National Record Store Day

There are some records I actually want this year...

The Field - From Here We Go Sublime
Glenn Jones - Welcome Wherever I Go
Teenage Filmstars - There's A Cloud Over Liverpool
Life Without Buildings - Any Other City

where's the list?

http://exclaim.ca/News/record_store_day_2014_massive_list_of_exclusives_announced_so_far

This one is cleanest I've come across. There are 3 pages.

that michael chapman lp is kind of an interesting choice to re-release, i guess. wonder if it'll come with the instruction booklet that has the tunings for all his songs in it.

god damn this shit is tiresome, like the world really needs limited 180g reissues of late 70's Aerosmith albums...

yeah i don't see a lot that really appeals to me
what's up with the ghostbusters 7"!?

Right. I was surprised to see four releases I'd actually want.

don't need them, but i'm glad to see The Moles and Cardinal on that list.

I don't know - this actually looks like way better offerings than last year.

I'm sure the consensus here is basically "that's not saying much".

● Neil Young - Cow Palace 1986 (LP)

Is this official? I thought it was a boot (or at least grey market).

Hmm... not sure.

This list might be more informative:

http://new-vinyl.blogspot.com/2014/01/record-store-day-2014rsd-7-april-19.html

That list says "Cow Palace" is unconfirmed.

Ah, thanks, that makes more sense.

wait rocks is a great album though

... that I can find almost anywhere for $5

technically I guess it's not "late 70s" though, my apologies :)

please share this. anticipating a big day:

I can't wait to flip all those. Gonna mine the FLACs first of course

Coming Soon To A Rundown Storefront Near You

http://www.numerogroup.com/images/image.jpg

Numerophiles near Chicago, New York,
or an airport-

In just three days, Numero will crack the seal on our fourth annual pop up store in Chicago. A week after that we’ll bring it to Brooklyn. We’d love to see you at either or both. Bring a friend or three.

The details:

April 19th, 9AM-5PM
2579 N. Milwaukee Ave. Chicago, IL 60647
Additional information:http://on.fb.me/1l1tDd4

April 25th-27th, 12PM-8PM
110 Meserole Ave. Brooklyn, NY 11238
Additional information: http://on.fb.me/1eymNNR

The fine print:

Join us in Chicago as we unload tens of thousands of CDs, LPs, 45s, books, shirts, magazines, cassettes, DVDs, video tapes, and all other manners of miscellaneous debris clogging up our office. We’ll have deleted items, damaged stock, and our trio of Record Store Day releases:

Dinosaur Jr.

South Side Story Vol. 23

http://www.numerogroup.com/images/product_images/web/ned-doheny-get-it-up-for-love-bw-what-cha-gonna-do-for-me-1.jpg

We’re doing something a little different in New York. One of our warehouses is teeming with stock, and in an effort to liquidate much of it we’re selling everything at blow out prices. Legal won’t let us say how low, but you’ll be surprised by how far you can stretch a Ben Franklin. We’ll also have the aforementioned damaged, deleted, and RSD stock.

A few more thoughts:

We accept cash, credit, and maybe a check if you don’t look too squirrely. Bartering is a fun idea. Do you work for a coffee roaster? Restaurant we can eat at later? A record store that wants to stock up? Ask the guy in the periwinkle blazer.

In Chicago, we’ll be reanimating our years-dormant pirate radio station WTNG. You can listen all day at 89.9 on the FM band.

Alright, alright. We’d sign off with something like “hope to see you there,” but who are we kidding? We know you’ll be there.

Yours,
TNG

fuck

Lorin Stein - Editor, The Paris Review:

Chris King, the "aural archaeologist" behind Angry Mom Records, is known for his blues and Cajun archive, but at a recent Paris Review party he brought out some rare 78s of northwestern Greek shepherd music—a genre with which none of our guests were familiar, and which blew us all away. One track in particular lingered in the air, the shiver-inducing "Epirotika Mirologi," by the violinist Alexis Zoumbas. I can't wait to hear it again this April when King releases his vinyl LP of Zoumbas recordings, "A Lament For Epirus 1926-1928." ~ Wall Street Journal, March 21, 2014

Alexis Zoumbas was the "Robert Johnson" of Greek Epirotika, the hypnotic mountain music of Northern Greece, an expression that is just as raw and emotive as the Delta Blues. This record captures the sublime beauty and sadness of these powerful, otherworldly instrumentals by what was Greece’s and New York City’s finest traditional violinist of the 1920s. The LP will be released on April 19th (a Record Store Day Exclusive) on the Angry Mom label. A CD version will be available later this year. Artwork by Robert Crumb.

