Tennesse Fire & At Dawn Vinyl

[chris]

Jeffro, how does MusicStack work?  I went there looking for a vinyl copy of At Dawn and didn't see one listed.  Where could a person get At Dawn on vinyl besides ebay, if money wasn't an issue?  Thanks.

Anyone else think that At Dawn sounds even more magical on vinyl? I didn't notice it making as much difference on the Tennessee Fire vinyl.  But At Dawn is so simply gorgeous on vinyl.

I agree completely.  Too bad every time I play it, I suck a little tiny bit of life out of it.

you can't think about it that way chico, I have thought about things like that all my life. You've got to love what you have while you have it and while you're here to love it. You never know what tomorrow brings.

[chris]

was At Dawn on vinyl issued on Darla or Wichita? I'm assuming Wichita is the UK label that released it on vinyl, but just wanted to make sure.

[Kory]

Darla and Wichita.

Words to (try to) live by.

Well, the good news is that when I allow myself to play it, it is a real treat!

[Kory]

try is right, I still feel that I have to conserve things though.

Oh shit.  Ebay has At Dawn on vinyl was demos disc for $129, Buy it Now!  If I wasn't so broke right now I might snatch it up.  I've never paid that much for any piece of music.  i don't think i could justify it.

Oh and he has the tennesse fire for 129 buy it now too.

[chris]

alright, I broke down and bought "at Dawn" for the 129.  I've been wanting this thing on vinyl for so long, i just didn't want to take a chance of seeing the price be even higher at some point in the future :(  Anyway, the guy i bought it from says he only played it about 2 times and it's listed as Nearmint condition, and first pressing from darla (was there any pressing but the first?) and it's got the demos cd.  Anyway, hope it arrives in one piece and it's everything i'm hoping for  ;D.  anybody seen it go for similar prices or higher?    I still need to get ISM on vinyl as well, but this was always the holy grail, it's the album that introduced me to MMJ and has always been my favorite, and easily in my top 5 albums of all time, so i guess the money shouldn't even be an issue, although my girlfriend is gonna give me shit next time she glances at my credit card bill :o

For those of you who are more familiar with Vinyl than I, I have a question.  If the band decides to do another pressing of AD or TF, will the value of the originals go down, or will they maintain 100% of the value since they are "limited originals"?

I do not have an expensive stereo ($100 Denon turntable, middling Onkyo Receiver and ancient Kenwood speakers I bought at auction)  and it sounds way better to my ringing ears on vinyl.  So, if you have a decent setup, you'll get better than you hoped for. Plus, you get larger cover art. Even four years or so ago the Darla At Dawn was going for about $100 on Ebay.  I don't plan on selling my copy, but it's nice owning something going up in value (as opposed to stocks today!).

I would expect it to take a hit on value.  I believe it will retain 100% of its value as a collectible, but take a hit on value as a music delivery mechanism.  Those who just want to hear "At Dawn" on vinyl, but are not really collectors will surely just get the re-release.

That being said, as more and more fans jump onboard, the value will probably creep back up.

[...], and first pressing from darla (was there any pressing but the first?) and it's got the demos cd.

As far as I know there haven't been other pressings of "At Dawn" besides 1,000 copies on Darla Records in 2001 which all came with the demos CD (as well as with 2,500 copies of the CD - Darla only), and 900 copies on Wichita Recordings in 2003 which did not include the demos CD.

As discussed before, only the first 1,000 copies of The Tennessee Fire came with the 7" single, but I don't know how many have been pressed above those 1,000, but there are more for sure (as I have had one without the single). And there's also the issue from 2003 on Wichita Recordings which was limited to 900 copies.

First or limited pressings are in most cases of more interest to collector's, regardless how many 'other' copies have been made. Of course it depends on how collectable a band/artist is. When, like with MMJ, there are no other than first or limited pressings, these are not only of interest to collector's, but will also gain interest from other buyers.

actually, i think i'm the only one left in this thread without a copy.  Do you know how difficult it was to tell Chris about that buy it now and watch him grab it?  The search for the great white whale continues...

[chris]

Hey Dreams, sorry about that.  I knew you wanted it, and having known that you'd wanted it for a while, I wouldn't have bid against you, but luckily I didn't hear about anyone screaming for that specific copy, so I wasn't conflicted about buying it right away.  I appreciate the heads up though, I had been in that auction for the one that's at $60.00 right now, but didn't want to go through the stress of waiting it out when that other was a guarantee.  There's not much time left on the one that's up there now though, and it's still holding at $60.00, wonder where it'll end up?

[vespachick]

$103.  ;)

I also don't have either TTF of At Dawn on vinyl.  I'd love to have them eventually.  However, I did just get It Still Moves off ebay.  Literally, it just ended but a minute ago.  Sorry if anyone else on here was after it.  

[Kory]

If someone ends up fighting me for the TTF vinyl on ebay right now with the 7", all I want is the 7" and we can work a deal for the album... I promise! Do me this one favor, please.
