I'm sure Sony will give it a look. Vinyl looks here to stay. 

Crossing fingers. Hopefully the pirated bootleg copies floating around are making the Sony reps talk at the conference table that they need more official Pearl Jam vinyl releases flooding the market. 

With zero evidence, I feel confident it will be reissued in time. Key is not to bite on these over priced bootlegs or on the secondary market OG pressings. 

Personally I’m fine with it but I doubt they will. All this secondary market stuff it’s literally the same 100 sellers and same 100 buyers and the same few items changing hands year after year for ever increasing prices 

Demand is vastly amplified in a forum fill of obsessive collectors. I don’t know a single casual Pearl jam fan who would buy a reissue on vinyl of B sides unless there is money in it selling it later. With a reissue that isn’t happening 

I can’t imagine stuff like Riot Act (which happens to be my personal favourite album) sold that many copies of the reissue considering it’s still for sale in the store now. The last thing they want is inventory on hand 4 years later in a market where vinyl is actually popular 

I can’t imagine a Benny re issue would be that different if you remove the financial benefit. Almost all the Bennys I’ve ever seen are still sealed. They aren’t bought and sold to listen to obviously

I would LOVE if Pearl Jam went ahead & released say 10,000 copies of Benaroya Hall, reissued on black vinyl for a Record Store Day event. Someday ... Or yet just release 10,000 and sell them exclusively @ the 10club store.

Benny bump!

I listen to mine. I bought it sealed on the secondary market and opened it. As it is a valuable record I play it on special occasions. Xmas time is usually one of those times. 

A few glasses of rum and the Benny cranked. Wonderful evening.

That’s awesome.  There are probably about 500 out of the 2000 like that wouldn’t you say?

I still think (as much as I personally love that show) that minus the financial benefit there aren’t tens of thousands of people who want that album  as a reissue to listen to if that means it has zero secondary market value.  Vinyl collectors vs vinyl listeners. Vinyl collectors require a value to be associated with an item 

i would listen to a reissue or the OG.  

Now if they reissue it and limit it again then it sells out instantly and no one spins that either 

when I get mine I should post up an unwrapping video 😂

Thanks! My wife is also a huge fan so we enjoy it together. She has a couple glasses of wine.

I do hear what you are saying. I may be the rarest of all in that I am both a listener and a collector. I spare no expense in protecting the media and the sleeves of all my records. For instance, I had copy of a GITD PJ 20. It sounded like shit of course so I sold it to a collector for about what I paid for it and picked up some other records. I have no use for collecting a record just because it is rare. 

An open Benny which has been meticulously cared for isn’t worth much less than a sealed one. Sealed records are often called “mint”.  This is incorrect. The owner cannot know the record is mint if it has not been opened. 
As an owner of the Benny, do I support a RE? Hell yes! I wish more fans could have the opportunity to put to this show on the turntable. I would assume some collectors would think differently and want to keep this rare. Fact is, the OG will always have value, that is how wax collecting works. It doesn’t matter how good the RE is, the OG will always be sought after by collectors. 

I feel the same about Lost Dogs, another album I bought sealed for about $200US a few years ago. Opened it, play it occasionally.

I’m probably both as well. Have open listening copies and duplicates that are sealed 

record grading is a joke. I agree sealed doesn’t mean mint.  Open could be mint but many people think shrink wrap condition is graded 

to be honest though no code and YIELD are about the only reissue I can stand to listen to.  So my reissues just sit there unplayed and I still pick up OG pressings. That’s a whole different issue though.  Why they can’t do a reissue that’s better than the original is beyond me.  Haven’t heard a benny on vinyl though so I wouldn’t have anything to compare it to

as long as the trend of inferior reissues continues the owners of the original have nothing to worry about. That market is safe

I spin my copy anytime I feel like it! Bought for $45 I believe when it came out. Got mofi sleeves and I take care of it like all my other records. The records still look and sound pristine. Same approach with my lost dogs, og no code, vaults, etc.  I even have many Xmas singles playing in my jukebox. (I remember buying lost dogs used for $50 about 15years ago and feeling like I was being unreasonable!) 

I respect those who hang on to them like a picture frame or as an investment. It’s just too bad that not more copies are cracked open by someone who would enjoy them as they were meant to be.  

I hope we do get a regular black copy for all to listen to. I’d be happy having that myself.  And I won’t be disappointed if my original copy drops in value because to me it’s just another record I have and enjoy playing. Obviously I’m aware of the luck I have to own this, but it remains a record I play like the rest of my 450+ records.

Anyone want to sell me your extra copy? I promise to open & play it!

I disagree. However many vault 1 they just sold the Benny would do even better. Anyone with an original would want a backup for cheap. It would sell enough to make worth while.

Would love to see this reissued. There are currently four on Discogs, all various degrees of used, all $2k or more.
