A copy of Ghost went on ebay for $150 the other night. Should I have gone for that?
Lawn Boy $1211.11 - 20 bids. Still has 3 days left. Hey, at least it’s sealed. 
I should hope Ghost on vinyl isn’t really worth $150!! I mean it’s cool and all, but this big money sh!t is ridiculous.
That’s how I feel. Had to pass it up. $150 for ONE album is ridiculous.
I feel that way about 2 soundchecks. That’s just two tracks. Not even songs. Going for $100. No thanks.
I was able to score 2 soundchecks for $45 (I felt a little guilty for spending that 
but had to have it)
That leaves me with Lawn Boy (resigned myself to the fact that I’ll have to wait for re-issue) Ghost & Farmhouse left to complete my collection.
ebay is a funny thing. Right now, people are just feeding off this vinyl frenzy. Let the dust settle and prices will drop.
Now if I could only find that Pork Tornado album 
Just scored party time… 
WHO HAS MY WHITE TAPE?
ha!
Party Time, to me, got exponentially better once I had the records.
Good luck w/the White Tape … its ebay prices make me wonder if we’ll actually see Junta come down some. Prices on the non-Pollock seem a bit lower. One went for 95.+4 shipping earlier today.
Apparently there are hundreds of Junta vinyl out there which were improperly packed with two side C-D and no side E-F. 
Shoudn’t that mean the reverse is also true? Someone’s got extra E-Fs.
…
Mine’s okay.
I can’t imagine how hard I’d have freaked if I got two record 2s.
I mean I can, … I just don’t enjoy doing it.
I would imagine…
Some people have posted about this - they said they returned to the record store to address the issue, but it’s not really the record store’s fault. One dude said that the owner of the store contacted the distributor while he waited and apparently they are aware of the situation 
How to rectify it, I don’t know, being a limited release and all. And think about how many people are not going to open theirs. How would you ever know if your copy has been affected or not.
I know DMB had an issue like this - from what I heard they took all the names and addresses of the people it affected and sent them a replacement disk in just a sleeve.
But this is a whole different animal being a RSD release and everything.
I am truly jealous of you, sir. Well done. Two soundchecks is pretty cool, but again, short. I LOVE Inside In on vinyl. I’m always looking for more Phish, and think I may just get the horseshoe curve (what a great album!).
Thank you! I got 'em all at retail. Except for Moss, which was a Christmas present … Eric/clevername helped my sister pick out a gift that year for me, I think he did good. There’s a signed $1 bill inside the jacket too.
Actually that dude is responsible for my Farmhouse and Party Time too. Party Time he nabbed for me at SBIX, and Farmhouse … I think he worked at a record store when that album was new and grabbed it for me when he still didn’t yet know that Phish was awesome.
Oh & I love Horseshoe Curve too … what a wild rubber jungle of an album. Actually I really like all the solo LPs I’ve got, they’re all pretty cool.
They had Party Time at my record store on RSD a few days ago but I was so upset about the Junta price they were charging that I left without even looking. Kind of wish I had kept my cool cause I’m sure there was some other goodies in there.
Sold for $1,426.00 
Wowee.
I have to wonder who spends that kinda dosh on a record. It’d probably be me if I were rich. Is it a credit card charge against better judgement? Mom’s ebay account??! Maybe it’s a guy whose wife still doesn’t know he’s just done that. Here I am feeling bad that the Pollock Junta was $80+tax.
Non-Pollack Junta has come down some in price on ebay. I think one went for $77 yesterday.
Yeah, probably some trust fund kid - just topped out the market though, he’ll have to wait another 20 years to make anything off it.
I saw a Pollock version buy it now for $155 - didn’t last long though.
When it all comes down to it, it’s a piece of wax that plays sound. And the sound is sound we’ve heard before. Paying a thousand dollars for that is ABSURD. I’ve made some big purchases on ebay, and I always have that “YES I GOT IT” paired with “yes . . . I just spent a lot of money”.
So, anyone ever see vinyl versions of Rift, Hoist, Billy Breathes, Siket Disc, Round Room, or Undermind?
I would LOVE it if they released an album especially made for Vinyl. Like the “Ghost” sessions or Victor or Siket disc combo. Something that fills up the discs and doesn’t have blank sides. Something that clearly flows and is designed for the vinyl setting.
Thoughts?
^It would be cool, but it would be surprising. My feeling is that now that Red Light has Phish, they’re enlightening the band with all of these money-making ideas that they used to not be so concerned with.
Now they do about 1/4 of the touring that they used to, and I doubt the Joy is selling through the roof. They are in an odd niche where EVERYONE who cares about their music knows how to get on the internet and download it for free.
So in short, I very much like the idea of them releasing the old stuff on vinyl, although they should produce more so people don’t get screwed over it. But I don’t see them putting the time into a release that is going to solely be on vinyl, though.
The blank vinyl is ridiculous. I mean sure, there’s a pretty picture on it, but that picture isn’t as pretty as Union Federal would be.
Either way though, kids are happily lapping it up:
Oh, I totally agree. I can’t stand the fact that they waste all that space when they don’t have enough room on a side of a record. It’s one thing to not have a full side, but a BLANK side? That’s just silly.
I think the vinyl idea spawns from the Two Soundchecks thing, meaning: we’ll continue to buy re-releases on vinyl, but give us something special. Give us studio sessions that no fans have. I’m surprised Red Light hasn’t thought of that.
Like you said, they know that Phish fans are rabid for their music and can get pretty much all of it from the internet. But there’s music - special music - that isn’t live, but that’s taped, waiting to be translated into cash.
I’d buy it.
For sure. Maybe Record Store Day is the problem. Just release it on a random Tuesday and eBay wouldn’t be flooded I bet.
