Almost 30 years long PJ fan here but new to vinyl. Is PJ20 soundtrack that is on gray vinyl I see posted around the internet an official release or a bootleg/unofficial release?

    It's not official but I bought a copy online from a record store in CA and it sounds great!

    In my opinion it’s a bootleg. 

    Discogs doesn’t have it listed yet but I’m pretty sure it’s an unofficial release. 

    Has anyone bought one? I was thinking of getting one and using it as a player instead of my official release but not sure if it’s a good recording.

    Because the music on it is the same, and now it's been confirmed that the sound quality is good.

    Yeah that's the truth.  If you get a cd rip on vinyl and it sounds like the OG, that is not a good thing.

    Of course @pearljim10!   PS - I see we are both cursed by "Made N1 MSG 98 and skipped N2"...  Still haunts me.

    Can confirm it sounds almost exactly like standard black.  Too close to even make a judgement call of slightly better or slightly worse. 

    Buy this one rather than paying $$$ on ebay.

    I just bought this version from the link posted above. I might have received a dud. The entire album plays waaay slow. All the music is off-pitch and Eddie Vedder sounds like he's on valium. I just wanted a "cheap" copy to spin, but mine is unplayable. I just contacted customer service, so we'll see what they say...

    UPDATE: I tested some other records, and something is wrong with my turntable. Might be the motor, but all my LPs are playing slow for some reason. Doh! My PJ20 gray vinyl is probably perfectly fine.

    Play it at 45rpm, maybe that’ll work.

    I tried that right away, but it just made 'em sound like Alvin and the Chipmunks. At least my kids might like it better that way. Haha.
