since lps go like hotcakes and never last on the site, it is surprising, i think 1 or 2 thousand of each (1 for ra) would be a good idea, sell 20000 records at 20 a piece, thats almost ahalf a mill. where are the low level record execs on these things - looking for the next pop hit i guess
not when i could be usin that shit for its actual purpose! "Ohhhhhhhhhh look at my 200 dollar copy of Binaural guys.. its so beautiful you guys, seriously" "can we listen to it?" "um NO.. its limited edition vinyl, ASSHOLE!"
If you want to hang something on the wall... buy a fucking poster .. but yes sir, thanks for pointing out that i can't do anything about what other people do with their vinyl, as if it were not so painfully obvious to me already. Hence my frustration.
Ps, who ever was babbling about the "if there was a bunch of them, nobody would want them" crap... first off, thats a load. I wanted the benny lp because i thought it would be SO COOL to have at least one live pj vinyl just like i have with all my other favs. I don't want the vinyl because some asshole decided to tease me and only produce a few.
my thought and point exactly....great, you bought it, you can do whatever you want with it! but if you want to hang it on your wall, buy a poster! Shit, you can buy a 12" x 12" promo cover poster of nearly any record, hang that on your wall!
so many people here just dont get it! this isnt about profit! these are not investments! listen to the vinyl, hang the posters on your wall! if youve never heard your vinyl you are missing out!

You're saying that we can do whatever we want with our purchase, but then you go on to say that we need to listen to it if we own it. You're contradicting your points.
If we can do what we want with it, it shouldn't matter if we hang it up on our wall or spin it down to the groove. You should be at ease with anyone's decision either way since it isn't your copy of the vinyl.

spin that shit and move on with your life. You can still say you own the vinyl after it's been spun. It doesn't go away. The only reason people are afraid to open them is because the value will go down. Well, in a couple years, the open ones will sell for what the sealed ones go for today. Stop being petty and enjoy them.
just a thought,if the band advertised a limited edition of 2300 and later on released say another 5000 would that lead to false advertising claims,ya know people saying i bought it BECAUSE it was limited edition,i wonder were this would leave the band legally,i know pj fans would never sue the band whatever but a serious record collector?

Stop being petty?
Holy moly! Dude, you're a talking like a facist throwing a tantrum and trying to tell everyone else what they should do with their own vinyl records. And your yapping about pettyness? Sheesh. Get a grip.
And I'm someone who plays all of his vinyl records (except duplicate backups) regardless of their collector's value.

Yeah, I was kinda drunk when I wrote that last night but I read the entire thread and that's what came out. I used to be the guy that cherished his vinyl so much that I was afraid to open it. I have since opened and enjoyed all of them and have no regrets. I wasn't trying to sound fascist in any way and also am not telling anyone what to do. What should I care if someone has a record collection sealed hanging on their wall. I was trying to say that, in my opinion, I think people would enjoy it more if it was on the turntable. Who am I to say.

Alcohol and the internet........a bumpy ride, lol.
I started collecting vinyl LP records and 45s when I was 7 years old. Always played every piece of vinyl I ever bought.
By the time I was 24 years old, I had way over 800 LPs (closer to 900) and 200-300 .......45 Singles.
You know what really sucks?
Back in 1987 I went on a two week vacation to Avalon, NJ. We rented a house had a great time.
I came home after those two weeks to find my house completely flooded and my records underwater. As it happened, the flooding occured the day after we left for Avalon. So my whole record collection sat underwater for what basically was a full two weeks. I was devastated.
You wouldn't believe the LPs that were destroyed. Several rare and hard to find collectors items, as well as shitload of my cherished First Pressings.
Neil Young's Rust Never Sleeps, Live Rust, Harvest, Comes A Time......Tom Petty's first five albums....all First Pressings. Bruce Springsteen......Born To Run, Darkness On The Edge Of Town, The River.............early 70s Judas Priest, UFO, Scorpions, AC/DC, Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd, Elvis Costello, The Ramones, Sex Pistols, 999, Gordon Lightfoot, a ton of all of Elton John's records, Michael Schenker, The Starz, Angel, The Guess Who, Humble Pie, Peter Frampton, Fleetwood Mac, Eric Carmen, The Raspberries, The Beach Boys, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones........the list goes on and on......all First Pressings.
Not to mention the 100-200 British Imports that were just awesome LPs.
All underwater for two weeks in the hot, humid month of July. They were destroyed....ruined. LP covers were actually falling apart and like tissue paper. The vinyl records were all warped beyond belief. A lot of the records were floating around all messwd up and warped, out of their covers.
My speakers.....destroyed. My stereo receiver survived because it was on a tall, heavy cabinet. But my turntable and cassette player ...ruined.
A sight I'll never forget.
As bad as that was, I was very fortunate that my vintage Ampeg double stack bass amp, the Ampeg tube Pre Amp and all of my bass guitars were at our rehearsal basement; at our guitar players house.
12 of my records survived because they were at my lead guitarist's house.
Man NMyTree, I don't even know what I would do if that happened to me, I also have a big record collection, haven't counted lately but has to be 1,500+, my wife and daughter say I have a problem. I really would have been sick to my stomach about the UFO records, those are VERY rare and hard to find, I have about 5 or 6 of their LP's.
It sounds like you and I have the same music taste (I'm 39) have you ever been to the record convention that they have once a year here in Austin, it's great. You should come down one year and check it out it's a great time, you're a bigger man than I, as I don't know what I would if subjected to seeing my stereo and Lp's like that.

I don't know about being a better man. I was really upset about that.
I basically abandoned vinyl and started collecting CDs, since they had just come out. It wasn't till the late 90s that I started slowly collecting vinyl, again. The I really picked up the pace over the last five years. My vinyl collection has grown ......big time, in just the last three years.
I'll never find a lot of the records I lost. Especially the First Pressings, the UK imports and those really rare records. But I have been able to locate and buy some of the harder to find Godz, Angel, Starz and one Judas Priest LP. As well as one UFO record.
I've been looking for a mint copy of Elton John's " Don't Shoot Me I'm Only The Piano Player " either the MCA pressing from here in the United States, or a nice mint copy of the DJM Records pressings from the UK; for the last five years. Still no luck. This one is a tough one to find. The search....conitinues:D
