2017 Pearl Jam Complete Vinyl Box Set

I just knew at least one booklet would be signed. AND it's a Boom variant!

I don't want to offend anyone, but I'm just curious and I'd like to ask a simple question..
so, all these records inside this box are the regular reissues that you could get for about $20-25 or so a piece? so, about $150 for the box alone and the COA?

Yeah, so $200 less than you’d have to pay on the secondary market right now.

Secondary market right now is sort of irrelevant, isn't it?

No, not if you want the box to House the LP’s in. Not sure how it’s irrelevent at all.

Backspacer And lightning bolt are no reprints 

I would have been surprised if they were.

They should have been. They should have just released the reissues, and waited to do a proper box set. Hate to say it, but this product is half ass, kinda thrown together.

How is this different from say the Petty boxes? 

Well the Petty box contains 3 represses of limited AAA versions and new AAA cuts of all releases recorded to tape. I believe only a couple 3 of the the releases were recorded digitally and all were recut.

The PJ contains 4 albums currently available, (there have been recuts of VS and Vitalogy in the market), but they apparently wanted to include the abysmal earlier 2011 cuts. (Mine has not arrived yet, so I can not confirm runout etchings).

Yield an No Code are the same released a few months ago, the opposite of what Petty did. (The Petty set sold individual copies after the box set was issued)

So you have the 3 reissues (Binaural, Riot Act, Pearl Jam) and the Original mix of Ten compared to the Petty set which was one of the best AAA products released in recent years.

The incredibly rare 593 out of 500.  It's not even limited.

Whaaaaaaat? 593/500. Doesn't make sense.

That is actually unbelievable..... or is it. Sad

Well, all this confirms to me is that I will need to get out and hunt down the re-cuts of Vs and Vitalogy.

All of the records were unsealed, except for Backspacer and Lightning Bolt which were still sealed, which I thought was a little odd?

Well that's BS,  where else can you sell opened merchandise without declaring it. 

Every record vendor on the internet. I get the occasional new unsealed record. Doesn’t happen too often, but still fairly common.

Fairly common? Not. I've got over 500 records and never received an opened record that I didn't know was opened before hand. I don't know of anybody else that has either. Could be played already for all you know.

Well, I’m telling you I’ve received plenty of new records that weren’t in shrinkwrap or sealed some other way, and I’ve seen others in the “new” section at record stores I frequent. Not as common as it used to be, but not unheard of. 

for the price of the boxset, it's pretty unheard of
