Vinyl Me Pauly (store, exclusives, swaps, etc)

I remember the launch shenanigans. @Joe Mac is spot on.

Anthology was a decent gimmick with the monthly shipments and blind buying of titles with a podcast BUT the price made the gimmick hard to swallow. Blue Note was a fucking clusterfuck, wouldn’t have minded a couple of the others but they only got more expensive even when they removed the gimmicks that actually made them halfway interesting.

Take the single albums out of the box and you will probably play them more often. Doing this with all my box sets was a game changer for me.

yeah probably... when things are naturally packed in a box you automatically combine them together and try to listen in full... thus kinda ruins the original experience... probably the reason I'll never be able to talk about 69 love songs (physical media helps it a bit by splitting it into sides and discs but on streaming all that context disappears into the void of CONTENT)

List price was definitely high. Most ended up on sale at some point. miles, cadet, Grateful Dead, impulse all hit 40% off at one point when cam put everything including preorders on sale hah

probably listed so high because they pressed so much of them because they were scared of selling out.. which lead to less people buying them so they had to make them more expensive to break even
 
Miles was the only one I would’ve paid list price at the time.

I cleaned up during the sales, and tbh wish I picked up the ones I passed on at that price (Waylon, Memphis). I couldn’t justify picking up that much vinyl from one place in a short span. In retrospect though they were pretty damn cool.

Also, I’m crazy about keeping box sets separate on the shelf. Like I take out each disc in the Dylan Bootlegs. Otherwise I never spin them
