    Hi, deadend! It's not foggy here, looking like another beautiful, warmer day! I think I'm gonna spin some motown today :)
    I hope you all have a fantastic day, I'm looking at you as well, Pearl Jam! The fresh air helps clearing the thoughts. Think BENAROYA HALL VINYL REISSUE...:lightbulb::money:

    Was PJ out of their Sony contract at the time? Wondering if there are any legal issues preventing them from repressing it.

    I thought it was their own product. Can anybody who owns one check on the back?

    Edit - on pjcollectors.com it says "Label: Ten Club".

    They were still under contract with Sony in 03/04, however I think Leeze is correct.. the pressing was an inside job. I don't know if they would've had to obtain licensing rights or not. I don't think there is any info on the back of the box. (Can't remember, and I even looked at mine last night.)
    Check out pjcollectors.com and see what info is on there. I can't right now because our work server picks it up as a music site and blocks it.

    Probably not. The question people skirt around is do they want to repress it. The original pressing was limited edition intentionally (not by accident like No Code through Self Titled, where the pressing were small due to vinyl demand).

    2000 copies wasn't very big for 2003 either. It crashed the website and sold out in less than 48 hours. It's not really like the studio albums that were pressed when no one wanted vinyl which resulted in small pressings (a reflection of the times they were pressed in).

    I dunno. The band has a hard enough time re-releasing the studio albums on vinyl. I'm not entirely sure they want to repress (or have any intent) on repressing a vinyl they meant to be limited in the first place. If the band can't get around to rereleasing no code through avacado, I can't imagine Benaroya is anywhere near the top of the priority list.

    I'll still give you kudos for trying :)

    Yeah, but what does the band gain by not re-issuing their catalog? Does it drive up desire for other 'goods' they release? Justify their high prices listed for Benny's they auction on eBay for charity? What?

    You seem to think that Pearl Jam = 10 Club. I've always thought that band delegates their merch to the 10c, and the 10c runs it. I don't think the band sits down, has a huddles, and discusses which of their merch from the past goes for the most on ebay? :) They probably thought it was a cool idea in 2003 and see the odd one when a fan asks for an autograph. I bet that's it. 10c kept copies aside and the 10c puts the odd one up for charity auction.

    I don't think the band put's as much thought into stuff as you think they do :)

    Sunny morning bump for a Benny that doesn't have to have all of the bells and whistles. Black vinyl. Generic (but secure for shipping) packaging. We don't ask for much!

    I suppose that you'd have to ask someone who owns one and most of us here do not.

    Bump for the Benny so that we can answer this question from our own vinyl experience!

    Not only some one who owns it, but someone who actually plays it. Please, Pearl Jam, re-issue Benaroya Hall on vinyl so we all can know the answer to this question.

    ^^ And don't seal it! If they seal it, then people will want to put it up on their shelves! NO PLASTIC WRAP! This Benny is for playing!
