RSD remorse

pjradio · April 2013

So, I go & get a handful of records today. I get home. I listen to them. Love it.

Then I start kicking myself for passing up all the other things I saw & passed on. Bummer. RSD REMORSE (just coined phrase)

Am I alone with this feeling?

MedozK · April 2013

I have it too...but then when I think about how much money i dropped...the remorse goes away quickly..

lotsalemon · April 2013

I get it every year.

I always end up going back that night or a couple days later. Sometimes I score some good stuff later on that I couldn't find on RSD.

I just couldn't help myself today...I went in with a 18 things on a wishlist (by no means thinking I could get them all) and I just started going down the list and she just kept coming back with album in hand. Only strike out was the Dave Matthews set. She pulled 17 albums in about 3-5 minutes and the pressure was on as 100+ people were in line behind me, so I pulled the impulse trigger and bought them all.

Ha ha. Well done. I can imagine the pressure of having it all in your hand, peeps queuing behind you. I mean, fuck, what were you meant to do, give them back!??! I don't think so! 8-)

No remorse here.

I wanted five lp's and didn't get one of them. I wanted:

1. Mad Season
2. At the Drive-In
3. Soundgarden
4. Porno for Pyros
5. Public Enemy

I am just getting over a flu and waited in line for over an hour when it was raining and like 50 degrees out (IN FLORIDA!!!). The kid in front of me got the last At the Drive-In and they were sold out of everything else.

I think people were shocked that I wasn't mad, etc...

I look at it this way... This is a celebration A celebration of memories when I was a kid and would stare at album covers for hours (I mean take a look at Iron Maiden's Somewhere in Time someday). I saw a father taking his kid to share the experience. And most important, it's a celebration that I STILL have a record store in my local community!!! That's worth celebrating. And I did. I bought some of my B-list items and went back later in the day to buy more.

Anyone that is within driving distance of a Record Store should be grateful today.

Happy Record Store Day Everyone!!!

It was actually kinda funny and I felt a little peer pressure. We all knew that we would go up one at a time to the counter with our list and get what we wanted if they had it. People waiting in line were clapping and cheering when the girl came back with requested LP. When people were cheering, clapping and hooting about what a roll I was on I felt obligated to buy them all so I did not kill to vibe in the record store. I could only imagine what people in line would have said if I handed back some of the LP's after she pulled them for me.

PS: Spinning Mad Season now...wow it sounds sweet!

PJ_Soul · April 2013

I regret not going now that I looked at everyone's haul in the other thread. :fp: I was being financially responsible. I knew that if set foot in the store I'd go hog wild, and try an justify it by saying I was treating myself on my bday.

I had to save myself from myself! But I will be upset if the non-RSD Mad Season vinyl isn't released widely soon! (That release is fact, not rumour, right?!)

peacefrompaul · April 2013

I didn't find the DMB vinyl for Leeze so I saved my money

Better spent at the grocery store this week.

My only regret was the parking ticket.

The first place I went to had all the ones on my list except for Soundgarden. So I went to this other one a few blocks over when they opened. I got their 10 mins early (9:50) and it was a loading zone, then free parking at 10am. I figured, who was going to care about 10 minutes? I got a $30 parking ticket, and the Record store (lyle's place) had an abyssmal selection of RSD vinyl. I was 2nd in line. There was nothing there of note. They shouldn't of posted on facebook that they had new rsd suppliers this year.. ugh....

The only vinyl I was on the fence about was Blind Melon. It wasn't on my list but I impulse bought it. I'm glad I did.

yup. looking forward to spinning that one later!

PJ_Soul · April 2013

If anyone grabbed an extra Blind Melon to sell please sell it to me! If my record store had gotten it in, I would have lined up. That is the one I REALLY want! Thx!

Pjdreamer · April 2013

This was a good rsd, all of those 90's Lps that weren't pressed or just a few were and they faded out.
Mad season
Linkin park
Porno for pyros (vinyl is amazing looking btw)
Dazed and confused never before pressed( hand #'d)
Blind melon
Soundgarden
White stripes (split vinyl)
Just a good day for releases keep bringin the 90's stuff

Leezestarr313 · April 2013

We spend a whoppin' 270 bucks :shock: But at three stores! Remorse / regrets? Not so far

We've spun everything but the At the Drive-in, which is on the turntable right now. What an awesome day!

pjradio · April 2013

seems like alot of ppl might be misinterpreting my meaning...the remorse is from the fact that I couldn't buy more!...not that I had a bad experience

Ha ha, Woops, we re-routed the thread then. No remorse of that kind for me. I got my wishlist top 3 + one from my wishlist top 10 & one i didn't even know about. One I didn't buy from my top 10 list but could have I'm feeling fine about so all good with me.
