Colonel Les Claypool's Fearless Flying Frog Brigade is releasing a double-live album, an exclusive RSD release. It is limited to 3,000
So how do I get it? Do I need to just pick a random record store and sleep outside with a bunch of asshole scalpers?
Pretty much, unless you just cough up an extra 80 bones or so and buy it off the bay
ugh. that sucks.
The local record stores, are fairly small, and Im not sure I trust the owners to be honest. Its also late November in Buffalo and I have a family. Not sleeping outside.
I hate RSD now. It seems like it is 95% scalpers who participate.

Find out if your local shop ordered it/ actually got his order.
Line up outside. For what its worth, ive found RSD to not be overly packed with obvious flippers And pricks. Usually everyone im surrounded with in line just talks nonstop about this band or that band and gets what they’re after. You can usually tell who’s there to make money
Maybe its just my local shop. I dont know. Its a single file line. Last time I was third in line. The first two guys knew i wanted PJ and Bone Thugs and they passed both back to me. Its always a good experience if you get there early. Good conversation

What time did you need to arrive to be 3rd in line (I know different locations are different).

I’m interested in knowing that too- where I am it’s like 50/50 fans/flippers. Closest I’ve ever been was 15 back in line and I had gotten there at lie 3:30am. Now I just pay up and sleep in, let the flipper serve me.
I'm like an opening band for your mom.

In my experience there aren't a ton of straight scalpers but it's definitely a grind. Which store will have a decent quantity of what you want? What are other people there to pick up? How do you feel about dealing with a bunch of people frenzied and hunting for stuff at the same time?
I generally go late morning and look for leftovers. Or try to find drops online in the subsequent days. But it's too much of a crapshoot for me to invest much time. Got to my local around noon last time and they had a bunch of Easy Streets. Meanwhile I struck out on The Crow across the board. Fun idea, but it's such a hassle now.

5am. Obviously different for every city. Ive heard of 8pm the night before at some spots. Im in a major city but its a chill place

Im wondering if this is the best course of action for me. We used to have a couple big record stores here that always seemed to get respectable quantities of everything. Now, we have a dozen places as big as a closet. I really am not sure where to go. I went to a place last RSD morning and it was cleaned out of everything.

There is ZERO reason to show up the night before.
There is NOTHING that is worth that much of your time that couldn't be picked up that day or off the bay or even from somebody else.
Print runs aren't 2-500 anymore, for the big releases they are 3-10,000 copies now. That is a lot of copies. Nothing turns profits for flipping these anymore.
You’re always going to have some artist or label that does /800. I agree that id rather go to ebay if my city required me to get there more than four hours early.
Obviously PJ will have enough. 12,000 is enormous.
MayDay’s question is still valid tho. 3,000 of Les Claypool means most stores will get a handful. Depends on how many fans are out there in his city. Id line up but not incredibly early. EBay shouldnt even be bad.

I hope you're right, but The Crow was 8,000. Good luck getting your hands on one for under $125. I'll admit that I have no idea how to size up demand with all of these, though.

Wasn't there a delay on The Crow Soundtrack that not all 8000 copies were shipped out? My local record store only had 1 copy on RSD that morning.
At least 2000 Pearl Jam MTV Unplugged RSD copies will be sold @ Easy Street Records. Guaranteed!

Was there? I can only tell you this:
1. I checked 6 stores and they had all sold out 2. Couldn't find any online via the leftover sales 3. I made a preorder on Amazon that was canceled 4. I haven't been able to find one under $100 for as long as I've been looking
Maybe I missed a follow-up in-store drop afterward?

I dont know. The Crow is certainly much more popular and mainstream by Colonel Claypool's Fearless Flying Frog Brigade, lol.
Face value will also be up there because it is a double-album. Maybe that will keep some of the scalpers at-bay. Not sure this is a huge margin item.

Look, I really hope you're right. I want this one, too. Those albums are classics, especially Set 2.

What about those of us in Europe? Does that mean we have to pay about €30 for postage? Why do things have to be so complicated. Just give us a limited pre order ten club euro store release. Simple.
Vinyl = Spending $25 for something you already have.
LOL. that's why I only buy vinyl if it's not otherwise available in another format. I'll never understand the gluttonous consumerism of getting music in multiple formats.

At this point, vinyl is my only physical medium. If I'm listening to something, it's either that or streaming. I can count on one hand the number of CDs I've bought in the last decade and sold back most of my old ones. (Not saying I'm thrilled with the latter decision, but it is what it is.) I suspect a lot of people are in this camp nowadays, especially those buying vinyl.

that's awesome. what I'm talking about is people who buy music on cd AND vinyl. I don't get that. But maybe i would if I had money to burn.
