No answer necessary, of course.
Its my preferred way to listen to music. Why is that so strange? I love collecting them, i love pulling them out and putting them on a table and letting the needle head downward. its fun. I enjoy it. Im not arguing sound quality, im just saying that I enjoy this process the best. And i do love the big artwork and all that jazz. Thats okay, spenno.
I understand wanting to listen to a studio album on vinyl, particularly one that was originally sequenced for release that way (eg. records that have a well thought out side A and B, etc.) It seems like a monumentally weird way to listen to a whole live show, though - changing countless vinyl sides and whatnot.

I wish they'd make them digital only, perhaps then we'd get more than one per year.
Vinyl is the least attractive bootleg format. Too bad the fanbase fetishizes vinyl.
wonder why?
Flipping a record or changing discs after just a few songs seems horrible. It must take you out of the flow.
oh for sure, I never understood live shows on vinyl. same with comedy albums.

In your opinion. The fact that it's only available in mono should be enough of a reason not to complain.

BLG released his clearer transfer of the CSB source. It's nowhere near "bad." Some of you forget what bad sources sound like.

Sure, but he's referring to the much-circulated mono radio broadcast that has been frequently commercially bootlegged over the years.
I don't think whether or not a good audience recording of a show exists should be the yardstick for selecting Vault releases, I'd rather they simply focus on great performances regardless of whether they're seen as desirable or rare shows.
(Of course, I'd get rid of vinyl releases altogether if I were in charge...)

Eliason has tried to resist the current trend to mix albums as loudly as possible. He likes his mixes to have variation, but his product does have to stand up to other modern products. In the end, he hopes fans are successful at resisting the "louder is better" trend.
Eliason has been recording shows since 1993, though he doesn't necessarily have every show. He, the Ten Club, and the band are always looking at what can be modernized or released, but Tim B. did note that sometimes management limits the ideas put before the band so their excitement level always stays high for anything that is released.
The much hated loss of Rockin' in the Free World and Sonic Reducer from the Drop in the Park vinyl was attributed to space. Adding those shows would have required a second disc and driven up the price of the reissue.
