages): The Absolute Core of Happiness, Mrs. Paglia, Drink The Thermos of Blood 666, and Picture Book (Kinks cover). If you are missing some of the unreleased recordings documented here, feel free to send me a request for it.

Extra special thanks to Derek Greenberg for the gracious permission to rehost the recoverable portions of The Spent Poets Recording Diary, and to Matt Winegar for helping restore some missing days.
