stack 'em, play 'em, flip 'em over, play 'em.

This is actually how I listened to records when I was a kid in the 60's and early 70's.

This was my first record player.



My first 7" vinyl was included with my Star Wars' Return Of The Jedi audio book.
Those were good times.

Should have been 10 records, 4 of them with 8 B-sides.

Will be funny when the cool insert is a couple of b sides. I hope that's what they are doing so this board could absolutely explode with complaints from the folks complaining about this set.

Serious (kinda) question...

If they release another version next month with the exact same songs split over 3x 7-inch vinyls (2 songs each side); and then another version after that with the same songs split over 2x 10-inch records......would you buy those too? Or would that be just a bit.....silly? Where are people drawing the line here?

For some reason, this has riled me up even more than the sheep, the iPad case or even the dog collars managed to.

The music itself means nothing in this box set. It's for the collectors, not the music.

Totally not true.

It is this easy, if you dont like it or if you think it is over priced then dont buy it. I bought one for myself. And I am a collector also. But i am not one of those people that is gonna leave it sealed and eventually try and flip it. This is one thing I wish 10 Club would do. If these 7 inch box sets are for members only, then I wish 10 Club would police ebay and bust the members that are gonna flip these. I never understood how you can get your membership revoked for scalping 10 Club tickets. But it is alright for members to flip merch on ebay for a huge profit.

Why cant 10 Club bust some of these people on ebay and revoke their membership for flipping items? I know Jack White and his fan club on Third Man Records at least try to watch ebay and bust vault members from flipping the vault merch. How sucsessful they are, I have no idea. But at least they try to stop this. Maybe Im the only one that feels this way? Ok, there is my 2 cents. Back to watching football now.

That would really suck. Almost my entire PJ vinyl collection is now sitting on my shelf thanks to people who kept their merch sealed and then sold it on eBay. Some person a few years or a few days from now who is new to 10c will be glad that.some other member is flipping this item, because that's the onlyvway he or she will ever be able to own it. Me, i'm praying to someday have my Benny Hall thanks to some person out there who posts it on eBay when i can afford it.

I see your point. And I admit that point never crossed my mind. And I am to in need of Benny on vinyl also. But to pay a thousand or more for it is absurd to me. But I guess it a supply vs demand type of thing. I guess Im fortunate to have all of PJs albums on vinyl (except Benny Hall). And that I havent had to buy them off ebay. My No Code copy still has a Tower Records price tag on it of $9.99 from when I bought it the day it was released. Dont get me wrong I have bought records and merch from other bands on ebay before, but I just am patient enough to find whatever I am looking for at a decent price.

I predict at least 500 by early March.

No question

Looks very cool indeed

I don't think this will reach crazy price levels, because it's so made to be a collector's item and doesn't really serve a purpose other than that. Which differs from Benny which people wan't to own because they want to listen to Benny on vinyl.

But what do I know...

I just wish that I hadn't abandoned vinyl from 1990 to the end of 2011! :fp: But since I did such a dumb thing, I guess I just look at the high prices of older PJ vinyl as my punishment.

Do you really think there is no purpose in having the whole album as singles? You don't think just being able to easily play one song at a time is a nice thing to be able to do?

It's not really that difficult to play one song from an LP though is it?

I don't play or collect 7" singles (having to change a record every 3 or 4 songs is bad enough, to do it every song no thanks!!) so it's an easy pass for me. Couldn't justify a total of $74 for a "cool booklet". That may or not be cool

But for people such as yourself who are buying this to play then that's cool. I love vinyl, I like collecting but for me there is no point in this release.

benny halls will always be on another level in my opinion bc that was a more "pure" time for pearl jam merch. they obviously were pumping out merch then, but as far as vinyls go, you had no vault releases, deluxe box sets with multiple vinyls included, vinyl variants, etc, etc like you do today.

whenever PJ tries to do something special like this it just automatically feels watered down because of how spoiled we have become with accessible merch over the past several years.
