I'm jealous... I want the Capital G single. But your collection is Vinyl... I don't even have Cap G on cd..

Capital G single on CD doesn´t exist.. It´s not even a halo.

Is this ( [tinyurl.com] ) really special edition? Iguess that´s the normal vinyl,huh?

don't be so sure

It exists as a promo CD. But it was never commercially released in CD format.

Just a few shots of the collection on the walls around my home, mostly in my bedroom.

This is a picture of "SIN" still sealed in plastic with it's original $4.99 Price Tag from a place called "Positively 4th Street.
Also, a custom "Scene Missing" wall clock I found on E-Bay.
And a bootleg copy of "The Downward Spiral" on Orange Vinyl.


My Favorite corner of my room. "Broken" US Promo and UK Promo. "Happiness in Slavery Advanced Copy", "Wish" 12" Single. "The Downward Spiral" is a PJ Harvey UK Misprint


In this corner of the room, "With Teeth" sealed. "Closer To God" UK Promo, "The Slip" Sealed. "Head like a Hole" (Dark) Test Pressing (NIN and HALO 3 hand written on the center of the disc), "The Perfect Drug" promo 1 of 3 and 2 of 3. On the dresser, "Broken" press release. (1 of 2 I have.)

"Down In It" Sealed, Pretty Hate Machine, "Head Like A Hole" Promo, "Fixed" UK, "March of the Pigs" promo, "The Day the World Went Away", "Things Falling Apart" Sealed. On the dresser, the second "Broken" press release. I showcase the orange pamphlet on one dresser and the write-up on the second dresser. However, both have the orange pamphlet and the white paper write-up.


NOT PICTURED: On the fourth corner I have "Broken" UK, and "Closer To God" UK with part 2 still sealed. Also, the Guest Recognition Daily from when they stayed at the Ritz-Carlton and I had the opportunity to cook for Trent. Here it is pictured below:


This pic is a leftover, featuring albums already named above. Between the "The Perfect Drug 2 of 3 and 3 of 3 is this poster:

In the hallway outside the bedroom door, in 12"X24" frames are "With Teeth" and "The Downward Spiral" Promo, opened to show the INSIDE of the album covers.

In my office at work, another copy of the "ABSOLUT NOTHING" poster and a complete set of "The Spiral" album flats including both "Fixed" and "Sin". At home, my other flats are waiting to be framed and hung at work. These include: "Year Zero" #04032, an Original "Broken" album flat with "NINBROKEN" on the back. "And All That Could Have Been", "Things Falling Apart" and "The Fragile" on cardboard and sealed.

More Pics to come. Enjoy for now.

Thank you. It's kind of like a NIN Museum. Nice to look at, but DON'T TOUCH!

Next to the Downward Spiral poster, is my computer desk with 2 tower speakers baring NIN stickers and each one has a different hat on it. (See my post on page 46 of "NIN Collection" One of the hats (Further Down The Spiral) recently sold on E-Bay for $150. I found these 2 for $7 for the pair in mint condition. My original "Further Down the Spiral" hat, I wore out, not ever knowing it would have been worth so much in 10 years. I was lucky to replace it for much less than my original hat ($25 in Mansfield, MA in '96) Then there's the collection of T-Shirts I have in the closet. It's crazy to see a T-Shirt worth so much. Then there are the ones I have that you just don't see. The CD's, the Cassettes...when I first bought all this stuff, it was just because I liked the band and the music and the clothing was cool. Now, I collect it to ensure it stays in great shape for whenever I decide to either sell it or pass it down in the family to someone worthy of having it and maintaining it. T-shirt frames are relatively expensive at $50 a piece. Although I one day hope to purchase some for my more expensive ones, like "Broken", "Fixed", my 2 "Now I'm Nothing" shirts, "Sin", and "ninety-nine" shirts.

I just don't collect NIN though. I also have "Alice In Chains" "Black gives way to blue" and "Jar of Flies/Sap" double album and my favorite, an original 1st pressing of Beastie Boys "License to Ill" vinyl I bought in 1985 at Zayres, which was once like today's Wal-Marts and Targets. I was 9 years old and in the 4th grade. Apparently I had good taste back then too.

Cool collection man.

Thanks for the compliments and thanks for looking!

FINALLY!!!! It appears that I have FINALLY finished collecting the Halos in 12" vinyl format. I just won an auction on "The Fragile", the only one that appears to be missing from my collection. It took me 11 months to get them. I didn't get ALL the versions I wanted (For example, I settled on the American version of "The Fragile", but REALLY wanted the UK promo version), but I took what I could get and they all look mint, especially framed and hanging on the wall.
I can't wait until "The Fragile gets here!!!

I own The Downward Spiral re-issue double vinyl album.

Have you given that thing a spin?

so: quick question for those who have it.

how would you honestly rate the listening experience of the fragile on vinyl?

the lack of some of the better crossfades (wretched/witt -- wtf?) has me wondering if its as good as the CD.

for backstory: may be getting a nice record player setup for my bday and am considering this as one of my vinyl purchases, just wondering what people's thoughts are.

I like it enough to own both the American and European versions. Cross fades don't bother me, neither do the lack of cross fades. As a DJ, it makes it easier to mix songs without the interruption of another song fading in.
Now if you were complaining about the RED VINYL "The Fragile" Bootleg, then yes, poor sound quality would be an issue for me on something I might have spent $80-$120 on...which is why I didn't buy it. You can't compare it to CD quality, since CD's offer a totally different experience as far as clarity and cross fades are concerned.

Also...no responses on my mystery "Halo 3"?

Just curious, but do most test pressings look like this? It's the only explanation I can think of. Why else would it be hand written? The music is exactly what's written on the sleeve, it's just the middle sticker is hand-written.

Thanks guys for any and all help with this one.
