I went down to my local indie record store today to pick up some of the Record Store Day exclusive vinyls (picked up Soundgarden, Hole, Hendrix, Neil Young, Wilco, among a bunch of others). When I was done I was told to go outside to a table that was set up with a bunch of freebies that were to be given out to customers who had spent money on the exclusives that morning (the more money, the more freebies -- I happened to spend $245 total :D ).

So I reached the end of the table and there was a stash of HUGE rolled up posters. I unrolled them to see what they were and it turns out they were the PJ Immagine in Cornice silkscreen posters that were given out a few years ago. I already have a few of the smaller posters, but these were the HUGE ones -- 28x46 (the ones that have an average price of $330.00 on expressobeans).

I had an opportunity to select three free items so naturally I took 3 copies of the PJ poster. What a great morning!

    I also scored some free PJ swag at Streetlight Records in San Jose. They had several copies of the Backspacer promo poster in a bin under the free table. I took two, and left plenty for others. There might still be some there for anyone in the SJ area. They also had plenty of the promo drummer Backspacer stickers. And when I got home and looked in my bag, there was a Johnny G promo sticker in there as well. Awesome Record Store Day!

    That's awesome walkunafraid! Good stuff. The only free posters I was able to obtain were a George Harrison print a Flaming Lips Embryonic print. Wanna trade?

    Yessir, the one in Claremont. I love that store. I actually went back later for the Yo La Tengo show and they still had some of the PJ posters outside (although they hung one of them up...with pushpins :o )! I hope you made it down there...

    That George Harrison print was nice...my fiancee actually grabbed one of those when she went down, otherwise I would have loved a trade.

    I picked up one of those sweet Backspacer posters at my local record store today. I saw a flyer on the back counter about the upcoming Band of Horses album and asked the guy about it. I mentioned that I was going to see them open for Pearl Jam and he was like you said the magic word and handed me the poster! Too friggin cool.

    I got that Silkscreen when I bought the DVD there a few years back. Missed Yo La Tengo but heard they were cool. I read above that the Immagine silkscreen goes for a few hundred bucks??? Wow, I never checked. If any diehard collector wants to send me an offer for mine, pm me, I don't collect posters. :D

    Only the 28x46 silkscreens are going for that much. I, too, got an Immagine silkscreen with the DVD at Rhino a few years ago...but it was the smaller version (15x24, I think). Do you have the huge one or the smaller one?

    Thank you so much! :D I grabbed the one had no push pin on it. No Soundgarden vinyl by the time I got there, , but managed to get Jimi Hendrix, Them Crooked Vultures & Peter Gabriel box set. That poster is a beauty but huge, and it doesn't fit in my usual poster storage thing, has to think where to store it.
