Record Store Day - April 17th

Shinesalight · Post by **Shinesalight** » Tue Mar 30, 2010 10:50 am

I'm sure most of you know about this already but its the 3rd annual Record Store Day on Saturday 17th April. This is the day where loads of independent stores unite to celebrate their unique culture while offering various exclusive releases.

Heres the list of goodies available for those of us here in the UK (with a handy cooperating store finder):-

http://www.indierecordshop.org/?p=316

And here's the main page of the American site:-

http://www.recordstoreday.com/Home

Quite a few bits on the lists which should be of interest to folks on here including limited editions by The Flaming Lips, Wooden Shjips, Rocky Erikson and a Mogwai/Fuck Buttons double amongst others.

TheWarmth · Post by **TheWarmth** » Tue Mar 30, 2010 3:08 pm

I'm not having any luck finding a list of what's going to be released in the US for this. Is it somewhere on the website?

Shinesalight · Post by **Shinesalight** » Tue Mar 30, 2010 3:33 pm

Paul, right in the opening paragraph on the home page is a highlighted bit where you can click for a PDF listing or go to a webpage which brings this up:-

Pretty sure that Mogwai / Fuck Buttons split single was a tour thingy they did last year, i certainly downloaded it last year.

Hoping that the Wooden Shjips single will be available at their Dublin gig which is 2 days before Record Store Day.

davedecay · Post by **davedecay** » Mon Apr 05, 2010 8:48 pm

I'd get something for a UK-er from the US list if someone can find me one of these:

Nick Cave â€œThe Mercy Seatâ€ White vinyl in goil foil stamped sleeve inc unreleased live tracks
(Mute / EMI 100 only)

I would but it's 1 per person at my local store and I'll be ordering it there, even then they arn't sure if it will ever arrive.

The JAMC ones on order too

Good to see The Lips version of Darkside Of The Moon getting a release.

marcvolta · Post by **marcvolta** » Tue Apr 06, 2010 12:11 pm

hot damn, i think i would kill for a copy of that Nick Cave 12".... you guys are lucky

toomilk · Post by **toomilk** » Sat Apr 17, 2010 2:27 am

This is tomorrow!!!!!

Go support your local shop!!!

Post by **spzretent** » Sat Apr 17, 2010 4:11 am

I was lucky enough to get a few things today as I cant get near my local record shop tomorrow due to road construction.
I picked up:
Rolling Stones 7" Plundered My Soul
Raconteurs 1st Lp reissue on 180 gram vinyl and gold embossed sleeve.
MGMT 12 etched on one side

There were no F Lips or Nick Cave at all. This stuff is so limited it almost defeats the purpose.

James T · Post by **James T** » Sat Apr 17, 2010 5:41 am

I am setting off to queue up at my store now. I will be waiting 4 hours in the morning sunshine til opening to ensure a copy of the new Blur track. Then off to see City beat United. oooochy wooochy.

Shinesalight · Post by **Shinesalight** » Sat Apr 17, 2010 8:07 am

Fuck me James....and there was me thinking I was getting up early on a Saturday morning to get down to my record store?!

How come you got to buy things a day early Spzretent?

Shinesalight · Post by **Shinesalight** » Sat Apr 17, 2010 10:13 am

So, got down to my usual record store (Resident) at 8.30am only to find 50 or so people already in the queue. Thought there was no chance of getting any of the limited releases so walked round to another smaller store (Ape) and there were only 4 people in the queue. Tried to get hold of the Blur single as knew the Warmth was desperate for one but they only had one on sale and each of the four people in front of me wanted it. They didn't have the Wooden Shjips single either which was a bit of bummer. Also, I picked up one of only 2 copies of the Flaming Lips' Dark Side of The Moon but gave it to a guy who was in front of me in the queue as he'd mentioned he was really keen on it.....my good deed of the day, but I'm already kicking myself! However did manage to pick up the following:-

Nick Cave - The Mercy Seat 12"
Mogwai/Fuck Buttons split 10"
J & MC - Just Like Honey 7"

Haven't got a record player but wanted to get involved and support the local independents. So, I'd like these to go to good home. I know a couple of people have expressed an interest in the Nick Cave 12" already on this thread so get in touch with a PM. Also, if any of you are interested in either of the other 2 records PM me. Just looking for what they cost plus P & P or even an exchange of some description (see my wish list in the Cop Zone section). Now really wish I'd picked up that Dark Side of the Moon as sure that would have been a good bartering tool in my attempts to get hold of the L&GWAFIS vinyl. Oh well.

