I'm kinda in a dilema here. My parents and friends aren't as big as pj fans as i am. not even close actually. and they see how much the vinyl is going for on ebay and stuff right now, and they want me to basically sit on the vinyl to make money. That really isn't what i wanted to do with it originally. I guess what im wanting is your opinions, or what you all are going to do with your vinyl.

    keep it, play it.
    Vinyls are made to be palyed, not to stay sealed or sold on ebay.
    If you didn't need it, you shouldn't have bought it.
    If you have it and don't need it anymore, sell it for face value to someone who wasn't lucky enough to have one. my 2 cents.

    Your parents sound greedy. Did they pay for your membership?

    Don't just sit on the albums, play them! Keep them for yourself. I have most of their records, I play them. They never stay sealed. I guess one day whichever of my kids wants them will have them for themselves. I have a feeling whoever wants them will keep them also....along with all of the other albums we have.


    If you went into it with an investing type of idea, then you've already answered your own question and will some day part with them. I couldn't part with any of my albums, doesn't matter what band or artist it is..



    what do you want to do deep down inside?

    ;)


    My mom just brought down some more of her black gold on her last visit during the holidays, 2 of the albums were old Dave Brubeck....so kick ass and believe me, they hit the turntable.

    First post here in this forum :)

    Well, nobody needs a vinyl nowadays, so I guess this release was intended to be something cool-to-have-hard-to-find thing, and as you are one of the few lucky who own this record and realy likes PJ then you should keep it of course!

    Play it! It must fell very nice to hear PJ with that little dirt noise from the needle.

    Pardon my english!

    It's worth $20 plus s&h that you paid for it. The real value is in the music. Vinyl ain't worth a shit unless you spin it.

    two choices

    PLAY IT

    or give it to someone who will

    vinyl is meant to be played

    the record will actually disintegrate over time, so youd better start playing it as soon as you receive it!

    Spin the black circle indeed!!! Just handle it with care (oh so gently) as you should with any vinyl.
