    I agree, there are plenty of other releases waiting in the wings that I would rather buy first... but I still ordered the Return to Greendale box set without thinking twice about it.

    Bring on the Archives II box!

    Why doesn't he re-release Greendale... I would buy that on vinyl.

    I'm sure it'll come out eventually as part of the rerelease series. You may have to wait another 10 years though!

    I guess drip-drip-dripping the re-releases out like Nintendo does with old games on their virtual console-thing has some economic reason...

    ... but I wish Neil would do it faster. Finally getting "Life" re-relased won't be an event. Just get the 80's albums out onto the market in one orr two go:s.

    I'm still thinking about collecting all the re-issues (studio albums)=.. I guess I could find them all.. but it will be so expensive.

    Its a big financial commit to re-pressing stuff alongside releasing new albums. Especially for a guy who has 45 studio albums and probably just as many live albums and just as many albums ready to go in the pipeline. As much as I want a big reissue campaign, I want an archive campaign too. SO I get why Warner Brothers is all over the place in terms of what gets pressed. 

    Seeing as they are up to the 80's with album reissues, I'm guessing we'll see Vol 3* of the archives before we see the 80s records repressed. 





    * which I think will come much sooner seeing as they seemed to have ditched the video portion of the archives.

    ...but should I start collecting the represses of the studio albums?

    Most of the ones I have (original, some 80s repress or some german press or whatever, who cares) of the albums sounds fine... a few are second-hand noisy etc...

    Man... need to decide what to do. And before they skyrocket in price.

    I have OPs for every album, but I also bought the Vol 2. box because IDK, I just wanted those albums. But now I wish I bought Vol. 1. These reissues are amazing.

    Arc/Weld and Unplugged are the only records I don't own.

    I have the reissue boxes and they sound great. I’d recommend getting them.

    I think the next vinyl box is still delayed by the labels. If there are 4 records to a box, the next one should have Hawks & Doves, Reactor (both Reprise), Trans and Everybody’s Rockin’ (both Geffen). 
    The Reprise records have been reissued individually but no box yet.

    I wonder if Arc will be included in one of the vinyl boxes. It wasn’t released on vinyl, but would be nice to have.

    The reissuse boxes are more expensive on the second-hand market then just buying the individual albums, are they not?

    Where they much cheaper on release than buying the albums one by one?

    cheaper buying them one by one, but I think the box sets are 180g.

    So my Side B of this is Nowhere is kinda scuffed. I'm open to buying the new press. Has anyone picked it up individually recently? Is it a tip on sleeve?

    Those heavy cardboard sleeves. Where it looks like paper wrapped around heavy cardboard and glued (Where you see the seams glues around the edges. Its the old way of making sleeves. 


    vs.

    a printed sleeve where its thin cardboard and you can tell the sleeve is printed directed to the cardboard. This is most sleeves manufactured today.

    Easy Street sleeve (tip on) vs. the Unplugged sleeve (standard). 


    Or the original Vs. , erm, well vs, the 20th anniversary reissue sleeve 


    PJ has done a lot of tip ons over the past 10 years.

    You mean like one of these with the wrap around cover?
