    sweet piece of wax. Sounds great too. Makes doing the laundry a lot more exciting. Sends me right back to whenever. Thank god for music. Escspe is never the safest plan but do it anyway.

    Has anyone seen the price of the Master of Puppets box set lately?  $800 for an open one?  I should sell mine, holy cow!

    So one of my record store guys who knows my taste texted me earlier to say that he just bought a collection that had some sealed early 90s records. I ran over and he had four OG sealed Pearl Jam records. I have been wanting this one since I keep hearing that it sounds so much better than the reissue. I think I am going to crack this one open and play it. He also had No Code which I was considering but I already have the black reissue and the clear. I don’t need 3. He also had Ten and Vitalogy sealed as well. I am fine with the reissues of those so I only got Vs. If any of you want me to run back and get one of the others for you, let me know:

    Ten- $300
    No Code - $120
    Vitalogy - $100

    I have to laugh at the original $7.99 price sticker on this Vs album.

    Edit - Ended up getting Ten and No Code for myself. Vitalogy is still there.

    You're definitely going to enjoy an OG Vs. Big difference.  I'm sure Ten is similar, although I'm not willing to spend 3 bills on it.  I have too many copies that I never listen to.  Awesome offer and really cool record store.

    The OG of Ten is worth it. Just my opinion. $300 was a helluva deal in fact

    That Vs looks just like mine did when I bought it 20+ years ago. Feel ripped off as I paid $9.99 plus shipping. LOL. I opened it but have a pizza box type record mailer with all the shrinkwrap layed out flat from every PJ album with the stickers or barcode stickers on them. That sounds ridiculous doesn't it. Agree 90s pressings of Vs far superior.

    I just removed the shrink wrap. So the record can finally breath after almost 30 years. The vinyl itself looks great. I was nervous about warping. The cover has no bends or creases. It is in amazing shape. The others looked really good as well in terms of the quality of the cover. He must not have moved them around much. I felt weird unsealing it, but there was no reason for me to buy it if I was not going to play it. I am keeping the shrink wrap with the Pearl Jam sticker and the $7.99 price tag. I pulled it off really carefully.

    I know it is a great deal for Ten and I did consider it. But I rarely listen to the one I have now. I overplayed it when I was younger - even though I do love the songs. If he was selling it for the same $100-120 as the others, I may have gotten it. $300 is hard to put down for a record I don't listen to as much. Now I am thinking of No Code. For you experts is the OG worth it over the black and clear reissues I already have?

    Yes. 

    I like the OG no code a lot more. It’s probably my favorite PJ album so I do listen to it a lot so that one is worth it. 

    The clear one in particular has a lot of surface noise that won’t clean out. Black one is better.  Mine is the 2016 but the 2021 is the same remaster 

    the most noticeable one is ten though out of everything .  For sure the OG is obviously better.  Yield and No Code may be the best reissues out of them all

    Dammit. Now I have to go back and get No Code. It is one of my favorites. I was hoping you would say that the reissues are better or just as good. But since I do play this one a lot, I might as well go for it. Luckily the store is around the corner from my apartment. Will the post the photo shortly. I will resist getting Ten when I am there though. For sure.

    I’m fairly sure most people will say the no code versions are close. It’s nitpicking details. I think it sounds thin on the reissue. 

    really unless your clear has a lot of clicks and pops which seems pretty common, your not going to be blown away with the difference 

    ten is a no brainier on the sound…. But it’s a lot more money 
    ten isn’t in my top 5 PJ albums either so I’m not particularly ten focused so then it’s harder to justify

    Haha, good luck with it!

    I think the vinyl market is going to come back to earth.  I'd buy Ten for $100 or so, but for the same reasons as you (over played), I just don't see dropping $300.

    I’ve bought 2 copies of ten on eBay. Both less than 50 bucks in the last year.

    one wasn’t salvageable one was a solid VG+ after a really good clean.  

    You can always gamble on the pre owned ones.

    The guy gave me a deal. Ten and No Code for $380. So I took it. Both are sealed. Photos to come.

    I had to do it. He gave me a deal. Both for $380. Why not. Maybe I will fall in love with Ten all over again. Original price tag on the Ten was $7.99. Original price tag on No Code was $11.99 then a sale sticker for $8.99. I was buying these on CD at that time.

    I would get them all the OG pressings are far better than the reissues. Especially Vitalogy, imo.

    Awesome! My sealed Ten has a $10.98 sticker on it. You will love them.

    I will probably keep the Ten sealed until I want to listen to it again. But I kind of want to open the No Code to see what card series I got. Which one should I be hoping for?

    Not sure. I only have one of the OGs, mine is the C set. You will definitely enjoy the sound from these OG pressings. Enjoy!
