I picked up a purple Ten at Target. I don't need to listen to it. Maybe it's a collectible for me, but I'll probably just hold it for a long time and eventually sell it.

If that's the case, is it better to leave it in the shrink wrap or should I go ahead and open it?
Do no collectors have an opinion about this? I feel like leaving it in the shrink wrap is worse for the jacket then if I opened it.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

I have no idea what the vinyl collection rules are.

I don't want to buy your purple Ten. But if I did, I can't imagine shrink wrap or not would affect how much I wanted to spend to have it.

FWIW, even the after-market price of the purple Ten is just the sticker price right now; it doesn't seem to be very limited. Not to say that the value will not go up in the future, but it's not terribly in demand at the moment.

I would have paid a bit more if my OP Binaural were still shrink wrapped and never opened.

Maybe shrink wrap will pull in a sucker a couple years from now.

So you personally would have paid more than zero dollars if there was shrink wrap? Or you would have been a better boyfriend?
okay let me start over you dick.

IF MY LOST DOGS VINYL WAS SHRINK WRAPPED/UNOPENED I WOULD HAVE PAID MORE FOR IT

The self-released Protomartyr live record arrived this week and sounds killer (despite a pretty gnarly warp).

Having a devil of a time with U-Turn's drive belts lately. First one wore out (granted, after 3+ years) and became too loose to stay on the platter. Most recent one lasted only a few months before snapping. Hopefully third time's the charm?

I know it’s probably been discussed but how does Vinyl Me, Please work?

I kind of want 2 of the records of the month. The Strokes Room On Fire and Quasimoto The Further Adventures......

The Binaural OP interrogation is one of the funniest exchanges in RM history. Good shit, trag.
