Record Store Day 2011, April 16th (1 Viewer)

[тхеодоре кацзынски]

Fourth year it seems,I always thought it had been going on at least 10 years.I guess the in-store performances get bodies in the shops and maybe they'll spend on other 'non record store day records' so it can't all be bad.

got radiohead and mastodon singles. mostly wanted the pinback one, but no sign

Did anyone see/get the Flaming Lips 1992-2002 vinyl box set?

It's times like this it sucks to be poor.

 

[Lili Marlene]

Saw some bands I didn't know, saw Squarehead which I did know.

Saw some people off thumped and didn't say hello.


all in all a good day.

didn't notice it,but wasn't looking for it.

There were a few things I may have bought myself but I didn't see. Big Star lp etc. Probably just missed them.

Where did you get the fucked up LP from Gary? I'm away this weekend and I know I've no chance of getting it this week, just thought I'd ask...

 

[GARYXKNIFEDX]

I got it in Freebird,don't think there's any left. Shouldn't be too hard to find though there were 2000 pressed.

 

[trev]

I thought a lot of the releases were kinda pricey.

Agreed.

Deftones covers lp 35e in Freebird. 22e in Tower.

The Clash 7 inch a tenner.

Anyone get/see the Husker Du/Green Day 7 inch?

 

[trev]

oh and saw Enemies and Squarehead in Tower. Enemies have some really good parts and some run of the mill parts. a bit of weeding out and they could become really good. Squarehead were great. Edgier live than the recordings and sounding all the better for it i thought. and yes it was brilliantly LOUD!

 

[STUDIOPRO]

thought this was an interesting idea. might help sales for local bands and record labels

again,wasn't looking for it,but didn't see it. I thought there were a lot of that one pressed,like 6000 or something.

Was the Clash one just a straight reissue?

 

[GARYXKNIFEDX]

I was thinking about the pricing,and although it's frustrating for people who actually want to buy/play/own the records,the fact that so many just get flipped on ebay means I do think the shops should get a cut. It's not ebay day after all.

 

[Lili Marlene]

My friend bought me the clash one, didn't realise it cost him a tenner though!!

Was the Clash one just a straight reissue?

For some reason it has the album rather than single version of the magnificent 7 on it, b-side is the cool out. The sleeve is numbered so I guess it's limited but I can't find anywhere that tells me how many copies were pressed.

edit: oh, and it's red vinyl

 

[GARYXKNIFEDX]

Probably could have gotten an original copy with proper a -side for a fiver or less.

 

[dudley]

Mastodon 7" was 7.99, same price as radiohead single, which is kinda silly. Sadly, neither are very good.
Rsd=rarities, sadly dreary
