as a sidebar to calling Record Exchange a pretty decent store I will note that this Record Store Day nonsense is totally outta hand. (I know this has been griped about on other threads but I can't help myself.) they had racks and racks of ridiculous shit like a new pressing (or maybe it's the first time on vinyl, whatever) of Billy Bragg and Wilco's Mermaid Avenue for $39.99. Black Friday RSD Special Price!!
― dmr, Monday, 2 December 2013 16:43 (ten years ago) link
The larger label stuff for RSD are always catering to a crowd that probably isn't very interested in vinyl at all and for such silly prices.For example I'm expecting to see a Hootie & The Blowfish 180 gram reissue for $42.99 at this point.
I don't remember seeing anything even slightly interesting personally on the Black Friday list this year. To be be fair to the whole concept there are usually at least a few neat items.

i kinda wanted one of the black friday RSD things this year --michael hurley 78rpm covering E.C. Ball's "Early Bird Always Gets The Worm."
― ian, Tuesday, 3 December 2013 02:01 (ten years ago) link
oh, i guess that cover is not on the 78... just on the new tribute comp.still want the 78.
― ian, Tuesday, 3 December 2013 02:02 (ten years ago) link
last time i checked, the store where moe works has a copy. ill grab it for you if so!
― 69, Tuesday, 3 December 2013 17:25 (ten years ago) link
yup, we still got one at $19.98 (UGH) but i would imagine you should be able to find this locally.
as for the billy bragg and wilco:a. it is a great record, you're crazyb. yes, the price is insane but the lacquers were cut by the best in the business and the vinyl was pressed at a plant in germany that is supposed to be #1 in the world. with that in mind it's not actually as outrageously priced as some of the other stuff that came out friday (like the grateful dead acoustic set that i really want but is also $40+ for a double lp)
anyway fuck a RSD release. the only other things i wanted (townes and gene clark) were just limited color pressings and will come out on black vinyl (hopefully at a more reasonable price) so i'll hold off...
― moe handy, Tuesday, 3 December 2013 23:05 (ten years ago) link
what were the guy & townes records? i'm so outta da record store loop. didn't even know the hurley was coming out til tompkins square posted abt it on facebook.
― ian, Tuesday, 3 December 2013 23:06 (ten years ago) link
i traded a bunch of old cds to amoeba for that billy bragg/wilco reish, it was worth it. sounds great.
― christmas candy bar (al leong), Tuesday, 3 December 2013 23:11 (ten years ago) link
gene is white light demos. townes is unreleased studio and demos, early 70s. both on omnivore.
― moe handy, Tuesday, 3 December 2013 23:12 (ten years ago) link
oh lol i misread gene clark for guy clark. jeeze.
― ian, Tuesday, 3 December 2013 23:51 (ten years ago) link
fwiw I like the Wilco record and have had it on CD since it came out but I'm never gonna pay 40 bucks for something like that. "pressed at the world's top pressing plant" just doesn't mean anything to me ... maybe one day I'll be an audiophile like that but up to this point I'm just not.
― dmr, Wednesday, 4 December 2013 16:30 (ten years ago) link
really I guess my beef is somewhat with the price of new records in general, regular old double LPs are routinely 25 bucks now.
― dmr, Wednesday, 4 December 2013 16:33 (ten years ago) link
Hey Ian, there's an old warehouse here filled with junk and they have a crate of 78's, mostly still in sleeves. I almost just want the sleeves, labels like King, Coral, Vocalion, 4Star, and Columbia. Artist like Eddie Arnold and his Tennessee Plowboys, Lefty Frizzell, Hank Locklin, but there are a few odd ones, like artist with bagpipe accompaniment and whistling with string band. Some look unplayed, some are scuffed, and I don't know how much scuffing affects playback on 78's? They are a dollar each, are they worth buying? Or, would you want me to buy them for you? The guy said he would make a deal on the whole lot, probably $20?
― JacobSanders, Wednesday, 4 December 2013 16:50 (ten years ago) link
@dmr. yeah, man, i'm right there with you re: not being an audiophile and not giving a shit about the plant but my point is that at least those wilco records legitimately cost more to manufacture than the other shit that's going for $30 single lps and $45 double lps or whatever.
― moe handy, Wednesday, 4 December 2013 20:40 (ten years ago) link
i'd buy em all for $20. it's hard to tell w/o knowing the names of the artists, but lefty is great, early hank locklin can be good etc. scuffing is not a big deal on 78s tbh.
― ian, Wednesday, 4 December 2013 21:01 (ten years ago) link

yeah I hear you. and I did not know about the particularities of the pressing so that was news to me.
― dmr, Wednesday, 4 December 2013 21:33 (ten years ago) link
I'll take photos of the labels with Tera's iphone next time I'm there.
― JacobSanders, Wednesday, 4 December 2013 21:36 (ten years ago) link
Yep, I didn't know until I received the record that Pat Smear was on it, I've had mp3s of it for about 10 years, that's how long it's taken me to find a cheap copy of it.

I love the Kitchen Cynics cover of Tom Rapp's "Stardancer" so much.I've got a few KC cd's, I think, but nothing has hit me quite the same as that one tune.
― Trip Maker, Monday, 9 December 2013 14:57 (ten years ago) link
is that on the first rapp tribute? i remember there being some good stuff on there, need to pick that up sometime. the 2nd/3rd tribute double has some nice stuff too, especially like the galbraith cover of everybody's got pain.

Yep, Volume One of For the Dead In Space. There are a couple of really great tunes on it, including the Tower Recordings "I Saw the World."

Was looking through some dollar Latin albums at the swap meet today and there was this '60s organ record that I bought. Turns out that it's this guy:
http://www.allmusic.com/artist/lafayette-mn0002155574
So good! Band with twangy twelve-string guitar, versions of "A Man and a Woman," "Green Grass," "You Won't See Me," some Roberto Carlos songs. Version of "Black Is Black" that almost sounds like Booker T.

stumbled across them via a south korean ebayer for a very reasonable sum ;-)
only time i've actually found any shirley in a shop was a reissue of sweet england early last decade after reading about her in the mid-nineties in the electric muse: folk into folk rock book (which i heartily recommend). still remember the wtf is this look from the guy when i took it to the counter.
