Picking out the word "artificial" from my post is missing the point. The only moral limited release is my limited release.

Buying a limited edition live box set or something like that is completely different from buying a limited edition picture disk of Never Mind the Bollocks, which is loving retarded. I first went to a RSD in 2010. I didn't even know what it was; I just happened to be going to the record store. I remember there being a couple special releases, but mostly it was people buying stuff for sale at the store, and maybe if you spent $50 you got a free slipmat or a bag. Now it just seems like a money grab for the labels, and I wonder how much the stores actually benefit. I know the store I usually go to has tons of garbage 7"s sitting in a "RSD" crate just taking up space, and I don't think any of them are priced to move.

There's limited release in the sense that some up and coming band who don't believe their own hype press three hundred 7"s and they sell out in a few days, and there's limited release in the sense that Moby re-issues his greatest hits comp in ten different colours, five copies each, for RSD

Toe Rag posted:Is it not true? 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? I don;t even really disagree with the sentiment, it's just that dropping in and saying "gently caress record store day" isn't really interesting and doesn't add anything to the conversation. Plus it's just played out. Everybody but the price gougers on ebay think Record Store Day is lame. I only begrudgingly participate because every year there's one or two items that I won.t be able to get otherwise. I don't give a poo poo about a half speed mastered 45 rpm double LP of Baby Boomer Wank #4471. Most people don't. Toe Rag posted:Buying a limited edition live box set or something like that is completely different from buying a limited edition picture disk of Never Mind the Bollocks, which is loving retarded. That's basically the issue. the first couple years of Record Store Day were just a low key thing that record shops did more or less as a promotional event. Where it went wrong is when someone realized that you can price gouge the items on ebay which happened around the same time more people started hopping on the vinyl band wagon. So of course the big labels took note of this and knew of they created a situation of artificial scarcity they could get a bite of that. And it worked like crazy, which is also why most RSD releases are over priced before they flippers get their hands on them. The original intent was good, but after everyone realized what a money grab they had on their hands that's when everything got stupid.

All true, but that's why you comb through the garbage on Bull Moose ahead of time and separate out the good releases that still come out on RSD from the rest. And then on RSD you show up a little later and get the less sought-after releases when all the flippers have bought two copies of everything they think is going to sell on eBay. Then they can't move any of it and the prices drop back down to retail or a little less, and the cycle repeats.

bowmore posted:hell yeah There's this cool little place in a lovely nowhere town about a 20 minute drive from Providence, RI called Sunset Records. It's run by this whacky old guy who dresses like the 60s and knows an obscene amount about 60s garage psych. He gets a lot of cool and/or rare poo poo and sells his stuff cheap. Plus if you buy three (maybe two, I can't remember) used records you get one free. I recommend him to everyone, he's been in business since 1976 so he's the real loving deal as far as record dealers go. I'm also equally fond of the Armageddon Shops in Providence, RI and Cambridge, MA. They have a broad selection of genres but specialize in various punk and metal genres. The staff are all cool knowledgeable people. This is the site for Armageddon: https://armageddonshop.com/

http://cactusmusictx.com/ http://www.vinaledge.com/ http://heightsvinyl.com/ Cactus has the best selection but they overprice a lot of poo poo. Vinal Edge is great, but the selection is small. Heights Vinyl is okay, but tbf I've only been there twice. When I'm in Austin I go to Waterloo and http://www.endofanear.com/ like everyone else. Same issues, Waterloo has a great selection and poo poo prices. End of an Ear is great but small.

Has anyone been to Record Trader or Joe's Record Exchange in Ft Myers, FL? I'll be in the area next week and wondering if it's worth a visit. I think Record Trader is more of a 'digging through crate after crate of dusty vinyl' place, yeah? Definitely my kind of thing but not sure if my fiancé would be too keen...

To be fair that Dawn Richard single is really good. But you can buy and listen to the MP3/FLAC right now, RSD hasn't prevented anybody from buying or listening to that song. The artist is still getting supported by digital sales, in fact they're probably getting supported way more that way than by selling a handful of vinyl records to collectors. I have two niche records on order right now that won't arrive until late spring and RSD is probably to blame but I'm not complaining about it.

Big Mean Jerk posted:http://cactusmusictx.com/ I find Heights to be pretty chill. They're "Just In" bin ordered by days of the week can often be a gold mine. They have a pretty good jazz/funk section to boot, and the in stores are nice. I absolutely agree with Cactus and typically avoid that store unless I'm in the area with time to kill. However, if I'm that close to Cactus I'd rather go to Sound Exchange. Super small, but I dig their eclectic/esoteric section. End of an Ear is super duper great. I almost prefer that over Waterloo (which comes off as the cooler big brother to Cactus).

Ahahahahaha, suck it flippers! https://www.polyvinylrecords.com/product/plays_the_music_of_twin_-1 Also I just ordered this off Bull Moose earlier today, but now it's "Unavailable" so I hope I don't get screwed out of a copy: http://www.bullmoose.com/p/22328192 No idea how many RSD leftover copies they had, but I would assume it was first come, first served and the order did go through without any problems so... e: Item shipped!
