Record Store Day

In the queue now, got some shit on my essentials list, anything you'd recommend?

No, nothing this year interested me. It's better this way since RSD is a huge money-grab and I'd rather not fight crowds.

>>72334334
The Beatles album is pretty cool that's the only thing I'm looking for.

I'm interested in the Big Star and Dennis Wilson releases but I'll probably grab them online when stores start unloading their unsold stuff. Not worth dealing with crowds and I always end up not finding something at my store and have to buy online anyway.

>>72334306
I'll be going soon. Nothing I've seen the list as interested me. More there for the store wide discount and merchandise.

Only really interested in the cure's acoustic album, but I work anyways so I'll see if it's not being scalped on ebay later (it will be)

>>72334306
Going to try and nab that new AnCo EP.

new 7' from the Smiths and the new Anco are what im copping

>>72334340
This. Record store day has sucked for years now. And I say this as a lover of the meme format.

Seems to be less hype this year desu

Is RSD finally dying?

>>72336155
No. I've seen a lot of idiots on /mu/ say they'll be picking up the fucking Space Jam soundtrack. So no. It is far from dead.

I didn't really look at everything yet but I think this is the first time Marcy gets a vinyl release

>>72336155
The list this year has been one of the weakest so far, that's probably why. Still 12 fucking people ahead of me in the queue though, and I turned up at 4am

>>72334334
Pic or you're lying

>>72336606
Oh you're in England or something?

>>72334392
same

>>72336666
Yeah. Queue is now about 30 people with nearly 3 hours to go .

>>72334306
Might pick up the danny brown picture disc

maybe Sun Ra if I come across it, but there's really nothing on the list I feel like getting up at 6 on a saturday to wait in line for. Will probably do the rounds of the local stores late morning/early afternoon and grab some stuff on sale though

>>72336796
Yeah 4am isn't too different from what I'm thinking of doing in Autin. I might leave the house at 5am. What are you lunging for first? AnCo is the only thing on my radar but it's only 1,200 copies

>tfw started queueing at 4 but still about 30th in line

>>72337122
Maybe it's different in other cities but I always just pick the store that opens the latest and head to that one about an hour beforehand, I always end up being one of the first people in line since everyone wants to rush the early openings.

>>72337163
The one I go to opens at 8am and by far is the biggest, Waterloo actually. I've never really been sure about the UK connection. We also have a neighborhood called Hyde Park

Whats the rarest thing you've gotten? I always struck out so I stopped going but thisbyear seems especially good and it's good weather etc.

>>72337122
I don't know how common this is, but my local shop has a numbered ticket system, and you just go up one at a time and hand over your list. Much, much better than the mad bumrush other people have to deal with

>>72337252
Oh no we don't have anything like that but they only let about 50 people in the store at a time so it doesnt ever get crazy. Maybe 100 it's been awhile. That line has been completely insane before probably 1,000 people

Been here since 5:30. Tenth in the que and only two more people have turned up since.
I'm not sure if this store is even going to have the darkthrone and mayhem releases I'm after but I'm at leased gonna pick up the Bowie records for my mum.

yeah

I'd like to pick up the Space Jam album, even though it's one of the bigger releases at 3500 copies it will go for a decent amount after RSD.

You really wanna have you music taste sarcastically shit on by some loser who works at a record store? I swear to god I'm so glad those places are going extinct.

>>72339674
You mean as opposed to here?

No rsd is a scam. Ill stick to finding cheap used copies of amazing albums at goodwill and dollar bins.

God I wish the vinyl fad would die. I havent found any pink floyd at goodwill in like 2 years.

>>72339790
I can't tell if this is bait or a real 15 year old.

>>72339856
If you pay >$15 for any record you are a loser.

Muh haul. Got everything i wanted so I'm happy. Absolute madman at the front had been there since 9:30pm the evening before, that seemed entirely unnecessary.

Not related but I got a download code I dont want today with a record- anyone can have it.

Went to a small store, but at least got those two
Anyone in Germany Trading for anco

>>72340122
8-Track was a meme. SACDs were a meme. MiniDisc was a meme. Vinyl is not a meme.

I dont usually go to music stores cause im a pleb but i really want to get the alice in chains 2x7.... what are my chances of finding it? Only 4000 made internationally???

>>72340200
Anything from a mainstream artist will have already gone within an hour of opening time

This will be my first RSD, I didn't even know it would happen in my city.

The store opens in 8 hours, I don't know if there's going to be a queue, and the store's facebook page doesn't help either. Vinyl isn't even popular in my city. My friends didn't know about the event either. I'm confused and I have such low expectations of getting the exclusives I want so I don't feel bad either.

At least I'm going to buy 2 records I've wanted since last year if I don't find anything. So there's that.

how much does a 2x7 cost

>>72334306
I haven't lived in America for some time now.

Are we over the hill with this crass shit, or is RSD bigger than ever now? I seem to hear less about it online, but that might be due to everybody in my social circle getting older and caring less about music as Pokemon cards.

>>72340122
Vinyl is actually the least memetic format. In the long run it winds up being the most durable and safe way to collect music.

American, waiting in line right now. Not too excited for the selection this year, but there's a few good ones.

I'm pissed I don't live in the UK, though. Way better selection.

