Just a tiny little complaint for the 10c about the Super duper version...

Just a thought...for $140, couldn't they have at least thrown in the 'Drop in the park' concert in cd format as well? Or give you an option when ordering? The Lp's in my set are just going to sit and collect dust.

I agree...I don't own a record player...was hoping Drop in the Park would be on CD instead.
besides... just get a turntable... CDs are useless now that ipods exist but i still prefer to have something to open/hold and the superior sound of vinyl

cds arent useless, majority of what i listen to is from cd. granted their dead to most people, but not to all of us = )
The notebook, photos and cassette are "neat" but there is no way I would have bought this thing if it was a bunch of CD's instead of vinyl.
Why is anybody buying this if they don't plan on spinning the vinyl?!
I will spend my first post saying I don't yet own a turntable but was hoping for one for Xmas... I bought it just to have it. Same reason I buy all the other PJ merchandise released.
Finally got that "One for the Thumb"!!! Got the "Six Pack". Now we're on a "Stairway to Seven"

Fair enough Jez. I hope Santa's good to you!
ill save any further comments about the set til i really get a good look at it... could be alot more to it than the vinyl... but right now thats my main motivation

I'll politely disagree with this idea.
I think the whole thing with PJ doing vinyl singles for the fan club is that they wanted to do something unique for their fans at the same time as doing something nostalgic for them (and perhaps themselves). Releasing vinyl 7" records was already becoming rare when they started in 1991. Certainly the number of people with working record players has not increased since they started doing this so the uniqueness of the act takes on more and more meaning over time.
In many ways, Pearl Jam's charter has been that they want to challenge their fans: Challenge them to think about the effects establishment has on the prices they pay for a concert ticket (Ticketmaster), challenge them to listen to music instead of watching videos (MTV boycott), challenge them to value the quality of their song writing as they have intentionally produced less commercial songs (radio plays of songs from Ten vs. each subsequent album), etc... Continuing to release vinyl 7" records challenges new members of the fan club to adopt an older format which they are unfamiliar with. I think it's important to note though that the payoff for adopting this format(vinyl) is that it opens up a whole new world of experience when it comes to listening to music if you haven't done it before. Ultimately, it may not be for everyone but it really is worth trying. You can pause an mp3 or cd any time you want, but odds are you'll sit and listen to an entire song once you lower the stylus.
Out of consideration to fans that don't have the ability to pick up a record player just to listen to two songs a year the ideas of doing a digital download or cd could be good alternatives, but I for one hope that the band that wrote "Spin The Black Circle" does not stop releasing vinyl for the fan club. It's another example of how the band differentiates their fan club from those of other bands. Personally I wait all year for the fan club single and relish it when it comes.
Just my two cents.
I can never understand why people buy vinyl and don't listen to it - either buy a turntable or don't buy the vinyl!

Some of you are still old fashioned and still listen to....CD's? That is funny in itself...considering vinyl is an older format.
People that are complaining about vinyl do not understand the history of the band. I remember when Vitalogy came out 2 weeks earlier on vinyl than on CD/cassette...So why are people surprised at this?
Please digital downloads bollocks, the reason PJ still release vinyl is because it blows any other format out the window. why abandon the 7" releases cause you can't see sense and buy a turntable, more vinyl gathering dust. to really understand this band you really have to play the vinyl, all of the albums sound 10 times better on a decent turntable and that projector comment just completely misses the point. Analogue rules!!!
Just spinning the new 180 gram pressing of Appetite for Destruction, it's never sounded better.
I don't like CD's and will only purchase them when the vinyl is taking ages to come out, PJ will no doubt get my dollar for both formats because the vinyl for some reason like the previous albums comes weeks later.
I hope we get the vinyl simultaneously released with all the other formats with the new album, I'd rather not buy the CD due to it's ltd quality. My vinyl copy of Binaural made me see the album in a whole new light and I wanted to play it, I rarely put CD's on if I can help it.
I hope this is the start of a re-release program new vinyl copies of the back cat will be a joy to behold. Like Capitol have re-released all Radiohead's Parlophone back cat.
Peace Love & Pearl Jam forever!!
thats a good idea!
