2016 Pearl Jam Lookwright 7 & 12 Inch Vinyl Record Crates

derbydave

Haven't seen this mentioned anywhere...
so I'll share what I am using to organize my singles here!!
If you're looking for an inexpensive item to store your 7" vinyl records,
the 2013 bootleg box works PERFECT!!!



I don't have a lot of singles...
there are around 25 in this box and it's about half full.

You can still buy the empty boxes on the nugs website:

It's only $30 plus shipping

I don't collect vinyl. And other than 2 posters, 4 t-shirts and CDs/10C singles, I don't have any other PJ merch. IMHO, I think the wood crates look nice. And I like that they are made locally by real people and that the material is wood, (as opposed to some mass manufactured plastic stuff, imported from overseas).
If you want to support small local business and have quality materials, you've gotta pay a bit more. Just my 2 cents.

I'm betting the fans in China are furious these aren't locally sourced.

When I read the march mail newsletter, I thought to myself "well, cool, I'll gladly spend about 20$ for the 7" one so I can store the holiday singles all together.. clicked on the link, saw the price, said "Porca troia, col cazzo!" (translation: "Holy fuckin shit, no way!") Then I had dinner.
That's all I have to say about this, except I still remember when PJ was more about the music than this ridiculous stuff.

Yeah, it would be really nice to have an affordable 7" PJ vinyl storage solution. I understand that 10C wants to use high quality materials and stuff made in the US and handcrafted and all that, but this is over the top, and IMO shows a bit of a lack of understanding of and empathy for the fans. They seem to be choosing items that Eddie Vedder and his famous friends might buy, because he's stinking rich and can afford high end everything, including tiny hand-painted camping mugs and $100 wooden boxes, rather than choosing what their normal, mostly middle class fan base would buy. Surely there is a middle ground, where it's not crap from China, but also not completely out of 90% of the fans' price range. I mean, sure there are some people who are fanatical enough to throw too much money at any item with a PJ logo on it... but is offering a lot of high end, very expensive band merch to a very loyal fan base the right thing to do? I would say no.
Of course it is our right not to buy it, and many of us won't.... But the lack of normal, affordable options for the best merch ideas, like vinyl crates and coffee mugs, just doesn't quite seem fair. The affordable stuff is always garbage, and the nice stuff is way too pricey.

I'm saying this as someone who has no interest at all in vinyl crates btw, no matter what they cost. I'm just talking about the general principle of it.

I think if you are intent on listening to things on vinyl you are already paying a premium to buy it on vinyl, so spending $100 on a crate isn't unrealistic. If someone is on a budget they should be buying the $9.99 mp3 or listening to Spotify instead of buy a $20 record.

The fans on here never cease to amaze me. Here we have a collective of people who almost universally support a living and/or minimum wage and demand for things to made locally. Yet when it comes to payment time to support "6 local businesses and it's employees" most of you scream bloody murder. These boxes are craftsmanship and take a small team to produce. If you want things made in america and a living wage for those who produce these things then recognize/accept what it costs. This is someone's livelihood.

I think there's a lot of wiggle room between a crappy $10 box made in China and a $100 box made in the USA.

There were three merch lines setup at Wrigley in 2013 and all three lines were 4 hours long all day for three days straight.

I don't think the club needs to be concerned about selling a $100 crate and bankrupting their fans. If you are buying vinyl you are already spending more money then you need to.

On the contrary, because i spend every extra cent i have on a more expensive format, i have less money than those who buy mp3s do (i do also pay for Spotify though).
(But besides that, just because people have records it doesn't mean they have money. You can get used records for really cheap, or you might have owned them for many years, or we might buy way fewer albums than than those who go digital).

Definitely agree about the older vinyls. But the new vinyls are all double what a CD would cost.

I take it that you are not a vinyl purchaser. I do purchase vinyl. I'm sorry that you feel that way.

We purchase a bit of vinyl resale. I've purchased most of my vinyl at the shows directly from the band. I don't think that $15 or $20 for a single/double album set is expensive at all.

bootlegger10 said:

Disagree. I don't find this statement to be true at all. I find the difference to be $5 and above. Sure, some can be a fair amount more. I think that my husband may have paid $40 for Songbook for me for my birthday. You know what? Worth every cent and it was a gift.

If vinyl isn't your thing, that is certainly cool. I happen to love it as well as many, many others here do.

If I did have the extra funds, I would buy a crate in a heartbeat. I work in a gallery. I appreciate handcrafted items made of quality materials. I get it.

Beautiful post

The folks on here never cease to amaze me. It's $100, big deal. Maybe that's a more significant amount to some people than it is to others, but let's not forget we're talking about A FUCKING HOBBY here. It's not like Ed bought the rights to a life saving AIDS drug and jacked the price up 5000%! A little perspective around here from time to time wouldn't hurt.

It's a fucking wood box. Buy it or don't.

I like the idea but I'll be passing on this. With summer tour coming up and RSD.....I'll save my $180+ to buy more records!
