    Not to hijack OP’s thread, but.

    I get that people chase first presses, so I’m not trying to rain on any parades with this post.  But for those that do, I’ve never really understood why they do… unless that OG copy happens to sound the best or has some unique packaging / art / content that doesn’t make it onto future presses.

    Maybe it’s just me but being able to say “yeah I own a 1st press” has never been a massive flex in my books.  I guess it’s nice when it happens but for releases that are just standard black vinyl and basic packaging, printed again and again over the years, I feel no additional satisfaction knowing that I bought a record 10 years before someone else bought an exact copy at their local shop for $22 or whatever.

    In fact, I’ve often sold OG presses for a really nice profit, and then turned around to buy an expanded edition, or repress with better sound quality, or a cool variant.  So long as the sound quality is the same or better, I’ve personally thought of that as a win… but to each his own.

    I have at least 1 friend who is always on the hunt for OG presses, even if they sound inferior or are scuffed to hell and back from being handled for the last 20+ years.  My guess is that for those folks, there’s something appealing about having a “relic” that’s been around since day 1 of the album being on the scene.  And I suppose I kinda’ get that.  Chalking it up to different priorities for different collectors.

    Sometimes it is definitely sound and sometimes it is collector prestige. It is the same reason why I would love to have a first printing of For Whom the Bell Tolls by Hemingway, rather than my 27th printing. My first pressing of Blue Train is far superior to any other pressing I have bought.

    That's an impressive list!  How was Slotherhouse?  It looks dumb and fun, pretty curious about it.

    It was fairly stupid, and not always in a good way. One of those movies you have in the background while you're doing other stuff. I do like some ridiculous movies like Snakes on a Plane, Sharknado, Cooties etc., but this movie was more of  one and done. There were some funny moments.

  5. Just watched Haunt. Damn! I'm glad I didn't see that before I went to this scary ass haunt a couple years ago. There were very similar details in this movie that were also at this haunt. I was a little stoned when we went, but we were genuinely scared shitless during parts of it. That was a good scary movie.