Whoa, very neat. Got to remember to keep my eye out for that.

Being the current pollrunner, I should bring this up:

Heavens to Betsy Calculated LP (1000 copies...contains exclusive bonus track never before released)

Yeah, and been wondering about that Mastodon set too. Also, several listed here--the most extensive list I've seen---incl Grateful Dead's Live At Hampton Coliseum, billed as the first official release in any format, Drive-By Truckers' Dragon Pants EP, J Spaceman & Kid Millions, a couple Everlys LPs, Norman Greebaum's Spirit In The Sky, which is really groovy electro-boogie, rec to fans of Silver Apples and the Dead, several Rough Guides, esp. Psychedelic Bollywood and Latin Rare Groove Vol. 1, Electroconvulsive Therapy Vol.1, and Velvet Underground's Loaded, available in "pink, black and white splatter vinyl" (sure hope that means all three colors in the splatter).

the dead thing is already selling for 70+ on ebay so if you see it you should "grip" it as the kids say.

if you see the cake box set grab that too it's already going for 300+ and that's just gonna go up in the coming week. my investment tip of the day. cake, r.e.m., and lcd boxes all selling for 300+ right now. they are the hot tickets.

how the hell are people getting this stuff, or is this just jumping the gun type ebay listings?

some are pre-order sales. some people take pictures of the stuff on their coffee table. so who knows?

http://www.ebay.com/sch/Records-/176985/i.html?LH_Sold=1&_from=R40&LH_Complete=1&_nkw=rsd+2014&_sop=3

This just gets more and more annoying every year. Can't we just make it about parties in the stores and buying cool records and in-stores, instead of it just being a day for eBay flippers?

bustin' makes me feel weird

What are the 'rare dance mixes'? I had the original 12" when i was a kid, and it had some intrumental mixes and stuff.

i went to this a couple times. never again. all of the record stores can go out of business. (minus scott's).

(and any other ilxor's)

to be nice for once i heard this was really worth getting:

I'm planning to visit my local indie record shoppe tomorrow just to hang out with whoever's there, I'll buy any special releases only if they appeal to me personally and are truly reissues of rare but good stuff (usually from artists too obscure to interest eBay flippers), not limited-edition "collectable" releases of music that's already readily available.

(usually from artists too obscure to interest eBay flippers),

From what I've seen in previous years, there's nothing too obscure for these assholes. More than once I've seen guys in line ask for "one copy of everything you have on the list". I mean, I don't know how you can do anything about that beyond limiting one copy per customer, but it's disheartening and completely spoils my enjoyment of the day. I'd be fine if there were absolutely no special releases and just a general celebration of record stores. Maybe the "special" items could be just free things like label samplers and whatever.

all i want to get is the glenn jones release but i'm not willing to brave the lunatic fringe of record collector scum to do it. hoping it'll be around a couple days later.

yeah the glenn jones one is great, the alvarius b./sir richard bishop split is great. but those do seem like the sorts of things that won't be too hard to come by after record store day? i could be wrong.

all i want is solar motel band, bardo pond, and maybe alexander tucker but not for $$
i'm guessing i'll be able to find/hear these otherwise -- the BP cover of "here come the warm jets" did not electrify me tbh

probably gonna skip the whole thing unless there are some in stores i wanna see, haven't checked that yet

yeahhh, the solar motel live thing is worth standing in line for. record stores i've contacted around here have not ordered it tho.

i'd be driving around town like a gd idiot and asking for something i probably have to explain to every single person
i just want to hear it! it's a live recording right?
