was talking to a local record guy who used to drop a grand or two on this crap every year and flip it, and he told me that he can't make nearly as much anymore b/c everything starts off so expensive to begin with

That's what happens, local record guy

is there a list out?

i'm always morbidly curiuos, plus every year there's this one fuckin thing that still drags me out

metallica demo tape m@tt?

ork reissue?

Are they really splitting up the Killing Joke live at the Hammersmith Apollo record into two releases, instead of like...a double LP?

I did hear about the Metallica demo! Is that good?

i will never attend a fucking record store day again... last time was two years ago.

that ork thing actually sounds cool too fml

there were like 3 years in a row where there was an arthur russell reissue (calling out of context, love is overtaking me, world of echo) that i went out for
the television live at the old waldorf got me out one year, the big star original version box set of third/sisters lovers
i dunno always some shit

ork singles has a ton of amazing music -- will be a fucking crime if it's not released in a more accessible format.
i dunno, there's always cool stuff floating around amidst the RSD bullshit, but I'm not gonna go.

I'm guessing they'll probably wait a while and do it as a 2LP or something? I hope? I can't fuck with singles box sets.

Yeah hopefully. As an object I'm sure that set will be lovely but as a listening experience a pain.

m@tt otm
buy a different colour scheme of world of echo every year

A few interesting ones way on the bottom.

Der Grohl is the Ambassador this year.

Should have mentioned that's the list of releases in that link- only just realized the url indicates nothing.

Gallagher picture disc (the comedian)

You still need to be more specific, the Oasis guy or the guy with the watermelons?

lol

Same dude, right?

OK, here's the "official" list:

http://download.recordstoreday.com/free/RSD_2015_RELEASES_WEBSITE.pdf

Here is what I will (half-heartedly) try for:

Larry Young - Selections from Larry Young in Paris - The ORTF Recordings
Brian Eno - My Squelchy Life
V/A - An On-U Journey Through Time
Doc and Merle Watson - Ballads from the Gap
Bonnie 'Prince' Billy & Broeder Dieleman 7"
The Pop Group - Versions Galore

Maybe the Sun Ra things, though I have Sun Ra LPs I've bought this year that I haven't listened to yet.
Maybe those Brain May soundtracks. Anyone heard them?

Gotta say, if I didn't work at a record store, I'm not sure I would bother. For my tastes, this is the least interesting year yet. This is also the first year I'm not planning to buy the Grateful Dead RSD release, even though I kinda like Spring 90. A 5 LP box though? Can't justify it.

Also, I heard rumblings of a Feelies 7" box set, but didn't notice it on the list. That would get me out, but still wouldn't get me to wait in line with dweebs looking to score / flip Run The Jewels vinyls.

think the feelies thing you're thinking of is the ork singles set on numero, which includes a (previously unreleased) feelies 7"

oh, yeah, forgot about that ork thing! Hmmm. Might get that if there's one available. Like I said, my heart's not really in it this year.

think I'm gonna roll in late, with a cup of coffee, looking for My Squelchy Life

Yeah, I'd go for the Ork thing. About a year ago I was looking them up on Discogs. So, I deserves one.

Mind you, 16 singles.

How much?

I'm going to shoot for, but put absolutely no effort into getting:

Carcass - Choice Cuts
Of Montreal - Snares Lustrous Doomings
Hagerty Toth Band - Qalgebra
Built to Spill - Untethered Moon
Koes Barat - Koes Barat

Figure we'll see plenty of the BTS and Koes Barat in Seattle. Would be fine with just those two.

That Ork Box is going to be a nightmare to find and sell for a billion dollars by lunch

Thesedays, the flip price *is* the list price!

the Giant Sand
Valley of Rain (30th Anniversary Edition)
Fire America
2 x 12" would be nice to get But I bet it would be at least $30 plus $25 postage even if someone could get me one

I want that one too.

Also going to try to get:

-William Tyler
-Mark Kozelek
-Polaris
-Shugo Tokumaru (Night Piece)
-and maybe that Bedhead live album.

i was at my usual record spot today and asked about the Ork thing...the owner seemed pretty glum about the availability of that one, he didn't think he was gonna get any and thought it sounded like it was gonna be super limited :/

Well, it is the one that everyone's talking about.

I looked it up and it said "Local", so what does that mean, New York only?

There's some regional distribution part of some record store day stuff but never been real clear, cuz he thought another store in mpls might get it

If an ilxor buys that thing, they are hereby obligated to distribute rips of the Feelies single to anyone who asks

Hey, if its me I will be that pleased...

Having said that, guess how much it will be? I don't know but if its $200 I wouldn't be surprised but I won't be getting one,

I hope there's eventually a CD or LP comp of these singles seems dumb not to do that

I wonder if anybody could give me some tips.

An American friend has charged me with seeing if I can pick up a Pere Ubu box and two Holger Czukay 10 inch releases for RSD, however I've never bought anything specifically for RSD before.

What exactly should I do? randomly pick a London record shop and hope for the best? Wait until the Monday and try? I know it's pathetic but I'm at a bit of a loss.

I would find the biggest participating shop you can and be prepared to show up early and wait in line. That's about all you can do unless you know someone who runs a shop and is willing to hold copies back for you; if it's run in the UK like it is in the US it's kind of a crapshoot as to whether stores actually get all the things they've ordered so even that may not work.

Also, it's kind of hard to judge how sought after those two will be, so...

- Say they are very sought after: Pick a random shop that you know has a nice selection of new records and get in line early before the shop opens

- Say they are moderately sought after: Pick a random shop and try to pop in sometime in the morning after the store opens. Have a few stores as back ups if the first is out.

- Say they are not sought after: Pick a random shop and yes, go Monday.

Czukay is probably not top of many people's wish list I imagine, the Pere Ubu box looks kinda cool tho'.

That list is zzzzzzz
I'll probably go in one of my locals the day after and have a look at the leftovers, but I'm not queuing for any of this stuff.

For perspective on how much shit gets ordered btw, the bigger store across town is still marking down and flogging RSD stuff from 2012. I got the early Beefheart 2x7" for $6 there last year.

20 copies of the Machine Head 10"? Check.

As a record shop employee, amen to that! Only the really hot tickets truly disappear on the day. A lot of things that do sell out in shops on the Saturday can be re-ordered on the Monday. We've still got Zappa, Rolling Stones, Marianne Faithful and T. Rex 7''s from last year's RSD for example!

Rsd 7 inches can be so dumb, like a 45 of w popular songs that never even existed in the first place
