    It only bothers me when there's no wider standard release. I like to look at and/or own the different limited edition records and all that, but as long as it's possible to get ahold of the core package I'm ok with it.

    Like Get behind me satan... Although I think that's finally coming

    I have a lot of Third Man releases... and I gave up years ago trying to collect all the limited versions. Like @DewieCox said, as long as I have a versions...usually I am good with that.

    Oh nevermind I see I can buy one for $249.00 or $399.99 on ebay. Do you think they would take $30.00 as the Best Offer. Honestly TMR get it right on so many other aspects of their business yet they keep putting out limited edition stuff that just gets flipped on eBay. They are a major culprit, it looks like a great record which would shift loads of copies anyway so why do they insist on tainting it like this.

    I don't see that stopping anytime soon because Jack White loves that shit. I don't know, but my guess is that he's not about to stop doing what he clearly considers great fun just because the masses can't "handle" the limited edition stuff. I believe that Jack does it because he enjoys the concept of rarity in general. Whatever happens on ebay, rarity in and of itself does have an intrinsic artistic value.
    Of course, he's a businessman too... I doubt he minds the furor/buzz that accompanies limited editions. It's a great marketing ploy. Everyone falls over themselves to get the limited pressing... but most can't get their hands on it, so everyone gets all excited and then defaults to the widely available version. The excitement sells more standard version for sure. Cha-ching.
    Ah no. No cha-ching for you. You didn't apologize for HRC. Oh wait... I'm mixing threads.

    In actuality, your post is dead on. I don't think JW minds this a bit. He is definitely into rare things.
    People say the same thing about PJ.

    I say "yes" to limits. When they print more y'all will start saying its a cash grab.

    So what is it?

    It's always about cash?
    I guess was I was saying JW is into rare things, personally. He has rare cars, rare record booths, recording equipment, etc. So he probably doesn't really mind the small market. Just my opinion.
    I think it's a fact, not opinion. His actions make this really obvious. He loves rare things, he also loves "first times evers". He's unique, and he openly enjoys other things that are too.
    With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. ~ Desiderata

    Finally listened to the PJ vault and it's great. Accidentally listened to side 2 1st.

    The Fallon performance was awesome.

    I didn't see an add to cart button. But that shop is confusing as hell to me.

    It is really confusing on where to sign in. But you have to be signed it to add to cart. So go to this page and then click login at the top. After you do, you'll go back to the same screen. http://thirdmanstore.com/vault/vault-novelties/jack-white-acoustic-recordings-1998-2016-double-lp-le?___SID=U

    And thanks everyone for the notice! I guess I'll have to live with a few copies of this.

    You need to be logged in to get it from Novelties. Remember Vault10 will get you 10% off. Postage was crazy to the UK though $34.50 but I couldnt risk missing out.

    That was my mistake too. Adding the sticker nixes media mail shipping in the US, which is kind of ridiculous considering they can just slide it in there with the vinyl.
