Complete Sealed Vinyl Collection (a bit long)

StephenJK

In the mid-1990's, it looked like vinyl was going down fast. I don't think anyone expected there would still be any interest today, never mind a lot of new titles being released. I’m not a big fan of reissued titles, but understand that for a lot of people that’s the only way they can get a decent playable copy. I’ve always played vinyl, and still do. But, in the early 90’s I also started collecting sealed LP’s for groups that I thought might have some staying power.

This was with groups like Pearl Jam, Radiohead, Beck, Oasis, Foo Fighters, R.E.M. etc.

I have about 1,600 LP’s, all of them are entered into a database. It makes it a lot easier to keep track of things. Looking over the list the other day, I was surprised to discover that I have over 300 sealed LP’s. I might have got a bit carried away in the last decade or so.

In any event, I decided to put some of them on the market, but I’m not wild about using eBay; although I’m not discounting it as an option. Some are simply one off’s, like Fleet Foxes or Vampire Weekend, and although I do have the CD’s I can open the LP’s and spin the vinyl for that better sound. In fact, the record store where I bought most of the LP’s is buying back a bunch of the Clapton, Beatles and Mobile Fidelity titles that I had for no good reason other than they were sealed.

But, I hate to do that will collections that took a long time to put together, such as with Pearl Jam. So, here it is. A complete sealed vinyl collection of everything that’s been released. All of the albums were bought by me personally from legitimate dealers, other than Benaroya Hall and Live at Soldier Field that came from eBay.

I had to delete some of the columns to get it all to fit, but if anyone is interested I can email a spreadsheet with the full details. All of the albums are USA originals, with the exception of the Ten basketball picture disc from the UK, the Ten reissue basketball picture disc from Brazil, and the Amongst the Waves EP from the UK.

I would welcome any thoughts or opinions on the best way of finding another home for these. I am reluctant to break up the set, assuming that the whole may be worth more than the sum of the parts to the right person.
