Question about Pearl Jam vinyl

Eisi

Ok so i searched the forums and couldn't actually find a good answer to this question so here goes.

I collect LP's, specially from my favorite artists. Doesn't matter if they're rare or not, i just buy the wax i want. I don't bother with first pressings and i don't care if it´s re-released or imported or whatever.

So far i got Ten, Vs., Vitalogy, No Code, Yield, Riot Act, Pearl Jam, Lost Dogs and Into the wild from the mouth watering, ever surprising Pearl Jam catalogue.

So here comes the question....

Why is it that Binaural goes for an insane amount of money?

Were there fewer copies made of Binaural than for example Vitalogy or No Code?

I only need Binaural to complete my collection of studio albums from PJ but the going rate of that record is just out of this world.

Any ideas as to why this is?

Hey there to a fellow vinyl collector! I am like you - I just want the albums I want. I don't obsess with first pressings and whatnot.

Good question about the Binaural-LP. I have no idea in the world why that one is so hard to find. The Live On Two Legs-LP is as hard to find as the Binaural one. Go figure. I was lucky enough to find them both a couple years ago; one on eBay for $45 and the other in a record store for $40. Both were still sealed.

You still need to add Binaural, LOTL, RVM, & Benaroya Hall to your PJ vinyl collection.

Edit: and how terrific does Into The Wild sound on vinyl???? Holy shit - so much warmer and fuller sounding than the CD!!! I love it!

There were fewer pressed for Binaural than anything previous, except maybe LO2L. I don't know about the albums that came after though. I would guess by the price that that is true though.

Well, if i decide to up and sell my car, my house and my soul then maybe i'll try for Benaroya......

But in truth, i´m only collecting the studio albums as of now witch are ten, vs, vitalogy, no code, yeild, Bi-ffffing-naural, riot act and Pearl Jam.

Maybe someday i´ll go for Lo2l, RVM and Benaroya

But your right. Into the wild sounds like heaven on the turntable
