Hey All,

I was hoping to get a bit of advice from the PJ community with regards to purchasing some vinyl. I view the boards on a daily basis to keep up to date but I rarely post (as you can tell). I have done a few B & P’s which have worked out great and my collection is starting to grow.

I am finally in a position where I can start to purchase some PJ vinyl but I am looking for the best way to do it. EBay is littered with vinyl but I am wondering if that is my only (or best) option. Also, the reissue of Into the Wild – any word on this lately? Someone on EBay is offering them but as far as I know they haven’t been released yet.

Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated!

Woody

Try gemm.com, it's a great resource for buying second hand vinyl. Also, don't forget to post about your collecting experiences in this thread:

I used to shop gemm too, great advice. eBay is easier for me though, and even better, buy them from your friends.

Every once in a while regulars will try and sell to other regulars here. I got Riot Act for a very fair price that way.

I've got some Pj vinyl I can't really let go of unless it was to trade for somethin i really wanted, posters n such. Haven't done the trade thing in an age though.

I'll trade you my Hartford 2010 poster for Live On Two Legs vinyl.

Pearl Jam vinyl is nice to look at but the sound quality sucks, despite what people have deluded themselves into thinking. You're better off spending your money on other stuff. That's my advice.

It is already out there. People who had pre-ordered it, are receiving it already.
You can get it from the "famous auction site", or by a few other online stores.

Kinda true, but mastering only tells part of the story.

Yield, Riot Act, and Lost Dogs all sound better than the cd's. The rest, have their moments.

ITW has been reissued and it seems really nice.

If mastering only tells half the story what tells the other half?

Not really sure. I guess just the difference in the sound reproduction of each medium.

The mastering is more than half of it. Backspacer sounds EXACTLY the same on vinyl as it does on CD. Why? Because it's the same source.

Oh yeah, no doubt. Wasnt trying to imply otherwise. I actually think the cd sounds better, sadly. The vinyl's even muddier and mashed up to my ears.

I think they all sound the same except for No Code, Vitalogy, and the Ten Reduxe which sound better to me on vinyl.
