I'm not sure why I never opened it when I first go it. I got one the night they went on sale and have kept it sealed every since then. A few months after I bought it I lost my job, which put me in a pretty tough financial situation, and I figured that would be the last PJ possession I would give up if things got really bad. So I've kept it sealed until now. I've paid off all my credit card debt over 3 years (not going to say how much, but I could have bought a very nice new car with that money), so as my reward, this is going to be the night I open that big red bastard.

I'm also going to buy that super deluxe mother fucker and open it too!

Congratulations! Do it. It sounds as if you earned it. That's some tough times you went through.

Are you going to buy the super deluxe on credit?

Too bad the actual music on the record will never sound as good the packaging looks.

**sorry.... personal distaste for that performance***

I finally opened my ITW vinyl a couple of months ago and was very happy I did. It sounds fantastic, and the packaging is brilliant. As much as these are collector's items, they will still retain significant value even if they are opened and gently used.

That's so cool man! Well deserved... :thumbsup:

Do any of you accidentally know a site containing information on all the PJ album releases (vinyl,cd, how many copies, different releases) etc etc?

I would be grateful. Oh yeah, and a couple of months ago I got No Code on vinyl (EX/EX) for only $10! The seller obviosly didn't know what he was dealing with, huh? 8) Is anyone interested? I'm now looking for the "avocado" 2006 on vinyl. I've missed the chance of buying it for $35 and now I regret it badly. :roll:

There is this site: http://www.xs4all.nl/~groenf/discography.html but it hasn't been updated since August 2005.

I haven't opened mine yet! I've already experienced the vinyl play twice with headphones at a friends house, watched the show on DVD. I have two versions. Version one in dolby digital; version two via DTS! Plus I got a CD/Flac/Mp3 etc..

Still tempted though ...

I love the Benaroya show. The setlist isn't perfect, but a lot of the performances nearly are. Ed sounds great throughout the whole thing. I love the sound of that room.

Of The Girl, Fatal, All Or None, Down and Black have perhaps never sounded better than they have on here.
