My brother and I just found the one in Scotti's in Summit, Jersey today! Nearly two weeks later. Isn't that crazy? I don't think they had it out for the whole time though. So fucking happy we got it.

I've been meaning to come on here and profess my sheer joy at getting one of these. Totally not trying to rub it in the face of those that didn't, but I was so stunned that it was still available at the end of the day when I went to go nab it. I got the one that was in Coeur d' Alene, Idaho. I teach in the area and it happened to be a day that I was in class so I couldn't break away to go get it. I kept checking Facebook all day long to see the clues and to check if it had already been claimed. I even let class out a little early (hey, I was just being nice to the students...no ulterior motive  :wink:) and made my way over to The Long Ear record store. I had to bring a few items per the rules set by the store and then I had to look around for a few before I spotted it up on top of a door frame. I was blown away when I asked what the cost was and they told me it was free. So I bought a Dead Weather LP while I was there (to show my gratitude to the shop), got my picture taken with the album (which was all they were asked to do other than not sell it), and headed home. I had already ordered the vinyl, and had received it a few days earlier, so I debated whether to open this one. I gave in and it was worth it to see this unmarked, blue vinyl album come out of the sleeve. So cool! That was the one and only time I've played it. Thanks to Jim, the Long Ear, and everyone involved!



P.S. I think the people that would sell this for a profit are despicable. Things like this should belong in the collection of a true fan and they shouldn't have to pay some ridiculous price to get it.

First off, congrats Dumbgun and all you lucky folks who scored one of these.  Too bad they didn't include Pitchfork in Concord, NH.  I also wholeheartedly agree that putting these on eBay is unfortunate.  Many fans, even those who could use $250 pretty bad, would never think to sell one of these. 

Not everyone, though.

The fact that my heart's beating is all the proof you need.

This guy isn't terrible, I'm pretty sure 10-20% of that went to charity (Red Cross, I think).  He made a post about it on reddit and he was trying to get some money together for a wedding or something.  I posted about driving 100+ miles to not find the one in my state and he offered to send a couple Merle Haggard LPs and a Wes Montgomery album because he admired my dedication.  I'd still rather an actual fan got it, free of charge like it was intended, but this guy at least had his mind somewhere in the right place.
some get stoned, some get strange, sooner or later it all gets real.

Shit, someone is putting one out there for Buy it Now of $999.99 or b.o.!

I JUST came here to post this! Booooooo!!!

Makes me terribly sad. I was lucky enough to have found one of the 50 and have many other "Rare" MMJ vinyls, and even though I was recently laid off, hospital bills out the kazoo, student loans, CC bills, etc. etc. etc., I can tell you what will NOT be going up for sale!

I don't necessarily "blame" the people auctioning off the albums, I just wish that they had fallen into better MMJ-Fans hands.  :embarrassed:

Yeah, I'm not saying these are evil people.  Assuming they found it fair and square, they can do whatever they want.  I DO wonder if some of these are being sold by people planted by the record stores to make some $$$.  I wish I'd had a shot at one, but nothing came close to my neck of the woods.

KARMA UPDATE:

Still on Ebay. Still Unsold.

May it remain that way...or let it transform into a bear/unicorn hybrid and fly its way back to the printing press, and then anonymously given to the absolute #1 MMJ Fan via the gods of the Jacket:
