SEVENS SINGLES QUESTIONS

edited November 2013 in The Porch
If you don't have a jukebox that plays records, what's the point of owning this thing? You're going to sit there after every song and flip the record?

If you have the full vinyl LP, why would you want this? It's not going to sound better is it?


Hope there aren't any skips or pops.

    If I'm in the mood to listen to a specific song, its easier to put the single on. :)

    I get what you are saying though. Collectors buy things that are unique. And OCD collectors buy everything made available.

    I'm guessing "flip" is exactly the reason these are sold out already. "Pearl Jam, the Investment Company you can trust"- if you're fast enough. This really ticks me off. It's like, if you really love vinyl you have to fucking watch this place like a hawk or shell out ridiculous bucks to flippers. If Pearl Jam really wanted to be innovative they'd make 45's affordable and available like they used to be. Now it's just trendy, shit loads of packaging, super limited numbers, flip flip flip, and has little to do with making good sounding analog available to those who love it. Bah! Fuck me.

    I have a couple of similar box sets by other bands and they are pretty cool. The Black Crowes "3 Snakes and 1 Charm" and Faith No More's "King For A Day" are ones that spring to mind that I still play occasionally.

    I would have loved to get my hands of this but unfortunately not everyone lives in a US time zone...

    This item is not about playability. It's a collectors item...nothing more, nothing less.

    The band has no need to "milk" us for $. It's all supply and demand. I'm happy as a fan they are producing cool items like this. Glad I got one, and if the packaging is as cool/quality as the Lightning Bolt LP it'll be more than worth the money to me.

    Why would anyone buy these and not just get the LP? These are $20 more and require you to keep changing them out. I could see wanting these if they had unreleased b-sides or something but they don't appear to. Lame.

    For real!? Why does everyone care so much why other people buy stuff? Just move along if you don't like/want it.

    I'm not a collector but I got it and I'll be playing them often, why you ask? Why would I want to switch the records over and over again instead of just buying the whole album? Because I want to!

    Here's why I bought it: 45 rpm records sound more "alive."
    Higher speed means larger capacity for storing information. Lower speed is more convenient from the storage and costs point of view. Performance wise, 45 rpm editions always sound better than 33 rpm ones, provided that the rest of the variables are equal (master tape, vinyl quality and so on).

    This is pretty much the actual reason. It's the best of the best essentially. If you're an audiophile, this is the ultimate way to listen to the album.

    I bought it since I didn't waste my time with the LP since the quality was awful. Plus the artwork is sweet but who would pay hundreds of dollars for this thing blows my mind. Sure it's a good album but not like there are special B sides or anything on it. PJ does have the most insane fans when it comes to buying stuff. Baffling honestly. But hey... If it makes you happy then to each their own.

    I think its a pretty stupid question to begin with, asking people who listen to vinyl why they would want some vinyl that they have to flip at some point.

    Also, when has owning a jukebox been the sole requirement for listening to 45s?

    Hope there aren't any skips or pops.

    The word "collectible" didn't appear in the listing, but it was implied, sort of. Why to buy this? Need a reason? Why to by a deck of cards for 10 bucks? why to buy a sheep in wolf clothing toy? or a PJ dog neclace? Besides, we are talking about PJ and vinyl here. Appart from the fact that 45's sound better than LP and you can spin the songs you want in isolation, should there be another legit reason to buy this? NO! And flipping is not the answer either. If you buy this and you don't have a turntable (it doesn't have to be a jukebox) you can flip it, you can keep it, trade it or buy a turntable.
    ... I am not in the business of being liked anymore ...
