I just looked over the Record Store Day list again for tomorrow and good lord that really is the worst selection I've seen for a RSD yet. It says a lot when the only things that remotely interest you are a single of Toto's Africa that is in the shape of Africa, and some 1970s Japanese erotic jazz porn thing. I'll still go because I haven't done any crate digging in a while but... yeesh. (although if you still need Arthur Verocai's self-titled album in your collection, jump on that poo poo if you see it. Just trust me on this)

Yeah, first year my buddies and I are skipping it entirely. At least last year had those Japanese garage comps. I'll probably just pick up the Girls in the Garage comps in a month when my local store tries to clearance all the RSD leftovers.

There's a reissue of Flower Travellin' Band's first album but no one in my area is getting it. It's a shame because this is the only official LP reissue of that album. Original pressings are hilariously expensive. I'm hoping that it'll be like those Japanese Garage Psych compilations were last year where all the flippers dump them for retail price a month or two from now. Also! If anyone wanted that Fiona Apple LP from Vinyl Me, Please the site is back up. edit: It appears that the Flower Travellin' Band LP is not an official reissue. It's from the same label that put out the sorta bootleg represses of it that are already out there. The RSD one just a "limited" edition that's numbered out of 1000. Incidentally it is from the same label that put out those Japanese garage comps which sounded good to me. So not a bad thing to have, but not an authorized release either. At least I know I can get a copy of it without dealing with RSD bullshit and inflated prices. CPL593H fucked around with this message at 08:35 on Apr 22, 2017 |

I bought the Africa pic disc. No regrets I only bought one other thing, this year's list was dire

The only thing I kinda wanted was the Biggie re-issue and I got that. Also this.  This was last year's release, but it was on sale so whatever.  I actually already have this album as the 7x10 inch boxset but I can't be bothered to actually listen to it.   And our next door thrift store got some motherfucking Vladimir Ashkenazy. gently caress yes.

Well, that sucked. I really wanted the Blade Runner soundtrack, but the store didn't even get any copies. And they were sold out of the Africa disc. I did get the 10" Star Wars record. e: I'd forgotten about a used record store that was also participating, since the last time I went there, it was an organizational nightmare. They not only had the BR soundtrack, but I also got the Andromeda Strain soundtrack, too. http://www.recordstoreday.com/NewsItem/6810 Mister Kingdom fucked around with this message at 16:30 on Apr 22, 2017 |

I was hungover and thought buying the Space Jam soundtrack was a good idea. The hell is wrong with me. I did at least get the Dogfish Head record, which was for sure a good idea.

I bought these but I bought them yesterday so my dignity is still intact ok?? Also these  I forgot I already have that Active Minds 7" so if someone wants it I'll send it to you as long as you pay the postage. The sleeve is in lovely condition but the record is fine.

Oh yeah I skipped on Blade Runner because it was a (((picture disc))) and in hindsight I'm dumb. They aren't actually lower quality than regular records anymore, right?

It didn't look any worse than last year's.  By that I mean there was about a dozen or less things I actually wanted. Luckily though, I'm completely broke so I'm not even bothering to go. I'm sure most of the weird poo poo I want will still be on Discogs by the time I get some money.And yeah, the most interesting thing was that Ike Reiko album and I'm sure they'll still have plenty to go around after RSD. Nobody wants to be That Guy who buys the record with the topless girl on it in public.

As always, I talk poo poo about RSD and then find myself spending wayyyy too much money.  I hit up two stores and was actually kind of impressed at how diverse the selection was between them. They were both sold out of Africa of course (I didn't bother to get up early to wait in line to secure a copy, literally not gonna lose sleep over it), but I did find the things I was really looking for at the first store, while the second store had a clearance bin where I did snag a few random things that totally made my day. Here's what I got:  The Frank 'N Dank and Jay Dee EP. Couple of unreleased songs of theirs. It's what you'd expect pretty much.  Ike Reiko: You, Baby. 70s jazzy J-porn. Goes well beside Serge Gainsbourg's Histoire de Melody Nelson. King Vidiot posted:And yeah, the most interesting thing was that Ike Reiko album and I'm sure they'll still have plenty to go around after RSD. Nobody wants to be That Guy who buys the record with the topless girl on it in public. It was me. I was that guy.  And that was it for RSD stuff. But I also picked up:  Some beep bloops from Thom Yorke. I used to see this go for about $75. It was on clearance for $25.  Live album from Goat. I think they had a single or EP this RSD but I didn't find it. I'll probably stumble upon it sooner or later.  Portugal. The Man: It's Complicated Being a Wizard. Experimental 23-minute track on side A (Wizard Side), supposedly the same song played again on Side B (Complicated Side) but at a speed of "6 6/6 rpm." Pretty sure it's actually just blank, heh.  Actually got this a while back, just showing it off. Ethio-jazz is some good poo poo. Ballz fucked around with this message at 18:57 on Apr 22, 2017 |

Sadly, I made a fairly brutal miscalculation in the "mental math" portion of doing my taxes, so my record budget is shot for the moment and RSD is going to not be a thing for me this time around---which is pretty okay, nothing was really jumping out at me as regards stuff I absolutely had to have. But it would have been nice to hit a record store or two.

lol people think they can make a lot of money showing some Japanese boobage:  Also Tomorrow's Modern Boxes came with a download code:  I have no idea why this album originally retailed for 80 bucks. It's a single record packaged in an anti-static bag. Thom Yorke needed a new addition to his flat, I guess.

I dropped by after work expecting to find nothing but snagged the Girls in the Garage record. I almost picked up The Flower Traveling Band but they wanted $30 and it seems widely available elsewhere. Then I grabbed these. Someone musta found a box of NOS records cause these look totally unplayed.  The Lenny Dee is pretty dope.

I read this earlier in the day and managed to register "Serge Gainsbourg sound-alike" while not registering J-Porn. Bought a copy, put it on and... well... that was awkward. 3/10. Her moans make her sound like she's not even that into it. I'll probably unload it the next time I trade in my rejects at the record store I go to that gives me good trade in value. I'm not even sure what number copy I got. It's either 0136, 0436, or 0936.  I do appreciate that the vinyl is flesh colored given the content.

Sorry I confused you. It's... definitely not for everyone.On the plus side, discogs' cheapest copy available is like, $80 so you can probably flip it for a lil' bit of profit, even if it's open.
