Got it in Montreal today: Riot Act / Love Boat Captain
Thanks 10c! I have Riot Act already, hoping this will get me a LD with a trade.
Congrats.

Thanks! I knew it would be hard to get exactly what I'm missing which is LD, RVM and Benny, but I'm super stoked that I got something that is definitely close enough to trade for LD which is actually on the top of my want list above the others.
Rare or not rare, I'm not like that. If I like something, I am bummed if I cannot get it because it is "rare". I did not get the backpack because I already have a cool one and did not jump for Sevens because it did not entice me enough. I am not jumping on EVERYTHING PJ and I think I have not regretted that yet. I saw somebody posting a picture of their two sealed Bennys on fb today and it makes me sad. There are tons of people who would love this album to spin it. And because it is "rare" there are people who hoard them for whatever reason. To each their own, yes. But why more than one? One of these two could make another music fan happy. And make a sealed vinyl enjoy the pleasures of being opened and put on the deck.
I don't usually don't buy any other merch (I've bought a few posters, and that's about it I think), so was just talking vinyl. I should buy all PJ vinyl. Not because it's rare, but because I keep regretting not having vinyl I didn't buy! I am sick of regret, lol. And i get the Sevens to spin, but then traded it for something I love, but now wish I also still had Sevens... maybe my rule should be to buy two every time. ... but FWIW, i don't buy shit i don't want. Does anyone buy what they don't want?? If nothing else, I want it for trade or to give away... which I think is fine. Trading and giveaways can be fun.
I don't think anyone buys what they don't want. I just think about all the times I was on the fence about something and decided to go for it, only to find it on clearance a few months later. The only exception for me was the backpack. I wasn't going to buy it right away because I figured who would want that, I'll get it on clearance in a couple months. I wanted it, but thought id get a better deal if I waited. Luckily my roommate talked me into buying it then, and I don't know why someone would pay $500 for something like that, I was barely willing to pay $70. I just figure if I want it I'll get it, and shrug it off when it doesn't sell and see it on sale later (like the 10 box set that was the only way to get the live vinyl). I've hesitated on a few things and didn't pull the trigger in time, and are now hard to find. Like for the price on the "sevens," if it wasn't limited and rare, I don't think I would want one for that price, but the collectability is cool.
Should we ever get the opportunity to participate in what I consider a fun lottery again, can I recommend that those nicely organized stacks of goodies you have get a little....
6 RNDM within 15km of my postal code is a little ridiculous. A couple of these even hit the same single. If you're going to put the time into putting them in a box spend an extra little bit of time shuffling the deck.
The copy I got of Riot Act didnt have the sticker on it like my other copy had. Was the sticker only on retail copies?
I recently learned that the European pressing has the sticker and the US pressing doesn't. Maybe. I didn't independently confirm this. But i know I have the US version with no sticker, and the person who had the sticker definitely had a European version, so we surmised... and the other person mentioned that it's noted on discogs (I didn't check). If this is true, then interesting that 10C has both pressings stocked up... which actually makes me doubt the theory I've just outlined, lol. I mean, why would 10c get a big stock of euro pressings? That would be a waste of money to get them shipped to the band in the States, no?
(... i feel like I have gone on way too long about this, lol)

Pretty much everything tbh! I only have most Ed Ved stuff and a few recent PJ vinyl releases. I'd kill for Avocado vinyl—but that's not going to happen. Guess I'm open to suggestions.

The US version definitely has the sticker. I have two copies, one with the clear sticker (similar to the cd version) and one with a black sticker. Are we talking about the "pearl jam riot act" sticker attached on the front of the shrinkwrap, right?

RNDM and EV - no more 7" in Hertfordshire, UK. Not bad, the 7" is pretty rare from what I can gather. I'm pretty new to PJ vinyl anyway, so it's all good!

Not a fan of Mad Season but was great to be part of this mystery sale anyway.
What would you guys consider a good trade for Mad Season? Looking for any Pearl Jam album
Me: How about we just get a bigger house?
