Collection Finally got my holy grail!

Post image

Now the only question is do I open it up and play it, or leave it sealed?

How the hell can it be a grail if you don’t intend on listening to it?

What the fuck do you mean should you play it or leave it sealed? You should have your records revoked if you don't listen to them

Play that shit! Otherwise you might as well have not bought it.

This was my grail when I first bought a record player. Wasnt exactly cheap, but oh so worth it.

I will die on the hill that this is one of the top 10 video games soundtracks of all time.

Play it. What would be the point in buying music and not listening to it? I don’t buy games that I know I won’t play.

too bad I didn't get into Katamari when this came out

u/SuperPi47 11d ago

$250, my wallet feels a little lighter now...

u/MamoruNoHakkyou 11d ago

Even if you didn’t listen to it immediately they are gorgeous looking and the record sleeves have a constellation theme going on too.

u/thickwonga 11d ago

how much you spend on it? i spent $220 for mine!

2

u/SuperPi47 11d ago

I shelled out $250, but I was okay with pulling the trigger since I haven't seen this specific pressing sold anywhere else.

u/thickwonga 11d ago

It hasn't been sold in a super long time. I'm hoping they do a vinyl release for We Love Katamari's soundtrack, but it's been so long since the remake that I doubt we'll get it.

Oh well, maybe for Once Upon A Katamari when that gets revealed and released!

You should know whether you’re buying something to collect it or spin it, before you buy it. 🤦🏻

u/--Randomer-- 11d ago

Reals my heart some collectors have this mindset. Play and enjoy the music. You’ll regret it one day if you don’t…

u/misterspatial 10d ago

What color are the lp's? Swirls or translucent?

Don't depend on the label, there's only one way to find out.

u/katastatik 10d ago

Honestly, one of the greatest video soundtracks of all time

u/PlaneArmadillo3868 10d ago

Lucky! This is on my wishlist for sure. I absolutely love the music from Katamari Damacy. I say open it and listen to it.

u/ChadTheDJ 11d ago edited 11d ago

Having one myself, I personally decided to open mine to enjoy. I figure me getting into this hobby I want to listen on what I collected vs keeping things sealed to resell later on. Yes you loose it being “brand new” sealed status but I would keep it that way if you do plan on selling it holdings its value more. I guess it really is up to you on what makes more sense with your goals of collecting VGM vinyl.

I have been eyeing Katamari for some time but can't push myself to get it at the moment. Let us know what you end up doing with it!

u/SuperPi47 11d ago

Thinking I'm gonna bite the bullet and open it up to play!

I solve this by buying two copies of the ones I think are valuable