Ads, I PM'd you on the Mogwai/F.B. 10".

As I have often mentioned, I used to own a record shop, and am still an avid consumer and am friends w/those still in business. One of the shop owners understood my plight as his shop is 20 miles away and on weekends they virtually close off the highway w/construction. So he hooked me up. He even gave me his invoice so I could choose what I wanted to buy. There were tons of things I could have shifted on ebay I suppose but I just bought what I wanted for myself. And the MGMT will go to a good home i'm sure. Karma I guess since I really wanted that Stones 7". Though that b side does not sound like an Exile outtake at all.

toomilk · Post by **toomilk** » Sat Apr 17, 2010 10:07 pm

Any kind soul get an extra copy of the Fall 7"?

I watched the last one in San Diego purchased before me.

shalloboi · Post by **shalloboi** » Sun Apr 18, 2010 12:06 am

i had to work until 2 today, so i was prepared to find everything sold out. surprisingly i still managed to get sonic youth 'evol' on pink vinyl (listening to it right now). also got a moon duo split 7" put out by permanent records for rsd. i should've gone to their midnight sale last night, then i probably would've gotten everything i was after, but i had to be up at 6am today. lessons for next year i guess. it was kind of fun to do- i'd never bothered to participate.

Post by **spzretent** » Sun Apr 18, 2010 1:16 am

Holy crap! All told I spent $270 in three shops today. I guess Record Shop Day works.

davedecay · Post by **davedecay** » Sun Apr 18, 2010 1:50 am

my local shop has/had multiple copies of the FLIPS DSOTM - I bought one.

If someone is looking for USA records, PM me with what you're looking for.

I really want a Nick Cave 12" from the UK.

Thanks.

and that Joy Division box is fucking sick - but I don't have $250 to spare.

marcvolta · Post by **marcvolta** » Sun Apr 18, 2010 2:02 am

$250??? the store i went to had it for $200, thats kinda lame if they marked it up you know...

I was after the Lips lp but wont have a problem hearing it ona download.
Its so bizarre the way these records were distributed in the US/Canada(I went to a shop in Windsor Canada yesterday too). No Lips at any shop here. But I wound up w/a few Stones 7"s, a Neil Young 7", a Rodriguez 7", that Sonic Youth Hits RSD only 2xLP, REM Chronic Town 12" and the Raconteurs gold embossed LP(not copper vinyl though). But I did buy other stuff. Broken Bells which is really good, a Big Star 7" which came out around the box set i'm guessing, Raw Power Legacy ed. So it worked from that standpoint w/me. No lines at any shop I was at,

Shinesalight · Post by **Shinesalight** » Sun Apr 18, 2010 5:33 pm

Just gone back into Resident records to pick up Lift Your Skinny Fists by Godspeed and was amazed to see they had a copy of the Wooden Shjips 7" single left. Bonus!

Picked up the Sonic Youth Hits 2LP and Nick Cave 12" today. Was really hoping for Wooden Shjips and Moon Duo 7".

My local has a number of Bat For Lashes, Pet Shop Boys and Rolling Stones 7" plus stuff by Editors, Metallica, Eagles of Death Metal, Gorillaz and that MGMT 12", might pick up the MGMT one tomorrow.

Shinesalight · Post by **Shinesalight** » Mon Apr 19, 2010 7:02 pm

Think the Nick Cave 12" I picked up on Saturday has become available. PM if interested.

Wooden Shjips had a box of their single at Bush Hall in London last night.

The box had about 10 copies in it. So it was a small box.

Shinesalight · Post by **Shinesalight** » Tue Apr 20, 2010 7:47 pm

I will keep an eye out for this so-called small box tonight.

Already bought the 7" on Sunday but hoping for other top notch merch.

johnnyboy · Post by **johnnyboy** » Tue Apr 20, 2010 9:32 pm

Seeing all these Record Store Day records all over ebay is making me puke. It wasn't ebay day was it? Seems like people have just bought them all to make a profit which defeats the idea of it all doesn't it. Rel shame.

Picked up a Shjips one at Bush Hall and got it signed by the band too.......now what would that go fo on sickbay?

If my calculations are correct Ads you will be, at this exact moment, be standing in a sweaty crowd grinning your face off while clutching a prized 7". That's what I was doing 24 hours ago.