>buying a picture disk
>buying a jew2 album
Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha

>>72340543
>U2

>>72340562
>>72340571
lol butthurt

there is literally nothing wrong with u2 (or picture disks)

>>72340757
picture disks are a fucking meme and sound like shit
u2 are arguably one of the worst bands of all time and have no place being mentioned on /mu/

bjm's pol pot's pleasure penthouse

cos it's pretty good and it's never been released on vinyl

RSD is a bunch of shite though

Where the fuck can I order RSD vinyl online? Is not possible until Sunday?

>>72340543
Ew. Bono really messed up the RHMT remix.

>>72340950
I didn't realize he personally commissioned the remix of the song and did it all himself.

>buying music

>>72341011
good investment if you buy the right stuff

Not bad

Stupid gimmick.

Going on a record fair, there won't be any RSD releases but maybe I'll find some good stuff still.

Also there'll be a lathe cut workshop

>>72340543

I don't mind U2 but picture discs are fucking disgusting

>>72340543
The new mix isn't that good. Apparently, there's a fanzine that comes with it with details about the upcoming reissue set and tour as well as content from 1987.

>>72340000
Nice quads! Whats that chemical brothers record?

>>72341489
It's the "C-H-E-M-I-C-A-L" single that they released a few months back

release lineup is awful this year imo, only things i'm interested in are live bowie and maybe the prince 12"s. going anyway tho to see what i can get for cheap

>>72339976
Also got the Cracked Actor, are you in the netherlands?

>>72341306
you got exactly what i wanted to get without the new moondog reissue. congrats on your diskomo, amazing album

I bought some records at my local record store for rsd, my turntable is pretty cheap so i don't wanna damage them.

Got a small story here, waiting for my store to open, got about 3 hours left.
>supposed to meet up my friend at a record store
>get here and can't find him
>think that he forgot or isn't here yet
>start making small talk with the people in front of me, more people start to form, 9 people behind me already, 15 ish in front
>they seem like cool guys
>see my friend's brother, he says they're in front of the line
>"nah bullshit"
>they have been here since 1am and hasn't gotten any sleep, they're first in line
>feel bad because I cut in front of everyone and no one seems to notice
What ever, my brother wants The Cure greatest hits and know if I stayed at my original spot, I wouldn't get it.

>>72343650
rotterdam, i went to velvet first but they didn't have the danny brown single so i walked to plaatboef straight after

was anyone in Newcastle today?

I was going to get the Sex Pistols box but somebody got the only copy before I could
He was only 2 people ahead of me in line too

>>72344066
>22.95 for three mediocre Bowie songs

No, because RSD has nothing to do with supporting record stores

>>72344156
Yeah ever heard of resale value

>>72339892
Good luck with your Ray Coniff collection, dipshit. You'll never find any of your favorite records, ever, at a Goodwill or Salvation Army.

I didn't even want this. I just didn't want to leave empty handed for the fourth year in a row.

>>72344336
Then why do you go to record store day, so do you go every year wanting something, and your store ends up not having it?

>>72344400

No, I knew what I wanted, but I was a few seconds late for everything I wanted.

Totally gonna pick up Van Halen II on vinyl. So awesome.

>>72340162

>>72341977
Im at ameoba, im all the way wrapped around the back. Hoping to get the new AnCo but the amount of people worry me

>>72344879
Damn, how many approximate man

>>72344946
Not exaggerating, around 400-500 people in line, it actually wrapped around the store after like 1 hour of being here and i showed up at 8 am

>>72344977

Wow. There were maybe 30 people in line when my local store opened but it fucking exploded shortly afterwards. I got there like 3 1/2 hours before it opened and was fifth in line so I got everything I wanted but when I left I swear the crowd at least tripled. Store was packed and the line was longer than when I walked in the door. Oh well, got a bag and T-shirt for my trouble so it was worth it.

>>72344977
I'm at Freakbeat if you know where that is, there's maybe 40 people here already, that sucks

>>72345063
Yeah the bad thing about amoeba is all the hypebeasts and basic bitches that are here for Prince or Bowie. I was planing on going to vacation records but wasnt sure if they would have a good amount of records

I'm interested in getting the new Pure Hell single from In The Red and The Germs, Lexicon Devil 7''.

Anybody picking up the cover EP by the Claypool Lennon Delirium? I'm very excited to hear them covering classic King Crimson, Pink Floyd, and the Who tracks.

>>72345121
Yeah, all those music news places are saying "top 10 rsd exclusives" and they're just Prince and David Bowie shit

Fuck RSD. It literally jams the pressing plants for 3 months a year and small labels that actually release new music can't anything out because of mongloids that want their unecessary, overprized coloured vinyl editions of stuff that's probably available for half the price in a none-meme edition.

>>72345357
>want Deee-Lite Groove I'd in the Heart
>I'm seeing it go for $40 on eBay
>the original is like $15
I'll just get that, I don't even want a bright pink vinyl

Kinda want the Lou Reed and Spacemen 3 stuff, but not enough to pay 26 pounds or whatever they were asking, bought Sonic Youth's debut EP instead

Anyone get any of the VA comps? I wanted the Test Card album, but they were all out.

>$200 for the Miley Cyrus 12"

who would ever actually buy that

Just woke up. Nothing on the list I want, but I'm gonna head over to a record store in an hour or two and pick up somethin'.

Either that or I'll go there, look at the price of some random record, realize it's $7 cheaper on Amazon, and go home and order it on Amazon. Though I would like a new record today.

The blade runner ost sold out quick in my area
