so one of these just happened? seems like there was zero publicity, I picked up the Against Me! EP
the manager at my local said the two most in demand items were the Death Grips LP and the Guardians Of The Galaxy cassette release, LOL

The Black Friday version of this is usually not as big an event. For me there was absolutely NOTHING interesting.
― Evan, Tuesday, 2 December 2014 04:47 (nine years ago) link
Guardians of the Galaxy cassette and, surprisingly, Faith No More single seemed to be the things people wanted here. All I cared about was the Sneakers 10", which I got.

I got a 7" of J Mascis covering Mazzy Star's 'Fade Into You' and it's great.

I bought the New Order 81-82 EP on clear vinyl but it will most likely remain sealed on the shelf with the 2 other copies of the original pressing I have.
― brotherlovesdub, Tuesday, 2 December 2014 17:21 (nine years ago) link
Scored the Dead thing, Bug / Earth thing, Penny Arkade reissue, and that Mascis thing, though I have to say if I didn't work at a record store, none of these things would have gotten me out of the house (maybe the Dead thing, but I have enough '72 to last me a lifetime).
We had 44 people lined up outside - one guy arrived at 2:30am. He wanted the single copy of the Death Grips vinyl we received. He got it.
Guardians tape was the other hot item for some fucking reason.
― Jimmywine Dyspeptic, Tuesday, 2 December 2014 23:15 (nine years ago) link
I picked up the Scharpling & Wurster Rock Rot and Rule LP, which was just a leftover from last year's RSD. Was searching for that J. Mascis 7" but couldn't find it anywhere, pretty bizarre for Seattle. Maybe I can find it at the Sub Pop store in the SeaTac airport.

and the Guardians Of The Galaxy cassette release, LOL
OMG yes, this was apparently super popular. About a week before Thanksgiving I was standing at the counter at Reckless waiting to pay and this late 20s looking girl came in to ask about Black Friday and the GotG cassette. She asked if she could put one on hold because she had to work on Black Friday and couldn't make it in, only to break down in literal tears when the guy explained how RSD works and how she'd really need to come in to buy it. I wanted to offer to just buy her the soundtrack on CD and dub her a cassette copy or something, she was so crushed.
But, yeah, apparently this was a very big thing.

It angers me that the cassette shell is CLEARLY patterned after 70s or early 80s designs (Realistic maybe?) but the J-card is Maxell from the 80s
Actually it doesn't but I imagine someone's flipping out about it somewhere.

Nah, we all used to mix up the index cards, not on purpose though.

Oh I know man. I'm old. Half of my cards were just pictures cut out from magazines with a post-it note on the inside.

Anyway, I was a bit angry when I bought Steve Lamaq's "Weekender" tape, it looked all authentic on the inlay cover. The cassette was the usual normal mass-produced thing. Boo.

This. Sorry my pad crashed. That has the cd version, the tape box looked the same. Bought back in the day. Tape was lousy quality and kept snagging anyway.

i would argue that that, and not john peel, is the blueprint for 6music
― koogs, Thursday, 4 December 2014 11:08 (nine years ago) link
Wouldn't argue at all.
One cassette played occasionally, in the car, in 1996 and then superceded, is great.
One radio station playing this on repeat for ever, is not.

was talking to a local record guy who used to drop a grand or two on this crap every year and flip it, and he told me that he can't make nearly as much anymore b/c everything starts off so expensive to begin with

ork singles has a ton of amazing music -- will be a fucking crime if it's not released in a more accessible format. i dunno, there's always cool stuff floating around amidst the RSD bullshit, but I'm not gonna go.
― tylerw, Friday, 6 March 2015 23:36 (nine years ago) link
I'm guessing they'll probably wait a while and do it as a 2LP or something? I hope? I can't fuck with singles box sets.
― Jawn DWYCK (GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ), Saturday, 7 March 2015 00:09 (nine years ago) link
Yeah hopefully. As an object I'm sure that set will be lovely but as a listening experience a pain.

http://download.recordstoreday.com/free/RSD_2015_RELEASES_WEBSITE.pdf
― Evan, Tuesday, 10 March 2015 17:31 (nine years ago) link
Here is what I will (half-heartedly) try for:
Larry Young - Selections from Larry Young in Paris - The ORTF RecordingsBrian Eno - My Squelchy LifeV/A - An On-U Journey Through Time Doc and Merle Watson - Ballads from the Gap Bonnie 'Prince' Billy & Broeder Dieleman 7"The Pop Group - Versions Galore
Maybe the Sun Ra things, though I have Sun Ra LPs I've bought this year that I haven't listened to yet. Maybe those Brain May soundtracks. Anyone heard them?
Gotta say, if I didn't work at a record store, I'm not sure I would bother. For my tastes, this is the least interesting year yet. This is also the first year I'm not planning to buy the Grateful Dead RSD release, even though I kinda like Spring 90. A 5 LP box though? Can't justify it.
Also, I heard rumblings of a Feelies 7" box set, but didn't notice it on the list. That would get me out, but still wouldn't get me to wait in line with dweebs looking to score / flip Run The Jewels vinyls.
― Jimmywine Dyspeptic, Tuesday, 10 March 2015 22:33 (nine years ago) link
think the feelies thing you're thinking of is the ork singles set on numero, which includes a (previously unreleased) feelies 7"
― tylerw, Tuesday, 10 March 2015 22:37 (nine years ago) link
oh, yeah, forgot about that ork thing! Hmmm. Might get that if there's one available. Like I said, my heart's not really in it this year.
― Jimmywine Dyspeptic, Tuesday, 10 March 2015 22:46 (nine years ago) link

― sleeve, Tuesday, 10 March 2015 22:47 (nine years ago) link
Yeah, I'd go for the Ork thing. About a year ago I was looking them up on Discogs. So, I deserves one.
