    So.. they're going to make people lineup 3 times for RSD?   RSD seems the opposite of social distancing.    Release cool new vinyl on a specific date in limited quantities.    It causes people to wait in lines and then once the store opens to become pretty crowded.

    Luckily there wasn't much I wanted from the RSD list this year.  Maybe I'll be able to find sweet relief online.

    That's pretty much the only title I'm ISO on that RSD '20 list. The Sweet Relief vinyl. That's it. Maybe they will update the list with newer titles? Newer Pearl Jam related titles? Who knows. Let's see what will go down on June 1st.

    Unless there are production/shipping issues, why not get these to stores sooner and let them sell online and get the boost? Kinda like what Isbell is doing. I'm sure there are probably complicating factors, but still.

    Not every store has an online presence or sells through discogs or ebay. 

    TBH, this is probably the most fair way to do it. Push it far enough away where stores will be open. Break it up to reduce crowds. 


    But if I'm being honest, I'm happy this is the first year where I really only have interest in 3-4 records. So I'll just buy them online.

    I just got back into Vinyl again recently, so this will be my first RSD. After looking at the list, Sweet Relief is the only one I got excited about. I have had the CD since it came out new. There is only one RSD store less than 2 hours from where I live, so I am hoping they get a copy or two.

    I’m pretty pumped about the RE of Suck on This by Primus! Classic album.  The Nativity in Black album with all the Sabbath covers is worth having just for Faith No Moore’s live version of War Pigs. 
    Just digging into this a bit...  hope I can grab those three

    Oh yeah that Nativity in Black album is awesome! I still own it on cassette.

    One of my favorites of the album is by Type O Negative.

    I don't see this listed on the Record Store Day website anymore. I hope that doesn't mean it was scrapped. 
    Edit: It's not listed on Amoeba anymore either.

    I noticed that yesterday and emailed RSD. They said that they were asked to take it off the list, but she didn’t know why. She did say she would email me if they got another release date. Sweet Relief and the the Bob Mould live record we’re the two I was really looking forward to.
