National Record Store Day

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

Thanks as always.
Willie Nelson
Teatro
Available: April 18, 2015

Location is everything. When Willie Nelson and album producer Daniel Lanois set out to create a cinematic-sounding album, Teatro, they took over a disused movie theatre in Oxnard, California, and pictured its dusty glory on the LP sleeve. Recorded as-live in situ amid the red velvet seats, Teatro sees Nelson working extensively with his frequent collaborator Emmylou Harris, who joins him for duets and on backing vocals on 11 of the 14 tracks.

The other major player is collaborator Daniel Lanois (producer of Bob Dylan’s Time Out of Mind, Emmylou Harris’ Wrecking Ball), who produces the album, plays guitar and bass, took the cover photo and wrote one of the album’s songs, "The Maker”, a stunning performance with glacier-thick vibe and where Red Headed Stranger masterfully meets the Brian Eno/Lanois classic Apollo.
Reinvention is key on Teatro, with Nelson revisiting a number of songs he first wrote in the 1960s, including 1968’s "I Just Can’t Let You Say Goodbye” and 1962’s “I’ve Just Destroyed the World” and “Three Days”. Though the songs are familiar, the sounds aren’t: Teatro found Nelson experimenting with rhythms and flavors as never before, from the Spanish-influenced “Darkness On The Face Of The Earth” to the double-drum-kit percussive groove of “My Own Peculiar Way”.

Originally released by Island Record in 1998, Teatro is issued here as it’s never been seen before – on vinyl. Pressed on gold vinyl with a deluxe, gatefold, ‘tip-on’ uncoated jacket, this is a chance to own this unique album in its most beautifully presented form.

Shogun Assassin Original Soundtrack Recording
Available: April 18, 2015

It’s not unusual for hip hop artists to immortalize something by sampling it, but few did so as extensively—or as effectively—as GZA in his use of snippets from Shogun Assassin on his 1995 album Liquid Swords. Though we know them as elder statesmen now, in the mid-90s The Wu-Tang Clan were the spookiest kids on the block, sharing an obsession with shaolin monks, B-movies, and soul-chillingly dark string samples. Producer RZA was a big fan and let the soundtrack shape his work on his bandmate’s solo LP.

“[The album tells] the story of a shogun told through different narratives and scenarios. It’s not a theme but more like a thread throughout the album,” GZA has said. “While we were mastering the album, RZA asked the engineer to go out and get it and bring it back to us. That’s when I watched it. I loved it immediately and thought it fit with the album well.”

The film’s soundtrack blends eastern melodies chiming out of futuristic synths, electronic beats, and bouncing disco bass lines introduced by a child’s ominous voiceover. It was neither Japanese nor authentic. It was, in fact, recorded and mixed at Icon Studios, Hollywood and composed and performed by W. Michael Lewis (of LA disco pioneers Rinder & Lewis) and Mark Lindsay, a man well known as the frontman of hit 1960s beat group Paul Revere & The Raiders. The combination produces results that are typical of neither and all the more intriguing for it.

Never officially released on vinyl beyond a limited promotional pressing, this is your chance to own the highly sought after LP. It’s sure to be of interest to soundtrack buffs, Wu-Tang lovers, Tarantino aficionados (who may recall Shogun’s homage in Kill Bill Vol. 2), and fans of experimental synth music.

LITA Zine Issue 7
