Ballz posted:The Skeleton Dance 10" Because why not? I didn't grab the full Disney songs album, which I saw a lot of people jump on. Just skeletons for me, please. Jealous- I wanted Skeleton Dance. Also I got TVC15 for $20... (which was on the top of my Want list) paid $45 for TMWSTW! Chalk it up to one part the Canadian Dollar sucking, and one part I'm just a sucker.

My store didn't have any of the Japanese garage psych samplers. Anyone manage to snag those?

Chalk it up to one part the Canadian Dollar sucking, and one part I'm just a sucker. Anecdotal, but I saw plenty of copies of Skeleton Dance going unnoticed at both record stores I visited. A bit of patience and I'm sure you'll find a copy that won't be gouged to hell and back (although I can't make any promises with the Canadian exchange rate)

Walked into my local store a couple minutes after opening, picked up J Dilla, Sublime, and Andrew McMahon without incident. All in all a good day.

Is there a list of what got released in Europe's RSD? http://www.recordstoredaygermany.de/exklusive-releases/record-store-day-2016/ Guess Germany's page is the place to go. Glad I caught it, they got a re-release I've been waiting for and grabbed it at a really low price considering. Gin and Juche fucked around with this message at 18:22 on Apr 16, 2016 |

Ballz posted:Lastly a question about the gimmicky Crosley turntables. I see they are three-speed. Can the cartridge be swapped out of these so I can put a specialized 78 needle? One of the places I hit up had a half dozen Mickey Mouse Crosleys that nobody was touching, and they still had a Ramones Crosley from last year's RSD discounted to 60 dollars. Even if Crosley's are overall meh, I wouldn't mind having a halfway decent 78 RPM record player. Having Mickey Mouse adorning it would just be a bonus. They do sell 78 needles, but I don't think you can change the cart itself, which is one of the complaints about them.

Totally chill first RSD experience. Came in one hour after opening, no crowds or lines and I got The Residents and Xiu Xiu which were my two main goals. They also had most of the other stuff that was on my list. In and out in 20 minutes.

Ballz posted:My RSD pickups: If you plan on doing that you might as well buy an old turntable from a flea market because that will run you about the same money as a Crosley and be way way better. I'm also 99% sure those things don't have removable carts and even if they did you're going to pay more for a cart than the whole turntable. If you're not on a budget the Audio Technica AT-LP120 has a 78 speed.

This was my first RSD in a while (this last one was at a shop that was too small, too crowded, and poorly organized). I picked up: Idle Race- Idle Race Jeff Lynne's band before ELO.  Dark Shadows – Music from the cult ABC soap opera.  The Move - Something Else From The Move– A live 7” EP.

A little bit of waiting in line, but I picked up a copy of Wake Up You!: The Rise and Fall of Nigerian Rock. It's a great package and I'm really excited to play it. I also picked up the Jay Reatard and Superchunk reissues and a few other odds and ends. I also got to see some people argue over the Grateful Dead box set, so that was kind of fun.

No line 15 minutes after my local shop opened, but his last copy of The Man Who Sold the World was being purchased when I walked in. I wanted to support him anyway, so I caved in like a huge nerd and bought the Star Wars picture disc even though I have the whole soundtrack on preorder. Then I found a copy of "Collector's Item: Songs from the Taverns of the Pacific Northwest" for 3bux and immediately felt better.

I got bunch of the stuff I was looking for. Air - Casanova, Kung Fury soundtrack, Henri Texier - Les La Bas and Rob Zombie's Everybody's loving in a UFO (the song is terrible but the etched vinyl is pretty neat). For some reason there weren't a lot of Focus - Hocus Pocus records around in Helsinki so I missed that.

If you're not on a budget the Audio Technica AT-LP120 has a 78 speed. Yeah, I already have a cheap-o turntable that can play 78 rpm but won't allow you to swap out the cart, so I can still listen to my 78s in a pinch, although they'll just sound more like garbage than usual. Was kind of hoping the Crosleys would at least allow you to swap the cart, but their target audience is probably a bit different than what I would fall under. No rush getting a specialized 78 turntable, but you're right that a flea market may ultimately be my best bet. Mt.

Weird foreign obscure 70s poo poo is right up my wheelhouse, and I'm a huge fan of Now-Again. I'm gambling that it's obscure enough that it'll still be there waiting to be bought on a future visit. Also was the Grateful Dead argument over the final copy or something? That's pretty funny, both stores I hit up had plenty of copies. I think the price tag was a bit too steep for the casual fan.

There's a regular non-picture disc reissue of the Man Who Sold the World for everyone who needs a copy of that album. It isn't a limited edition or anything.

I'm listening to Wake Up You now and its everything I hoped it would be: crazy-talented 70s rock/funk/soul. I definitely felt like I was the only person picking this up this morning, based on how many others were left, so hopefully it won't be hard to grab later. Well worth it! The Dead box drama, it was silly...someone in line had someone who was already in the store grab a copy and hold onto it for him, which then angered other line-waiters. But I was behind that guy, and when I got into the store...there were plenty more $80 box sets that nobody was touching.

I don't suppose anybody else bought the Xiu Xiu album? Because it was supposed to contain a download code and mine didn't, I took both records out and inspected the sleeves and looked over the inside of the gatefold and saw nothing resembling a download code. I was just wondering if there was something I was missing.

The eternal RSD refrain - I hadn't planned on spending as much as I did, and yet, I did.  SunnO))) - Kannon Devin Townsend - Truth/Lucky Animals (live) 10" Fela & Afrika `70 - I Go Shout Plenty/Frustration 10" (The internet tells me these are recordings from the early-mid `80s, but Fela > No Fela.) Thomas Dolby - The Flat Earth (used, promotional copy, nice condition, though.) The Mystery Split 7" - MC5/Melvins - Rocket Reducer No. 62 (Rama Lama Fa Fa Fa) on transparent red vinyl (because I always buy the mystery split at RSD, it's fun.) And two 33 ⅓ books, on Freedom of Choice and Chocolate and Cheese. hexwren fucked around with this message at 02:20 on Apr 17, 2016 |

Is there anything actual worthwhile released on RSD, or is it just a bunch arbitrarily limited, special edition, newly remastered, 180G, swirl vinyl bullshit? There's like two or three decent albums on this list. One of them is almost 40 years old, and the other two are almost 10 years old. What's the point?
