***ISO: Soldier Field LP for arq***

sliver wrote:

my opinion is that they reprints and make new original copy.The original Soldier field was sold out years and years ago.

How can one tell one from the other? If you have the original copy that was printed year's ago, or the latest reprint?

Doing some searching on the LP. Found this out but no answer.

Any thoughts on this item?

For the past year these Real George Inc people (inc. the ppl. @ Vintage Vinyl) have just been rolling out sealed copies of their Soldier Field Lp's as if they're still pressing them. On top of which they are keeping up with market prices and increasing them accordingly.

Although one of the nicest Pearl Jam pieces around - I still find these people particularly shady: especially with this test press item.

I won't go as far as to say that what they're selling is not legit... I'm sure we're going to see some guys (I have 'tim007footy' in mind) pay outrageous top dollar for this; especially if this test press is #1 of 10.

To all the PJ record collectors out there: are you sure VV & Real George pressed 500 of these? And why do they always seem to have new/sealed copies at hand ready to sell every 3 months? And ultimately, what is your take on this Soldier Field test press business?

Cheers! jlf

p.s. Who ever purchases this item should demand for a signed letter of authenticity.

Yest it was on black vinyl, and if i recall correctly the jacket was plain white, the seller said that only 10 test prints and he had a few, some were given to "executives" and insiders.

Rare da day. You wouldn't know how much they were going for?
Ah sweet vinyl.

well is 1/10, if Benny hall goes for $600 and there's 2000 of them, so 10 special copies of an already expensive record... The maths don't lie! But economist do! :geek:
