billya Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 That's crazy. That guy was also a pretty poor interviewee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patthickey Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 That was very interesting. I love the idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monsterrod Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 That's really cool. I didn't think I'd dig it when I started the article, but seeing the wear and tear on different copies and the doodles and notes on others really sold me.

problemchild Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 The interview makes him sound like a dick. Haha, hopefully just a flaw of transcribing... Kinda cool idea though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 And people think variant collectors are silly. Thus dude takes the cake. And he does come across as a holier-than-thou dick with his answers and turning the questions around with semantics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mclz Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Anyone have the picture of like 100 copies of Whipped Cream & Other Delights? Either way this still beats that out. Curious as to how be catalogs non-numbered pressings. I'll sell him mine haha. EDIT: didn't read the interview before i posted this. Didn't notice he only collects the #d pressings.

BuzzersonKillwell Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Enjoyed this. Is English is first language, if not it sort of explained the curtness. Either way, cool concept. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 I like the way the dude answered the questions. I think he was trying to keep the focus on his show and not on anything else, which makes sense. This is pretty interesting. The Side A x 100 was pretty cool, I'm curious to hear the planned final one with every record played at once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

almightyseancore Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 i got an old numbered copy that's in pretty decent shape. and a more recent copy pressed around 05 or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faith Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 That's super cool. Haven't listened to the audio clip of side A yet, not possible ATM. Looking forward to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebiglebowski Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 You guys are missing his true intention -- to corner the market on the album and jack up the price, then sell them on ebay for big profit.

One of the record stores I go to here has a wall of all kinds of Whipped Cream & Other Delights pressings and parodies on it. Not sure if that's what you're talking about or not though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerseydave77 Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 This is right by my office. I might go in there with my copy then tell him he's a greedy fucker and can't have my copy. I find nothing artistic about keeping music out of the hands of those that might enjoy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is that keeping music out of the hands of people that might enjoy it? Also, this album isn't hard to find at all.. Either on vinyl, CD or as digital files Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseydave77 Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 If you have almost 700 copies of any one album that makes 699 people that might want to own that edition shit out of luck. This edition is special with the photos etc and you can't compare it. So my statement stands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 How is what this dude is doing called art? I fail to see the artistic angle or merit of collecting a shitload copies of the album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottheisel Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 If you have almost 700 copies of any one album that makes 699 people that might want to own that edition shit out of luck. This edition is special with the photos etc and you can't compare it. So my statement stands. There are more than three million numbered copies in the first pressing. I think the rest of the world will get by just fine even though some weirdo owns 700 of them. imaxcowboyx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really? Did you not look at the numerous photos of how the copies had been altered by their previous owners? He's not so much an artist as he is a curator of a gallery. I thought it was really fascinating. I love seeing records that were treated like regular possessions, not collector's items. People doodled on them, wrote love notes on them, colored them in, etc. -- it's a testament to human creativity. kyacrash, kriss and BuzzersonKillwell 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 So then if I doodled and altered all of my copies of Jane Doe and displayed them in a gallery I'd be an artist? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
