So I just got my Re-issue vinyls of Riot Act, self titled and Binaural and they were all sealed as where my complete box set vinyls were not sealed...
Really weird...
It is totally weird while only Backspacer & Lightning Bolt are the only vinyl sealed in the box set.
Yes, it is totally weird to have any sealed albums inside a boxset. Some people seem to think that all of them should be sealed just because 2 are, but in fact none of them should be if you're going off of what's normally done. I know I've never bought a boxset where the albums inside it are individually sealed.

All were sealed in the Beatles box.
There was a Powderfinger limited set called "Seven Deadly Spins" back in 09' that had them all sealed. Also Boxer Rebellion's boxset of studio works came sealed.
Fair enough. I've never seen it myself. I don't see why it's necessary. As for having only 2 out of 10 sealed... well, that is just plain old unprofessional.

Here's a question... Do you keep them sealed, or open the 2 records so they match the rest of the albums in the boxset??
The only way you're going to know if those two are coloured is to open them, so I'd say it's necessary if you're interested in the actual value/rarity of what you've got.

Agree, just weird only having 2 sealed.
They are sealed. Because it is first persings and is old stock

We know. It's just weird that they left it like that. They should have unwrapped them just to make the inconsistency of the set appear more consistent, lol. It's really more about optics.

Lightning Bolt isn’t a first pressing.
Well, technically. I personally think of the defect fix as a first pressing still, but I understand why others might not.

Are there any etchings or markings on the records to differentiate pressings?
I am really happy I bought my first pressing at 2013 Philly 2. It has no defects or sound issues. Did anyone else buy their Lightening Bolt at a show without it being damaged?

The represses had the roman numerals "II" or "III" in the dead wax on side A and "II" on side B. From what I remember side A was the bad side, and you can sometime find a pressing with the new plates for side A, but the original plating with no roman numeral on side B.
Wait, are there honestly people who expected these to be new, limited, and improved pressings of each of their studio albums... but limited to 500 and not mentioned at all?
haha come on.
Actually, if you read some of my earlier comments about the pressings included and my hopes of what could have been included... you could see my point.
And new "improved pressings" of titles happen without having been "mentioned at all". Secret or 'under the radar' re-cutting of records happen all the time.
Kev, I'm glad you mentioned the repress of Vs and Vitalogy. I listened to them and thought something was wrong with my system as it sounded sub par where other records sound great.
I'm glad my ear is still good and can spot a bad pressing.
I've read about VS and Vitology reissues sounding bad. I have the OPs and the reissues from 2011 and did side by side comparisons of each a couple years ago. I'm playing the 2011 Vitology right now and I still think it sounds fine.
Of course it's a little different than the original, but I wouldn't say it sounds bad by any means.
Can those of you who don't like the RI elaborate on what is specifically wrong with it?
I don't want to start a debate or argument here.
Now, I start this with.. you hear what you hear. Some will like, some will not, but leave it up to yourself to find what you like.
In my opinion on my setup, the 2011 NRP cuts of Vs. and Vitalogy (which are the cuts included in the box) are remastered with lots of compression, not as much as the 2011 CDs.. but its still there. Vs is the worst offender Vitalogy a little better, but songs like Nothingman still come across way overly harsh. With these remasters I just think everything is flat, you are not immersed in the music.. it is kinda thrown at you. With the compression, I think the top end sounds cut off, no air to the sounds. One way I try to explain my thoughts on this to friends sometimes is that.. with good sound-stage, when you turn the music up louder and louder, close your eyes, the music envelopes you more and more with less the music tends to push you back farther and farther. The dynamics and sound-stage are only a percentage of what you here on the original pressings. If you have originals, just A/B them to see what you hear. In my case, the originals are WAY better. I NEVER play the remasters.
Now to the box, I feel they fumbled this one a iittle... because now with more research I have seen that a SST cut and repressing from MPO for Vs and Vitalogy DID occur in 2016.... why these cuts were not included in the box ..I guess we will never know. But if they had, then you could have had a very respectable unified box, having all reissues cut and pressed at the same plant.
How are the SST/MPO pressings of Vs and Vitalogy?
Haven't heard them yet. Currently trying to track them down.
Are these the 2016 euro releases listed on discogs? How do they compare to originals and 2011?
No, the EU repressings are new cuts by in-house engineers at Record Industry in Holland.
The MPO pressings are in 2011 covers as much as I can get from my research, so really don't know how to recognize them without buying a new US and seeing if it contains the new MPO cut or the old 2011 cut.
Any luck tracking a spot down that sells these yet?

Email tenclub. I did. They will replace it, but you have to destroy the damaged goods and show them the destroyed goods before sending replacements. But - email them!
Mine had a lot of damages too. This cost a lot, plus extra customs charges and taxes and the vinyl looks like they were bought at a thrift store. Not my best purchase.
"Mostly I think that people react sensitively because they know you’ve got a point"
Reviving this thread as I finally dig into this box after a year sitting on the shelf. Looks like my number is high 400s and I have a SST Vs. cut but the 2011 NRG Vitalogy edition. My Lightning Bolt Side A has no etchings just stamped numbers . Side B has etching but no Roman numerals so no idea which version I received.

Fuck you, and if anyone sees someone throw fuckin' change right next to them, you have my permission to beat the fuckin' holy shit outta them."
