Is this Noel’s new full album? I’m a big fan of his so this would excite me

Probably nothing since last year was a massive beating at Josey Records where I waited a long time to come away empty handed. The juice isn't worth the squeeze though I'd like to get that Crow and Lost In Translation soundtracks but I'll just see if some of my usual online place have leftover inventory. 

[4th&Five 41,590]

Yeah, I gave up on getting anything rare years ago. What it has become sort of defeats the original purpose.

I will be buying the PJ record through the fan club though.

It won't be, it's a remix.

i remember standing in line at backspin records 10 years ago for record store day, then getting inside and it was like walmart on black friday. can't imagine how much worse it's gotten since then. never again will i get up early on a saturday for that shit. 

[coolsax 49]

I always go to piranha get there early and usually get what I want.  Looking for a lot of the live items this year.  Green Day, billy Joel, Elton John, and Mumford also Weezer teal album.  Wanted stray cats single but it was canceled.

[CooterBrown 18,029]

I thought it was today and rolled up to Waterloo at 7am. Ugh.

[coolsax 49]

Your going to need to be there earlier than 7 .  They’re opening at 8 next weekend

Got there just a hour before last year and had no issues getting what I wanted other than the Type O release. I went and got in line at Breakaway which doesn’t open early and picked it up there.

This year, I really just want the Wax Trax documentary soundtrack since it comes with two tickets to a screening where Ministry is going to play a set of just Wax Trax era shit.

So looks like Jeff Tweedy is releasing WARMER on RSD... a follow-up to last year's WARM, which I really liked.

I've never gone early on RSD so have no idea if I'll be able to get this or not... the release said they pressed 5,000 copies for RSD... no idea how rare that is / how likely I would get it.

[coolsax 49]

5K copies is at the high end of copies pressed so it shouldn't be too hard if you're near a decent participating record store.

[oSuJeff97 3,435]

Thanks. We have a Josey Records in Tulsa and also there's another pretty big local store here called Starship along with a few smaller Mom & Pop type places.  I'm hopeful that between Josey and Starship I'll be able to acquire one.

A lot of record stores will publish on their webpage/facebook which RSD releases they'll have. Not all stores get all releases.

[oSuJeff97 3,435]

Thanks. Yeah I was planning on running by both places some time this week to chat them up about it and see how many copies each might be getting so I'll know how early I need to get there, lol.

There were people lined up at Waterloo last night at 11pm. Good grief.

[stupidgringo 66]

Stood in line for about 30 min at 11:30 at End of an Ear. It was raining pretty hard, but no one seemed to be discouraged. Power was out in the store, so no lights and no music for about 45 minutes.

Picked up the Lightnin Hopkins RSD release and a used copy of Wilco's Star Wars. My 16 y/o son wanted the Rush RSD release of Signals, but there were none to be had. He picked up a used 200g pressing of Fly By Night and was pretty pleased.

Happy Record Store Day, everyone!

[JNip 132]

Went to Waterloo Records at noon, grabbed every album that I wanted and left. No line, easy. Saw that a few of the albums were gone but the ones that I wanted were still there. 

Super pumped. Even bought a Louis Armstrong Disney vinyl for whenever I have kids.

Got in line at Waterloo at 7am. Line was around the block and back down the alley to the dumpsters behind 24 Diner.

The Wax Trax Industrial Accident vinyl was sold out instantly. Picked up these instead...

[oSuJeff97 3,435]

It took two stops, but I got the last copy of the Jeff Tweedy record at one of my local stores.  Loving it.

[Noah Fence 480]

I picked up the Townes Van Zant double album of his greatest hits.  I think I was more pleased to find a copy of Jerry Jeff's Ridin' High for $1.   

[HookMD 37]

Both Frank Black albums, Mastodon single, Link Wray 7"

I seriously thought about grabbing this but passed on it.  How is it?

It's really good.  As with any greatest hits compilation, I was familiar with most of the songs.  I thought the sound quality was top notch.

[oSuJeff97 3,435]

Nice.

I was kind of kicking myself for not grabbing that copy, lol.
