I knew this would come up eventually. Do I think they will be repressed? Most likely, and mdg seems to indicate it, but what he said is no confirmation. That's all I'm saying, just semantics. And I do love the records which is exactly I have very slight negative feelings about the repressings (and this is not something Boc specific). By "property value" I'm not talking just about monetary value, that's relatively small beans even for a poor student such as myself. I'm talking about the intrinsic, emotional and personal values those records have for me. I collect records, and those ones were I'd say are even the cornerstone of my collection. And this is not something I can rationalize, but I can't fake it away either. The repressings don't bring anything new to the table for me, yet they make something I already have slightly less "valuable". Of course I'm not moping around going "Oh no these records are now available for everyone I'm not special anymore!". It's just a viewpoint I wanted to bring to the table, and I think this post should be a closer on that since I don't think there's anything more I can say: great to see them reissued, but ever so slightly negative opinions from a completely personal viewpoint.
Note so self: make sure to express your view correctly from the beginning so you don't look like some sad bastard.But the only value of music is monetary?
Of course not, I explain that in the block of text above. In fact I'd say it's merely secondary considering how much money I've used for it. Also the records are (to me at least) more than just music. If I cared just for the music I'd just buy digital.

This must be a joke, right? Represses are mainly for those who missed the original releases in the beginning or for those who just became a fan and would also like to have the back catalogue in their personal collection. And of course for regular prices.thepastinsidepressant wrote:how about the repressed vinyls only be sold those who own the original.
that way the elitists get to remain elitist and resell their extra copy to reclaim what they spent
originally. theres no other argument for it
