Has the value of the original pressing of Yield gone up or down with the reissue??

    Problem down for the short term, but will regain the value in the long run. Original pressings usually hold their value well.

    Interesting. I didn't know OG pressings were always sought after.

    For collectors, yes. For people just wanting to spin a record...no.

    Seems that the price may have dropped since the re issue

    The original presses "often" sound better than re-issues

    The price/value actually dropped for Yield a few months ago, before the re-issues were announced. I expect that they have bottomed out now though.

    They'll always hold a pretty good value to collectors, reissues tend to be for someone who wants a copy on wax. The hardcore collector will usually seek out the originals and therefore among enthusiasts value is higher than represses

    Yeah, I don't think using eBay as the official barometer is accurate since there are tons of places that OPs are sold (i.e. Discogs, Amazon, etc,.)

    Kind of disagree, ebay is accurate as a barometer as its the go to place for a lot of buyers, proper pictures and descriptions that no where else really matches although bidding sometimes inflates the value. I always feel if you buy from discogs its a bit more of a risk although I often do. More people are catching on to other sites but ebay still comes out top.
    I believe that although originals will always be desirable the value has dropped significantly. I dont believe people will be quite as willing to pay big bucks for an original when you can get a perfectly good reissue for $20.
    Unless most of the originals disappear from the market I cant see them fetching the big prices again.

    Its probably the best time to buy the original if youve always wanted one.

    I got the '94 U.S pressing of Ten on ebay two months back for $40- it was in NM condition.
    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.

    Totally agree with this, but in a few years...all those with these reissues will want to compare to an original or have an original in their collection also. That is when the value will be back as it has been.

    Just look at Beatle collectors..there are a ton of reissues, and the newest Mono reissues have had the best reviews of the bunch... however collectors will still pay a hefty sum for original pressings.

    So if you want an original NOW is the time to buy. If you have have an original, don't sell it. :smirk:

    ^agree, I was thinking of all the Beatles stuff too. Wait another 20 years and the originals will be an even bigger deal.

    I know what you guys are saying, and Id love for mine to keep the high value but not totally convinced. I'm hunting around for other examples but it's a lot of leg work. I don't always think comparing the Beatles is a great example because maybe for some of us PJ are the Beatles of our time and there is no denying how collectible PJ merch and vinyl has become, however I don't believe PJ will ever be as big as the Beatles from a collector's point of view.

    The Mellon Collie 3lp seems to have maintained its value but original sleeve design and track listing is probably a factor in that. I'm not saying I'm right, it's just my opinion, I'd love to see examples of a band with more similarities to PJ. Age, popularity etc.

    I don't think it will be impossible to sell an immaculate original for a high price, it will just be harder because there will be less people looking.

    That's kind of my thinking and mainly why I started this thread, hoping to get others input. You'd think it's simple supply and demand, right?

    There's a lot of records from the 90s that seem to sit on eBay etc. for years not shifting with the seller hoping to get that big price.

    Yah you don't use buy it now as the measure of value as people ask insanely high prices. You look through completed auctions that were done via bid.

    I do think that originals lose some value when new issues come out (or when the reissue is rumoured/announced). There's a lot of people content with the reissue, so I think the demand for the originals wane for a while. I've bought OP's that weren't reissued yet for $100ish dollars, but I've never paid that for anything that's been reissued (or even rumoured to be reissued). I'll only shell that out if I really think it's the only way.

    I think about this a lot. Not that they would be the same, they could be, but who knows. But I love the band, I love collecting and I think that someone like me when the Beatles were cool probably liked buying originals, sealed copies etc.... That would be a cool collection to see now, hopefully mine will be in twenty years too.
