Record Store Day April 22nd release of Pearl Jam's Give Way on Vinyl & CD. Clear vinyl Up @ 10club!

rrebern · April 2023

There's a spot on the west side of Chicago known for having decent numbers of RSD orders, pretty good sized record store, quick 20 minute bus ride for me. Wouldn't be a problem if I got up just a little early and wait out in the 35-40 degree cold for several hours. However there's also a Wilco LP "Crosseyed Strangers: An Alternate Yankee Hotel Foxtrot" with only 4500 copies released. That sounds like an all nighter, especially in Chicago where Wilco is pretty big.

I've been looking out in the suburbs, and there's this place where the owner expressed concern with people spending 10-12 hours straight in near-freezing temps that he's going to take whoever's in line at 10 pm, give them numbered tickets and let them go home and warm up and get some sleep. He's got another staff member stopping by the store to give out more numbered tickets 3 times during the night, then they have the official RSD open at like 8am, when people will form up according to their numbers. I gotta say, it might be worth the hourlong trip out there to do it, stay at my mom's overnight after getting my 10pm numbered ticket, then just casually move to the front-ish part of the line and get both the Wilco and the Melbourne show.

Gotta say, that dude in the suburbs has a good system down, really nails the whole spirit of the RSD concept. The store on the west side in the city is great but I'm not going through that pain of the all nighter. I was able to find the FLACS from the Melbourne show, so it really comes down to that Wilco LP - and there's a Motorhead show from 1984 on 2xLP, a random Sun Ra show, an early Husker Du show, and some Miles Davis, Pixies... gotta watch my wallet!

Still debating whether to make effort for this RSD. I never have in the past. Would love a Give Way though. Decisions Decisions.

matt84 · April 2023

Do I go out early for this on Saturday morning or is 10c going to drop a variant??? Hmm decisions decisions...

Debating whether to get out early (nice and early and pick this up). I really want to but don’t want to be disappointed if I miss out. Not sure what RSD is like here in Aus!? and how early to line up if necessary. A store I buy from is a good drive (45mins).

Popcultcha in Geelong tends to get all the RSD releases and sells them online. They still have both the 2021 and 2022 Pearl Jam RSD releases available to order. JBHifi also stocks the RSD releases if there is one near you

StardogChamp79 · April 2023

Rumor has it my store only got 16 copies. I'll line up at 2 am.

Oh really! Near me there’s like a JB on every corner. They’re like Bunnings and McDonalds.

BrainofBGA · April 2023

Look like I’ll take the chance and get out early.

cp3iverson · April 2023

Won't have a store to go to this time so I'll be depending on the Sunday leftovers online.

Obviously after Give Way but so many good titles this year. Poe, Soul Asylum, Bastille, 1975, Van Halen. Hope I can find them.

My local store got tired of the craziness.

OK guys. this is the 1st time am gonna try for this RSD. Local shop will have 10 copies (and have had a lot of interest) - now do I pull an all-nighter, queue from 5am (as recommended by the store owner) to try and get this record or will it just drop on 10c??? Id hate to go through all that effort just to have a variant drop here!

Also, picture worst case scenario. It sells out, and people flip it for $80 on eBay.
Isn't not sleeping out all night worth the extra $50 you'd spend in that case?

But from all accounts, there will be copies to be found.

2-feign-reluctance · April 2023

Variants have usually been posted the Monday after RSD right?

Sirens4 · April 2023

Pretty sure the live on 2 legs gold was Sunday around 1 pm

mace1229 · April 2023

Can someone here just open up a record store, so you can hold on the good titles for us? Thanks.

Um. Yeah! Who needs sleep?

lotsalemon · April 2023

I'm not going anywhere near a record store for RSD like I did in the old days, lining up for hours.....as long Taylor Swift has a release, I'm sitting it out!
