Unk Posted April 16, 2011 Report Posted April 16, 2011 Don't recall seeing a mention here, and it seems like, overall, the publicity has been lighter this year. So just a reminder, it's Record Store Day. Maybe something happening near you. Quote

Dave James Posted April 16, 2011 Report Posted April 16, 2011 (edited) I'll be heading downtown today to see my favorite indie band, Sallie Ford and The Sound Outside. They're playing live as part of the Record Store Day celebration at Every Day Music in Portland. Edited April 16, 2011 by Dave James Quote
.:.impossible Posted April 16, 2011 Report Posted April 16, 2011 I bought a bunch of used records at my local today. They didn't have any of the exclusive RSD releases that I was interested in. I'm a regular customer and it was great to see an hour long line for the register for the entire two hours I was there this morning. Quote
BFrank Posted April 16, 2011 Report Posted April 16, 2011 Big line at Amoeba today, too. I picked up some Lucinda Williams among other stuff. Quote
Aggie87 Posted April 17, 2011 Report Posted April 17, 2011 I ended up with the Crowded House live set and the Hendrix cd single. Was hoping to get the REM single box and the Pink Floyd live 66/67 too, but didn't see them. Quote

brownie Posted April 17, 2011 Report Posted April 17, 2011 Ten US stores featured in this week's TIME magazine. Quote

There actually was a SW release for Record Store Day, but only in the UK, I believe. A split 7" vinyl with Oceanside, consisting of their tracks from the Tim Smith/Cardiacs tribute album. I dunno that I want this one track enough to buy the single on Ebay or wherever though. Might be easier to just buy the tribute album itself at some point! I think I have all the major SW recordings, but not all the guest appearances. Would be tough to be a completist! Quote

Was hoping to get the REM single box and the Pink Floyd live 66/67 too, but didn't see them. I was really excited for the R.E.M. box until I saw that it was priced anywhere from $28-32. Sheesh! Quote
ejp626 Posted April 20, 2011 Report Posted April 20, 2011 Didn't even know what the majority of Record Store exclusives were. Didn't really interest me. I did get the Numero Uno exclusive compilation -- Pressed at Boddie. That was kind of cool. It will be interesting to see if they really did sell all of them (quite possibly) and, if not, will some turn up at Dusty Groove. Quote
BillF Posted April 23, 2011 Report Posted April 23, 2011 Was in Vinyl Exchange (used CDs and vinyl) this afternoon and the place was buzzin', as they say round here. As noted before, the record store future could be in this sort of place. http://www.vinylexchange.co.uk/ I came out with a new copy of Here Comes Louis Smith for £4. (Carries a sticker "Promotional copy. Not for sale".) Quote

It will be interesting to see if they really did sell all of them (quite possibly) and, if not, will some turn up at Dusty Groove. It looks like the LP and cassette versions of the Boddie exclusive are running low, but Reckless and Dusty Groove still have some of the CDs. Strangely enough, someone already put the CD version on eBay and got $40 for it while it is still available for about $15 at these other sites. Tempting I must say... Quote
DMP Posted April 25, 2011 Report Posted April 25, 2011 By the time I got there, my store had already sold out of the limited edition vinyl 45 of John Coltrane & Johnny Hartman. Maybe next year. Quote

Or maybe it will turn up as a bonus CD to the next remastering of Coltrane/Hartman. Wasn't the last CD on the Brownie box something like 3 songs at 12-15 minutes (total, not each)? Quote
DMP Posted April 25, 2011 Report Posted April 25, 2011 Right! And there might have been something like that in the Kirk box, too. With that kind of foresight, I can't see why Polygram didn't survive. Quote
