I would be shocked if someone is paying $1,000 for a Benaroya for the sound quality of vinyl (would think it is just part of collecting). If they are than someone needs to hit them up the side of the head and knock some sense into them.0

Keep the money in your pocket, I will send you my CD for free if you really want it. It's the exact same show, same mastering, same everything... Benny wasnt mastered for vinyl.... they took the exact same digital file from the cd and pressed it to wax... you are literally paying $1,000 for a large black cd
Seriously. Keep your money.i really like Benny Hall - great show IMO. I would really love to be able to play the album on my turntable. I would also just like to have it so that my vinyl collection is more complete. I would not, however, spend $1000+ on it. Not unless I won the lottery. I don't understand why the fan base decided to allow the Benny's price to get so out of control. I feel like we, as an entire fan base, need to pull our heads out of our asses and realize that we are the sole cause of the super crazy prices on some of this stuff. $300 - $500 for some vinyl that is really hard to find I can swallow, and have even been known to pay over $300 for a couple PJ albums. That is pretty standard pricing on the secondary market for rare vinyl that is in demand. Records in the same position from other artists are usually along the same lines. But $1000?? For a record that has a run of over 2000?? No. That is just fucking ridiculous.

And I think it's ridiculous that I can't find one yet! I've had a few offers but they have been really beat up and I think $1,000 for a really close to Mint one is more than fair for the seller0

It's obviously ridiculous for you to continue to think that $1,000 will get it done.

Prices are insane. I blame it on a resurgence of popularity. I remember in 98 shows sold out in minutes in LA. But just 2 years later the Binaural tour tickets were available day of in San Diego and LA shows, even RA tour too. Being in college those tours I remember guys in the dorm laughing at going to a PJ show, calling them a has-been band, it just wasn't cool anymore. Thankfully that isn't the case anymore.
I was in college those years and remember not buying vinyl because I had a small dorm and didn't have my turntable with me. I remember when Avocado came out you could still buy RA on the website for $20, and Binaural was about $30 on eBay. I'm missing Binaural, Benny, LD and RVM from my vinyl collection because they al came out in that same time period of living in a college dorm and figured I may as well wait a couple years to buy them. Up until about 2008-2010 they were all still affordable, but I was living in a small apartment in San Diego or LA out of college and wanted more room before I expanded my collection. Back then it wasn't like today, they wouldn't sell out day of, and if it was sold out you could get it on eBay for maybe an extra $50. LD and RVM would sell for about $100-150 tops for a long time when they were released. Now something like Sevens sells immediately, then sells on eBay for $500 before they are even delivered. By the time I moved into a bigger house everything got crazy. Things I saw affordable for years and put off until I had room, mostly vinyl and posters, went up 5-10 times in value in just a few years. At the same time it went from easy to get tickets to being lucky to get tickets. I had no problem getting tickets for all 4 LA shows in 2009, not the case today.
Now I just kick myself for not buying it when I had the chance.
Either there's a lot of bandwagon fans of PJ and/or vinyl and I have to wait it out, or my collection will never be complete.
sll that being said, $1000 for Benny is insane. You could have saved yourself about $700 if you were interested 10 years ago. I beleieve it's a matter of time before the prices drop again.0 -
Wish they'd just reissue this damn boxset.I LOVE MUSIC.

I've been pondering for months now about selling off my vinyl. PJ and all. I just can't bring myself to do it. But I honestly don't play any of it that much any more and it takes up so much god damned space.
