AboutMatt Maguire Expertise I am new to allexperts, but have plenty of knowledge and experience in the realm of Sublime. Guarantee: you will receive an answer within 2 days of posting the question -- I have no feedback so far and would like to build some.
I can answer most questions about the band, the significance of the lyrics, the show dates,
the unreleased albums and tracks, misinformation, and, above all, I am an expert on their
influences and related music.
Experience I have been a huge fan for 14 years, I ran a server which distributed Sublime's live and unreleased music 24/7 for 4 years, I have answered questions about the band daily for years on their old website, and I know some of the largest collectors in the world. I created the 5 CD bootleg "Rewind Selector" which documents the influences of Sublime and was the topic of a Spin Magazine interview.
Education/Credentials I did not study music in college, but I majored in English, so I can write a clear response. I worked as a research assistant in the past, so I have skills in research if I need to figure out an answer.
Past/Present Clients Sublime fans aren't my clients, but I have distributed swag and rare tracks to all those who want them for years at no cost.

Question Hey Matt, I noticed you mentioned a "badfish poster" by Opie in your response concerning Almera's Doin Time promo poster. Where can I find one of those, and what is it - a lithograph? Also, on the Almera site it said the Doin Time promo was a print of 75, not 750 as the last poster mentioned - is this a new printing for sale on the Almera site, or did someone have a typo? Thanks - Matt
Answer Matt --
I think Almera has a new set to make a little more money. I have seen copies of it before as a set of 750, never 75. Perhaps it's a typo on the website. If it were 75, you'd think it would have sold out after 7+ years.
The Badfish poster is one of the few poster promotional items by Sublime that is really worth something. Rarely will you see one on eBay and then it goes for big bucks. GMan has a copy that he might sell for $400, but otherwise, you're out of luck for the original. The poster looks like the cover of the Badfish EP 4-track, but it's full poster size and shape. Email me or IM me and I can give you more info or a picture of it.
