I don't care about the color or packaging at all...just release it!

Also, then you can buy a second copy to spin on your record player and you don't have to ever take your dick out of the original's spindle hole.

Everyone wins.

ah, that's the funniest shit i have read on this board in a long time.



rerelease please!

I think both sides of this are valid. For the people who don't own a Benny, obviously a reissue would be great. For the people who are fortunate enough to own one already, regardless of the price they paid, it would obviously be kind of a bummer to see something so special and sought-after become diluted with reprints. Even the bitter few who are angry about the inflated prices of these can surely see that aspect of it, right? As a long time collector (and listener) of PJ vinyl, I think the thrill of collecting and obtaining something so beautiful and rare is why people do it. It's what turns a hobby into a passion. (Here's where I might upset some people...) With the Benaroya Hall LP becoming the "holy grail" it has, everyone now wants one, but I don't think nearly as many people would have become so obsessed with getting a Benny in the first place if they could've just picked one up at will. That's why things are always so easy to buy new before they sell out. Look at PJ20 and the backpacks. Neither one of things sold out immediately, but when they did the prices skyrocketed. I've bought every PJ LP when they got released with no problem, but once they were gone, suddenly everyone wanted them. As a Benny Hall owner, I can say I would have no problem with a reissue because I've never collected for profit, but I'd totally get why some people wouldn't want that.



While we're at it, how about a reissue of Vs on translucent blue vinyl? Or better yet, I'll trade my Benny for one!

It's hypocritical that a band who preaches vinyl so much to their fans doesn't re-release the rest of their back catalog. There doesn't need to be grand announcements. The Foo Fighters did their fans justice by just re-releasing everything. All of their albums are $20 now. Nothing should be limited but they seem to enjoy that.

Again, release Benaroya on black vinyl in 4 stamped sleeves. That way people can still have their special boxset and all that.

And it's even more outrageous that a band who preaches vinyl so much doesn't press their vinyl from their highest quality source. We all lose in both regards. I'm not even sure why PJ vinyl is so sought after after learning that.

I don't the original would be all that special if they did a barebones rerelease. That aspect of the original would be gone. You'd have a first pressing, but the 2nd pressing would dilute it.

When Benaroya came out it was very limited edition in the first place. 2000 hand numbered copies. It's not like the other PJ albums where the scarcity of supply was unintentional. The Benaroya release was limited on purpose.

If PJ were to rerelease it (even if barebones) the original set becomes ways less significant and sought after. It would lose its collectors charm.

It would be like PJ rereleasing old concert posters.... they wouldn't be rare anymore.

I'm torn on this one. While it would be great for every pearl jam fan to acquire the rare PJ items. Collecting is kind of fun, and it feels legendary when you acquire a holy grail item. If they went back through their catalog and reissued every rare item that ever came out it would kind of take the fun out of it for collectors?

i just started getting into vinyl heavily in the last couple of years or so.. if i would've been into it at the time and aware it was being released i would've definitely ordered one but i was very young and not even in the 10C.. so it would be very cool if i could get the chance to have one..
also, i don't think people should pay more than 100$ for a record (i get it if it's big boxsets and such..)..
please re-stock it. Thanks!

I was too young to know anything about the stock market when Apple came out, otherwise I would've bought a bunch of shares. That "missed the boat" logic can be applied to anything, but that's not how the world works.

I don't think they will re-release it. It's limited release was always intentional. It's not like 2000 copies was alot when it was originally released. It sold out in about a day? I don't think there was ever an intention to give it a widespread release.

It's different than the other albums. The other albums are only rare on vinyl because vinyl demand was low when they did their pressings. The demand built up over time as Vinyl became more popular making them rare.
