Fleetwood Mac - (Alternate) Tusk

guessing that would be the bonus disc of the 2CD reissue

great, more digitally sourced & poorly pressed vinyl reissues!

how about . . .

TOMORROW

What did you want, what did you get?

i wanted: an end to this bizarre hipsto-conservativism, i got: disappointment

Happy Hogmanay!

i see they are selling lp picture frames now - you can just chuck those pesky black discs inside the cover away and enjoy the real experience of vinyling!

Shit they've been selling those forever

i wanted: an end to this bizarre hipsto-conservativism

Shit I've wanted that for a while now. But I find it interesting to see what people are actually after. Sooooo much crap they churn out every year and somebody's buying it...

I forgot this was today, had thought I might stroll along to the record shop and the comic shop opposite later on for a relaxing Saturday wander but now I know that "relaxing" isn't going to happen I guess I'll stay home

(If I do go I'd be looking out for the Acid Guru Pond, Blanck Mass and Cavern of Antimatter records and then probably deciding that they each cost twice what I can justify spending and putting them back. Not sure if those really were the best 3 choices or if I lost the will to keep reading after C in the alphabetical list...)

The stuff I want - The Fall single reissues (on Superior Viaduct, I think?), the Joe Strummer "Gangsterville" 12" - will be there tomorrow with the rest of the leftovers. I don't live in an especially hip place.

I'm going to go and see what fun used vinyl they put out. The hordes are focused on the exclusive releases anyway so I won't be too bothered.

happy record store cinco de mayo folks

hope everybody is supporting music by getting up and standing in ridiculously long lines for the same fucking tacos you can get any other day of the year

viva la raza!

I'll be the contrarian: Collecting stuff is fun! It's a nice distraction from my pretty depressing life! This happens once a year and it's always nice to see a few other faces I haven't seen in a while! The store near my house is having a band I like play in the store and giving out beers!

But honestly, it wouldn't be Record Store Day without a bunch of Central Casting cyber-record store clerks being awfully cool about it all, so do your thing!

I'm going to go and see what fun used vinyl they put out.

this.

also, yes, the Fall singles

and the Legendary Pink Dots EP

record store day is fun if you live in a chill town with a nice spacious record store and everyone is cool. record store day sucks if you live in new york city. people line up and shit! bonkers.

i don't sell any RSD stuff but i had a good day. it was a good Saturday, basically. i had fun.

Also, RSD sucks if you're nowhere near one of the shops.

So, those who buy to sell on eBay give those guys a half-chance of getting something..

I have bought stuff on eBay like that, and usually for notmuchmore than the list price, so hey.

After seeing the $11.99 price tag on those Fall singles, I remembered that I don't really love any of those five Fall songs.

I did get the Joe Strummer 12", though.

In the UK they were priced at £12.99 which is like $19. And the Bardo Pond LP was £30, or $42.

Which is why RSD for me is a lot of "huh I'd kind of like that - but I can't justify buying it, not even if nobody else buys it and it's still in the shop a month later and they knock 10% off". But I mean someone's buying it so good luck to them, I hope they enjoy it and I hope the bands and shops and some cool smaller labels get a decent cut of these chunky pricetags.

£12.99. The fuck, you can buy a Step Forward original for less than that!

Was gonna say.

also seek out the 'I wanna punk rock' step forward singles box, they both in there with other singles.

I'm theoretically in favour of RSD, but more and more it is just looking like an excuse for people to try selling things on eBay at ridiculous prices for something that came out yesterday.

How much were the Husker Du - In A Free Land 7" singles?

I got two things yesterday, and I'm very happy I went out:

Antena - Camino Del Sol (Joakim & Todd Terje Remix)

East River Pipe - Goodbye California

£12.99. The fuck, you can buy a Step Forward original for less than that!

LOL, not in the US, starts at $35 on Discogs

all those SV singles are $10 in my stores, w/ no sales tax.

