Just wondering, for those who have attended rsd, what it's like and what exactly to expect. Will there be a line up of people well before hand waiting to buy a few copies that places get in? Just wondering, I'll probably stop by but not sure I'll be there before the place opens so I'm not sure what all will be left. Seems like a way for records stores and employess to make a few extra bucks along with people willing to wait in line for hours.

It depends what size store you go to. I went to a decent sized, but local shop in San Luis Obispo in CA for the black friday RSD and there was a small line, maybe a dozen people waiting outside prior to opening.

Im going to a smaller sized store in Saugus for RSD this year, hoping there isnt a big crowd. Dont feel like dealing with the large crowd at Amoeba. Wanna get my hands on that Opeth 7" coming out and a few other goodies. ;-)

There are multiple copies of the original 7", which is EXACTLY the same as the RSD version, on ebay for $6-$8. Why would anyone need the RSD version? Also, I just went through the list of RSD releases and compared to many other, this is a very weak release considering the original is readily available cheaply. I would love to get my hands on the Foo Fighters album but that will be tough to get.

on account of a different serial number, and probably a very limited press, hardcore collectors will want this...
:roll:
I don't have an old one, and i'd like one! I'd like the new one too but for $50 I'd rather put in an extra buck and get an album...

I didn't think that this version was super limited pressing. It would be easy enough to get on the day I think.

RG might be getting them in.

Cheers Bazzer - are going along? I'm up North and won't be able to make it to RG unfortunately

Yes, I should be going. I know they want to get some of those things in and asked for them, but they just don't know if they will get allocated any. I'm after it myself, but if they get more than one copy and I can buy them do you want one? It'll probably be $40 or so, I guess?

How does your shop know what they are getting already? The shop im going to said they wont know what they're getting til Friday at some point. :-(
I'd like to get those White Stripes 7"'s though.

I usually get RSD stuff at Coachella, but since we aren't going this year, I did some checking into my local store policies:

You can buy one of everything, but thats it....you can't buy 2 of any title. Also, to combat flippers bringing their jr. fliipers with them, the limit applies per family, not just per person!

my local store ordered everything, but they are not sure if they will get everything. On the actual day, they suggest you write down what you want when you are in line so they can have the stuff ready when you get to the counter. All RSD stuff is kept behind the counter.

They just put a list up...
Maybe cause they're being shipped to Greece, they already know what they're getting... :?:

Mate that would be awesome if you could! Cheers for the thought.

the shop by me ordered EVERYTHING ... in the past few years they have gotten a ton of shit .. last year they got three of those red Smashing pumpkin 45's .... i already told the owners what im looking for and they said they should have plenty to go around .... the store is part of the CIMS group its a small group of indy stores around country they get first dibs on all RSD exclusives .. last year they had Taken Back Sunday perform along with glassjaw and a few other bands .... the line up this year aint so good .

jnuts721

What are the prices like for the record store day releases? My store said they are going to have everything that I asked for in stock (PJ, foos, nirvana, clapton unplugged, petty, doors)...just wondering if anyone knows how much this is going to set me back

jshin

45's are usually between $5 and $7...Lp's are any where from $15-$30 ...Pretty much the same prices as any other day.

Sounds like Boo Boo Records.

Only store here in Nova Scotia doing Record Store Day will be Taz Records. It's gonna be wild.

I want the PJ release, Deftones LP and Glassjaw LP.

Got the list from store in Manchester that I was going to go too and they won't have the Deftones or Glassjaw releases. Bit disappointed now.

Is that Glassjaw LP a UK thing? Didn't see it listed on the RSD site. Is it something new? I seem to remember something about a Worship and Tribute reissue.

There is a list and PDF on the RSD website that list all releases and their total numbers. If it does not have a number, like the pearl jam and Foos release, then it is not limited.

The Foos are doing a RSD release and the album is expected to be in other formats later.

As for the PJ single...
It should be noted that sometimes their are "secret releases". Last year if you bought the Black Keys or Devo singles, neither that special or limited, they had a website and redemtion code etched in the vinyl. If you figuredit out you could get a split 7" with black keys and Devo. There were only 200 of those.

I could see this on the PJ release... Nothing special but a secret code to get an EV 7" or something.

Yes me too. The Ohio single.

I'm looking forward to the Wild Flag release.

There is a Guided by Voices tribute album coming out that I doubt any of the shops around me will have...I'd love to get the Wild Flag single plus there are two Grinderman 12" singles I need..I'm already getting a headache.
