According to the emails I've received, I should be getting a new copy in the mail soon. So what to do with the old one? I don't have to send it back.

I've seen people make wall clocks out of vinyl, which I guess would be an okay idea, but perhaps a little hokey. maybe melt it down and make a candle? what else can you do with an unplayable record?

Or do I hold on to it because 10 years from now people will be paying $300 for "original damaged LB fan club vinyl" on ebay...
I still can't figure out how to change my username...

    This would be the only one I would hold on too...This will be worth a lot to collectors. Like a misprint on a baseball card.

    So 'JzP' has something many collectors will eventually want.

    A miss print is one thing but that would be like a baseball card cut with the package, nothing special really.

    I respectively disagree. Any error in production can be worth a lot to collectors.....im just saying there is no way in hell I would make a bowl out of the ones that have extra labels or missaligned centers.


    Now if it has pops, skips, any shit like that...yea those are worthless and can be made into a bowl.

    Well I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for collectors to pay tons of money for those...