But again, I like-but-don't-love that period of The Fall. I mean, I guess I really do love "Repetition," but, err, I dunno. If they were $7.99 I'd have bought 'em both.

Sorta regret passing on this:

www.discogs.com/Various-Jazz-Dispensary-Cosmic-Stash/release/8398856

Went back today to see if they still had any, but nope.

I'd really love to have got the Blanck Mass record but I guess it's gone. There were only a few and I'm not queuing up for it. Fuck that.

I saw a few of those Husker singles today, £12 or thereabouts.

Dave Matthews Band – Live At Red Rocks 8.15.95 [4LP Boxset] (150 Gram Metallic Silver Vinyl, download, limited to 2500, indie-retail exclusive) LP

Sublime With Rome – Unreleased Demos 2017 [12”] (Colored Vinyl, hand-stamped, hand-numbered/limited to 1500, indie-retail exclusive) 12″

lol

Toto – Africa [12”] (Picture Disc, die cut, limited to 2500, indie-retail exclusive) 12″

y'all are sleeping on the POT-SCENTED Peter Tosh vinyl

Africa picture disc has been around forever

how about this
Gram Parsons & The Fallen Angels – Nilsson Schmilsson [LP] (150 Gram Yellow & White Split Color Vinyl, 12×24 poster, download, limited to 3000, indie-retail exclusive) LP

OK all I learned from this is that I was dumb not to buy those sealed copies of Sundays - Blind I saw at the record store a year or two ago for $20 each.

Already in line to buy the limited edition Candlebox live LP

While there are a handful of things on here that pique my curiosity somewhat, this is the second year in a row where I probably won't bother participating in the actual event, as literally nothing on this list appears in any way essential to me

Ken Boothe, Dillinger, Leroy Smart, Delroy Wilson – White Man In Hammersmith Palais [7 ... this sounds interesting - have the artists originally mentioned in the track recorded a collaborative cover? (Apart from Delroy Wilson, who is no longer with us.)

Also:

Gram Parsons & The Fallen Angels – Nilsson Schmilsson [LP] (150 Gram Yellow & White Split Color Vinyl, 12×24 poster, download, limited to 3000, indie-retail exclusive) LP

Explain? A typo, I suspect..

haha, yes, a typo, just was an interesting idea ...

I'm listening to a slower, countrified version of 'Gotta get up' in my head right now..

Marcy Playground – Marcy Playground [LP+7”] (first time on vinyl, limited to 2500, indie-retail exclusive) LP

who's that lounging
in
ma
chaaair

I have had a mixed bag of experiences with RSD (posts above will attest to this)but I made a list and might try and get to a local emporium this year for a thing or two on it...

DEF LEPPARD - The Def Leppard EP LP
FLOWER TRAVELLIN' BAND – Anywhere LP/CD
GOAT – Goatfuzz 7”
KYLESA - Live at Maide Vale Studio CD
IKE REIKO - You, Baby LP/CD
THE RUNAWAYS - Cherokee/Gold Star Sessions LP
PETER SCHILLING - Major Tom 7”
SLICK RICK - The Great Adventures Of… Book/CD/7”
THE WIPERS - Better off Dead 7”

I am concerned about the cost of the Slick Rick but it seems really cool (the album as a kid's book with CD and 7"). At the end of the day, it will come down to the cost and it really sucks that there is no way to ascertain an MSRP or whatever until you're there. And the LPs have to be worth it *to me* so we will see what I pick up.

I expect the 7" singles to be ridiculously overpriced which is why I only care about three of them.

the Wipers 7" is cool, those tracks aren't on the 3CD anthology set or any official reissues iirc

The UK list is so much more interesting than the US list this year. I'm really gutted that the Cocteau Twins and Asobi Seksu reissues are UK only.

xp the Wipers 7" is on History Of Portland Punk CD but that's OOP AFAIK

The cheapest price for that is https://www.discogs.com/Various-History-Of-Portland-Punk-Vol-1/release/29923075+ shipping on Discogs, so it's probably OOP.
