    Today I received the records and I just wanted to give you a quick update on the quality. I have got both, the original vinyls and the replicas and especially the avocado looks very cool. They are brand new, the booklet looks exactly like the original just the cardboard of the gatefold cover is a bit thinner and more glossy. The Yield record's sleve is a bit glossier, too. It also seems they are both a bit darker than the originals and some of the fonts are not exactly identical. But almost. The print quality is not as good as the real deal though and the sleeves feel cheaper in general.

    The records look amazing, especially the sparkly blue self titled.

    In terms of sound I can say that somebody did a pretty damn good job. I am using a Technics 1210mkII with an Ortofon 2m Blue cartridge on pretty decent amp with great speakers and I know my system. Apparently they took the CD-Masters the originals sound a tiny little bit more open and dynamic than the copies but still they sound extremely nice and I didn't stumble upon any pops or clicks.

    Yes, I prefer the real deal, too and instead of paying over 100 bucks for one of these new pressings (which is what they go for on ebay already), it might be better to wait for a nice deal on an original or even for an official repress. If you can get one for a decent price, buy it, it's definitely the work of somebody who knows what they are doing. (and maybe even someone who is a pearl jam fan...:))

    This just may be the best way to make the band start doing the reissues...let them see these bootlegs and the money theyll lose out on.
    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    Just like an early leak of a record release pushes up the date. I am not for going about things the wrong way but if it is the only way to get them and it forces the hand to appease the fans, then I am all for it.
    Wind this thing up.