Right?

Shinesalight · Post by **Shinesalight** » Tue Apr 20, 2010 11:36 pm

Yes, you're right Mark, I was in a sweaty packed venue grinning from ear to ear and boobing my head to the blissed out racket but, as I already had the 7", I bought myself a great t-shirt instead. In hindsight wish I'd picked up another 7" or 2 for people on here. Though, saying that, have just got home to find an e-mail from my local record store thanking everyone for participating on RSD and offering some info of what they still have in stock.....including the Wooden Shjips single (http://www.resident-music.com/2010/04/2 ... esident-3/) . May still be able to go in there and grab another before they sell out. Will keep you informed Sunray.

sunray · Post by **sunray** » Wed Apr 21, 2010 11:35 pm

Piccadilly Records has stock left over from RSD now up on their website, just bagged myself the Wooden Shjips, Moon Duo and JAMC 7".

I completely agree. That link to the Fall record was a disgrace! It was like every fucker who bought it had it on e-bay by lunch-time.

However, I kinda think that Blur/Parlophone shouldn't have had such ridiculously low numbers of records pressed up - what was it, one single between three shops? Insane.

Given it's the first Blur song in ages, as well as the return of G. Coxon surely they knew there would be great demand for it?

Surely if every shop involved had more copies there would have been more income for the shops involved which was presumably the point....how many turned up, seen Blur sold out and promptly fucked off without seeing what else was out there?

marcvolta · Post by **marcvolta** » Thu Apr 22, 2010 12:28 pm

Picadilly Records seems to be a pretty cool shop...

is it an actual store or is it just online???

--that Picadilly record bag tote thing looks pretty cool, but id imagine shipping to America would be a pain.

Post by **spzretent** » Thu Apr 22, 2010 2:32 pm

Its a fantastic "real" record shop close to, or in, Manchester's Northern Quarter. Great staff too.

James T · Post by **James T** » Thu Apr 22, 2010 2:44 pm

Yeah, Piccadilly is my local, where I went for my stuff. Can sometimes be a little slow with new releases but it 99% fantastic. Always willing to put stuff aside for me and recommend some great stuff. I would love to get a job there one day, it's near impossible though, heh.

BZA ... I posted very similar thoughts in the Blur thread. It is competely nonsensical to press such in-demand records in ridiculously small quantities if the whole point of RSD is to benefit the independent shops. The majority of the records that people wanted were sold out within the first hour and a half at the store that I was at.

Post by **spzretent** » Thu Apr 22, 2010 4:20 pm

I was at a shop here yesterday, Dearborn Music, that still has some of the desireable RSD vinyl. Sonic Youth 2x Lp, Velvet Underground Live Vols. 1&2, Peter Gabriel 7". And I overheard one of the staff say we just re-ordered a whole bunch of it. This shop is the most bland shop I have ever been to personality(or lack there of wise). No staff member exudes any sort of excitement what so ever, yet they have an amazing selection of vinyl and indie cds. You rarely hear anyone around Detroit mention this shop.
And they had whole counter full of freebies including Doors 7"s and these beautiful hand numbered Madonna posters, Oasis beer mats etc.
Also, Piccadilly is out of a lot of what was available yesterday. Glad whomever posted that link did so.

Shinesalight · Post by **Shinesalight** » Thu Apr 22, 2010 4:50 pm

Went into Resident records in Brighton yesterday to enquire about the Stone Roses RSD release. They told me all there assigned copies had already been reserved but took my e-mail address just in case. Just got home to find this e-mail:-

Hi,

I'm happy to let you know that the Stone Roses Record Store Day release that you requested has arrived, and a copy has been put aside for you. Please let us know within the next 24 hours whether or not you still need a copy.

Thanks!

Noticed a very interesting release for this year: A compilation called "I'm So Convoluted" featuring 4 exclusive tracks from Mugstar, The Heads & Big Naturals, Carlton Melton and Koolaid. 350 copies.

Also, as well as The Black Angels first two ep's comp they're also releasing a 6 track 10" white vinyl called Phosgene Dream (not a typo).

There's quite a few things that i'd be after this year.The above releases naturally, plus Clinic, Moon Duo, Sonic Youth, maybe the Screamadelica triple vinyl, some of the blues albums,and those Sonic Boom related ones that were mentioned elsewhere. My local will probably get fuck all of what i want!
