I just find this weird that this is so expensive. It say's Monkeywrench Records / Sony Music ... but it's made / released by Amazing Kornyfone Record Label. A product "Made For Friends Of The Band." A bootleg if you like. That I don't understand. So if Jeff Ament burned 25 "copies" of PJ20 on crappy Memorex brand CDR discs to his closest friends, with just a PJ20 mark on the front cover, those copies would be worth thousands of dollars, much more then the official silver CD product?

Yep. Kinda like the Reenk Roinks. nothing different than the Ten CD everyone has except it is a burned CD with Jeff and Ed's writings on the sleeve.

I remember watching a single record from the gitd PJ20 sell on the bay. I think it sold for over a grand. :crazy: It was in terrible condition and unplayable too.

I would like to know what the sealed complete set sold for. I need a good laugh.

I thought it was a Monkeywrench/sony and had The Amazing Kornyfone Record Label nostalgia on the back. Think they don't exist any more.

It is all about supply and demand

I wouldn't be surprised if those Colombian Blue vs. that have been coming up of late are fakes. Those things never came around, once every few years, now they seem to pop up monthly......

Until the Glow in the darks establish a selling price, Blue Vs. is King of Cost

I have a question...
...
What do people DO with their vinyl?
I ask because mine just sit on the shelf lately. My old turntable was a butcher so I stopped playing it. There are many other priorities than to buy a new record player... although, when I bought the Home Theater Receiver, I made sure I got on with the phono jack.
It seems like lately... I don't have the time to sit around and listen to records. It is much easier for me to play the iPod through the receiver because i can just shut the whole thing down with one button and be out the door. I mean, it would be nice to just kick back and listen to records like I used to... all them years ago. Seems like the time just ain't there any more.
And wouldn't you be kind of freaked to play a 2 thousand dollar record? I would. Then again, I would never pay 2 thousand bucks for a record that would, more than likely, end up sitting on a shelf.

I play the shit out of my vinyl, no matter how much it costs. I don't see the point of buying it otherwise. If I had the money, I would gladly spend whatever I had to to get Benny Hall or something else that I don't already have to spin. I don't think I'd waste money on vinyl that I CAN listen to already, and just spend a pile of money because the fucking thing glows in the dark. But to each their own! I just don't quite understand buying vinyl if you're not going to play it. Where does the passion for the format come from if not from how awesome it sounds when you play it, and/or from the ritual of taking it out of the jacket without touching the playing surface, and placing it on the turntable and gently dropping the needle... sigh.

As for you Cosmo, that's different if you just have a collection that you used to play but don't have time to listen to anymore... Although that's too bad - the passion for spinning vinyl feels great.

You can always turn the lights off after putting it on

I use to ask this same question before I owned a turntable and simply sort of collected PJ vinyl. There's a whole cool experience thing opening the vinyl and listening to it; just more fun if you have the time.

And I understand the high prices for the collectible items as they are rarities and people love to own rarities as it makes it more special. I just wish they would make more PJ stuff available just for listening purposes only kind of thing.

My thought exactly. :fp:

Someone buy my original Soldier Field LP. It's certainly not the most expensive PJ vinyl!

Thanx for that.
I have a bunch of my old records from when I was in high school. I lost a bunch in the various moves and most of them are worn pretty bad.
When CDs first came out.... it was cool because they were miniature versions of my records. And I liked the sound of NOT hearing the clicks and buzzes (or the hissing of the cassette tapes)... it was a change.
In the 90s, I had a bunch of CDs and the novelty of the vinyl came back. We didn't see much vinyl in the latter part of the 80s and vinyl was now a novelty to see new CDs in LP format. So, I started buying them.
I started with Nirvana and Pearl Jam, then Foo Fighters... I got Mellon Collie... and some others. But, just the bands I was serious about.
Nowadays, my adult obsessive compulsive tendencies kicks in and I 'have' to get them, otherwise it bugs me to no end. So, i have all of the Foo Fighters and Pearl Jam records... and the Queens Of The Stone Age, too. It is getting a bit tougher to get them... but, I am grateful to have two GREAT record stores near me... Fingerprints and Amoeba.

i know if you have a spare $1000 buy a trust fund or stick it in a high intrest account.(2%),lol

i would sooner buy a vinyl..its not going to loose me any money..but i dont buy this stuff to make money.

i buy as i collect pearl jam items...and it cost me a shed load now...everything at the low end i have..

but yes i would buy a gitd and yes it would sit on a shelf..i spin the standard vinyl..why spin a $2000 record

but its my vice ..i dont smoke dont drink that much...hate cars..so yeah im a freak..

but im not the only one..

one day when im old and gray(almost there now) it will all be worth sod all...as noone will want it..but it brings me joy collecting..and i can sit there rocking in my old peoples home..hugging my gitd, blue vs...smiling at all the good times i had..all the great people i met though collecting

so if you dont get it..cool you dont get it..but lots of us do.

I don't smoke and I don't drink. Well, only on special holiday's or event's I'll sip a glass but that's about it. With the amount of money I've seen people throwing away each week on items that turn to ash & piss, they too could be using that flow on sweet PJ candy!! *drools
