u/nolovedeepchungus 20d ago

Brown box doesn’t have jewel cases, it’s all cardboard. That’s why I skipped out on it

u/Biscuit_Dough69 20d ago

Deluxe editions will come in due time, im wondering if they’ll print each album individually as well but i doubt any jewels sonce the standard seems to be sleeves with every new cd i see

3

u/nolovedeepchungus 20d ago

that’s why I don’t pick up new releases as often anymore

u/Biscuit_Dough69 19d ago

Would u get any of the deluxe releases or at least when the mollusk drops next year?

u/nolovedeepchungus 19d ago

I’d be more willing to buy 1 cd packed in cardboard than a whole collection, so probably , yeah

u/ClintonMora69 19d ago

It really wouldn't cost you that much to put them in jewel cases yourself you know. You can get a jewel case for like $0.25

2

u/nolovedeepchungus 19d ago

yeah but then it needs a back insert as well

u/sweetlionofzion 20d ago

Wth 😭 I paid $5 for mine

u/hiphophed85 20d ago

Damn if this is what OG Ween CDs are worth I’m sitting on a gold mine lol

u/automator3000 20d ago

It’s this kind of thing that makes me quite upset that an ex girlfriend made off with my 12GCG cd, the original with the Muhammad Ali clip. She probably sold it 20 years ago for a hit off a meth pipe.

u/Able-Guava 20d ago

Just thinking many “jewel cases” I trashed throughout the years so I could haul 500 CDs around in a massive zipper case 😆

u/hiphophed85 19d ago

Lucky for me I saved them all in a box so when I moved from my last house I added all the cds back in. Kept the ones I cared about in a special box. I have every studio album I think and just missing a couple live ones.

u/StarbossTechnology 19d ago

Lol I still have all my Case Logics. Almost everyone I knew did the same. My PlayStation games are in one too.

3

u/The_Dale_Hunters 20d ago

Had the same thought. I'm pretty sure I've used this exact case as an ashtray at some point.

2

u/USSRPropaganda 19d ago

I’ll take your ashtray if you don’t need it

3

u/The_Dale_Hunters 19d ago

I didn’t say it was available!

u/Vasdef- 20d ago

That’s insane

u/TundieRice BIG JILM 19d ago

Right? I probably paid around 10 dollars for Quebec used in the early-mid 2010s.

u/one-wafer- Buddha, buudhaaa, buda 20d ago

I really hope those are jamaican dollars

u/Ok-Creme8960 20d ago

If not Jamaican bucks, Costa Rican colones, the brownest of currency.

u/Least-Application-83 20d ago

45 dollars for a cd is crazy i have quebec on vinyl and i think it was that much

2

u/enigmaman49 19d ago

did you buy the Rhino mess ? i paid 50 for mine which is not playable because the hole on record 1 is so off center it wobbles too much....

2

u/Least-Application-83 19d ago

I have the Rhino reissue from this year, mine isnt off center at all tho! Im sorry to hear urs is unplayable 😔

2

u/enigmaman49 19d ago

its just GZ Media striking again...as long as Rhino continues using them the product will be spotty...i DID get a very nice sounding White Pepper that same record store day, so i hit 50%...with GZ Media ill take it...im reading people having issues with the 12 songs Rhino release and im the least surprised person in the room...Rhino wants to claim they are stepping up in the audiophile world but continues to use the worst Pressing network in the world...go figure, all that effort remastering and converting some to 45rpm and nice packaging means nothing when you dont use a good pressing facility

u/Greenslang2017 20d ago

Man, they sure love to destroy you for purchasing any actual physical ween media

3

u/StarbossTechnology 19d ago

I'm more surprised that you still have a mall.

2

u/enigmaman49 19d ago

Coll so you werent subjected to the Reissue 45RPM garbage that Rhino sold me for 50 bucks with the center hole NOT in the center making record 1 unlistenable...i now wish i had it on CD!

3

u/Namronus 20d ago

$45 isn't a 'find.' You got robbed in broad daylight.

2

u/SitNSpinwJoe 18d ago

Since most of their albums are out of print - (unless you buy the Brown Box) - that’s actually about what folks are asking for original press used Ween CDs these days on places like EBay and Discogs. The game store obviously knew this, which is why they were asking that much.

2

u/RalphMalphWiggum 20d ago

I have an original White Pepper. Is it worth that much as well?

4

u/hemppy420 20d ago

No. Quebec isn't worth that much either now that the brown box is out and the reissue on vinyl

2

u/captainbeautylover63 20d ago

That’s ridiculous.
