I'm sure he's just charging a reasonable fee to compensate for his time waiting in line, packing, and shipping 

If artists released enough units this would not be a problem. 

So it's artists (Pearl Jam included) who facilitate this "gig economy".

Hard to properly guess demand if you're only doing one run. They went pretty heavy here and it's feeling like even that might not have been enough. Best move is to supplement this with some colored vinyl runs.

Should one really brag about making money off of Lisa Loeb?  I feel like it’s a cry for help from this young man. 

He's just showing the miniscule size of his non-existent pecker.

I'd say what he needs to contract then go do, but I don't want to be shut down by the mods.

May he see the light.

I believe Jack White once sold over 25 000 copies of his record on vinyl in one week. So I guess that a generational performance like PJ’s could definitely sell 13 000 copies in one day...
may seem like a lot vs the average RSD release (3000 - 5000 copies), but this is not an average release or a simple color variation or reissue.  And PJ probably has one of the biggest ratio of vinyl lovers any band has after Jack White’s followers.

For those who got confirmation from Easy Street, what were the order numbers? (Just want to get a sense of where they are in the process.)

125131. 

Mines 125119. Haven't received a shipping confirmation yet. Maybe international orders takes another day or two to process.

Got it. Mine's 125201. They're probably working down the list. As someone cited earlier, they probably have one or two people going through the list on a one-by-one basis. As I was able to order, I hope that I get. (I'm also in Canada and a friend who ordered from them in the past said the shipment arrives quickly once sent.)

Still no 2nd follow up email from Easy St, still no charge to my card. Still patiently searching, as I don't expect they'll come through. Not holding out hope for a club drop either. Everything about this re

lease is weird. I've never had this much hassle copping even the most limited of RSD pieces. 

I mean, it’s been 5 days since it was released. More will start popping up. Your last sentence should comfort you. There’s 13000 of these things. 

I couldn't find one in the 4 Toronto shows I went into on Friday. But i did see MANY copies of last year's RSD release. I'd bet money they start to show up.

Yeah, except last year's was RSD first, not RSD exclusive.

When I went into my local shop, they had three fairly large stacks of unplugged on the wall (maybe 60-75 total). When I walked by that wall an hour later, I was surprised to see that they were completely gone. I agree with what some others have said here: this release was in way higher demand than any of us thought it would be.

Or flippers are counting on a strong after market.  Was there a limit at that store? (not that that would matter.)

Yes, one per and they seem to be pretty strict about it. At checkout, the guy congratulated me on getting a copy of unplugged. When I told him I was surprised to see the entire pile gone, he said that several times they had to walk through the store putting back extras from people who were in line with multiple copies.

So yeah, 13 000 copies may have already sold out  

That was a new album though, this is just a live record. Also, people had to go out on Black Friday to get it. While possible its sold out, I don't think its likely. A week or 2 after RSD Bullmoose always gets in a bunch of popular items again. I'm wondering if thats the case with this LP.

Congrats.
What for? I didn't get anything yet...

Excuse me then. I thought the “Got it” was a reference to getting confirmation.

If you ordered one from Easy Street, I'm sure it will be shipping soon. They still had inventory on the shelf as of last night. They also have Soundgarden artists den on sale for those of you interested. 

I won’t consider this one a hard one to get until a few more weeks go by myself.  It’s a common rsd issue for distribution to get messed up or for certain consistent shops to end up with very little product.  It very well may be a super coveted title and demand was huge but to me it’s still a bit early to call.  I was lucky to get one from easy street but if I didn’t I wasn’t going to get too stressed, something tells me these will be available for those that wanted them
