    why in god's name would matt's son sell that, and so below market value? i guess maybe it's the same as me having a signed cassette of my mom's barbershop quartet. but still. 
    Your boos mean nothing to me, for I have seen what makes you cheer

    Cheers and enjoy the music.

    Awesome story and score!  Congrats!

    I saw one comment on the video asking for suggestions on how to display it.. I think you should have your framer build a shadowbox with UV glass, maybe 2" deep (interior), and acrylic/wooden supports built into the floor, to rest the box on.  Add some LED's to the top inside edge if you're feeling adventurous! 

    Maybe also a lock to the door, and internal screws behind the record to secure it to the wall.   ;)

    Thank you! My favorite things are Music (Pearl Jam, The National, Kanye West are at the top of the list), RPGs (Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy, etc.), Star Wars, and Hip hop in general.

    Awesome find man!!!

    I had one believe it or not! It was also a single digit. I got it professionally framed. Framer made it where you could also view the back of the album. Unfortunately I had to sell it. I’m a stagehand & work goes by seniority. At the time there wasn’t much work & I had to do what I had to do (kids). I met the person I sold it to in person, he only lived in the next town. It was about a 40 minute drive. It couldn’t have gone to a better person. I still keep in touch with him. He’s on here a lot, maybe he’ll send ya a picture of how it’s framed. Wish I still had that! It’s so special! Currently I’m only missing two PJ records & that’s one of them.

    I'd love to see how it was framed up

    I expect to see photos when it's built!!  :D

    The more I think about it, the more I like the idea of securing it to the wall thru the backing (easier, too) and having a locking mechanism. 

    You gotta protect that puppy (hence the UV glass, too)!
