Hi,

Sevens boxset was in my mailbox today.

What a surprise to discover another cheap set of records ...

Since 2011, all Xmas singles are very thin, thinner than any previous Xmas (even those from 1991...). I was upset by that but I haven't complained about that, because they were xmas gifts ( membership's gifts that we pay each year lol, ...)

This time, it's a different story, for a boxset that cost 55$ , with a presale 3 months before any shipping, PJ clearly makes fun of us.

Thank you guys.

    Sell it. Make a nice $300+ profit off your initial $55 investment. And then go listen to the exact same songs on a nice thick 180G album.

    or Keep it and enjoy the artwork and listen to some of the tracks in 45 rpm.

    For the price sevens is going for you could even make it 180 gram Red vinyl!

    You paid $55 for music you could already hear in multiple formats. There are a lot of people laughing about that.

    @Medozk : i don't care about my 55$, but i have to talk about the value that they put on it..

    @bootlegger10 : i collect PJ vinyls since the beginning. It has nothing to do with the multiple formats available. I think that you can understand that.

    While I get your point, one could also just download it, and never pay for it. Collector's aren't ALL about just hearing stuff, eh?

    Weight is overhyped honestly and is really a marketing ploy to new members of the community.. Some of my best records are 140g and they blow away the so called 180g audiophile versions of the same album. Why? Because of stuff like mastering and pressing and plates and etc etc.

    180 g does have its true advantages but most albums being pressed these days arent going to bring them out. To its credit Sevens sounds a little better than my replacement LB.

    @cp3iverson : true, but a very thin vinyl record will be destroyed by your phono cartridge only after a few spins ... and these records are way thinner than 140g ...

    Whats the difference between the old singles and sevens??how many grams we are talking about?
    "...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".
    "..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."

    OK great ...

    but i don't want to hear people singing STBCircle or people saying that vinyls are super cool, etc. if you don't care about the vinyl itself.

    Always ends in argueing. bottom line .......Vinyl rocks, if you dont like it ...cool..... if you like to save $55 also Cool. But perhaps in the future keep it to yourself.... That would be especially cool

    I own a copy. I'm saying that we deserve to be made fun of for paying for something we already have access.

    I certainly don't promote or partake in flipping of PJ vinyl. But i do kind of regret not buying this when i had the option to do just that and make an easy 200$...
