Precisely this. I love RSD but mainly for the in store gigs and discounts on older stock. That said I’ll be pretty shitty if I don’t get that mono Piper At The Gates Of Dawn reissue.

Shoes Report post Posted April 20, 2018 Could someone pick up something for me? @Mr Do 71 picked up a few OPN eps for me a few years ago. I might go to Bristol, but apparently, it's going to be stormy here and storrmy weather + being in a wheelchair is a fucking nightmare. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

keineboom Report post Posted April 21, 2018 As last year just left the local with both things I wanted without queuing from 4am. Lucky to live in the provinces I suppose! Snagged zappa's lumpy gravy and the Bowie live in London. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kwakpriest Report post Posted April 21, 2018 I'm working today and tomorrow so Monday's the earliest I'll be able to visit a store. I really want Neil Young - Roxy Tonight's The Night Live though - what are the chances of still being able to pick that up, I wonder? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lankysanchez Report post Posted April 21, 2018 No luck on the Bibio @Shoes sorry Not sure that’s a Witney sort of artist. Got a copy of Amorphous Androgynous so quite pleased with that, wasn’t expecting to find it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can usually pick up a good cross selection of the RSD releases. I know I do this every year but it still amazes me how many RSD releases appear on ebay. Currently over 3000 and rising. All I really want is the Daughter soundtrack so will have to hope some the online sellers will have it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There were dozens in Nottingham Rough Trade, so if you can find someone there they'll very likely be able to get you one. Shoes - no Bibio I'm afraid. Was one I was looking for too. Didn't expect that to be too limited, so a bit odd. Unless I just didn't see it. I got the Ben Kweller, Alex Sommers and Michael Kiwanuka ones for myself, which is a pretty good success rate. Considering I turned up at about midday I'm extremely impressed by that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cowfields Report post Posted April 21, 2018 Spent a silly amount of money. Went to sister Ray ace and everything I was interested in was gone. No worries I thought. We sauntered over to Rough trade and saw ridiculous queues. Told the girlfriend I couldn't be bothered but we had food in our bags that needed eating and it was a nice day so we got in the queue. Then they had a bunch of stuff so I bought Sparks, belly, pictish trail and Marvin gaye. Girlfriend got arcade fire, Madonna picture disc Fleet foxes and something else I can't remember. This is not counting a few other records I got that weren't part of RSD. anyway was fun to be part of it and we've got a bumper listening session planned tomorrow 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Butters Report post Posted April 21, 2018 Picked up the Ben Kweller as well, and the Zero 7 7x7 boxset. Last copies of both, so was quite happy. At one store there were at least two guys with full side printed lists of things they wanted, stacking it all up. Which they are perfectly within their rights to do, but it did make me wonder how much of it they were actually keeping for themselves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Butters Report post Posted April 21, 2018 That was my thinking. Meanwhile there was a queue outside of 30+ people who probably won't get what they want as a result. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

luth714 Report post Posted April 24, 2018 Interesting with rsd this year - it was strange to see that stores still had the traditional big hitters left on Sunday. Monday midday I was in a store who still had multiple copies of Pink Floyd, the 3 Wea Bowie releases, a U2 and more. i know some people may not be near a participating store but someone who paid £70+ for a Bowie would feel pretty foolish seeing it still available for £20 two days later. Perhaps it’s the people getting”the fear” and paying eBay prices falsely giving a perception of high value and no more copies elsewhere. For all the naysayers for many shops I deal with it was once again bigger than the previous year and they still see it as massively positive...even if my mate’s shop got a weird email today complaining that the day was obviously too successful for him as the guy was grumbling about having to still queue at 1pm when he presumed the queues for his small shop would have gone by then.... In other vinyl news had possibly my first random decent £££ charity shop find. Spotted a 2lp promo of De La Soul Is Dead for £2 amongst the usual viva espana dross. Never liked Ring Ring years ago as sampling Curiosity Killed The Cat always felt naff...but heard the track again recently and thought it sounded great and quite fancied trying to find the LP. Got home and checked the price and around £55 minimum on Discogs....so quite a nice find (Not that I’m selling it..) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The best record shop in Glasgow has been tweeting daily with a full list what they have left, to deter people buying from ebay/discogs scalpers, and it's quite extensive. They still have something I have been swithering about... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
