I'm theoretically in favour of RSD, but more and more it is just looking like an excuse for people to try selling things on eBay at ridiculous prices for something that came out yesterday.

How much were the Husker Du - In A Free Land 7" singles?
― Odysseus, Sunday, 17 April 2016 16:26 (eight years ago) link
I got two things yesterday, and I'm very happy I went out:
Antena - Camino Del Sol (Joakim & Todd Terje Remix)
East River Pipe - Goodbye California

£12.99. The fuck, you can buy a Step Forward original for less than that!
LOL, not in the US, starts at $35 on Discogs
all those SV singles are $10 in my stores, w/ no sales tax.

But again, I like-but-don't-love that period of The Fall. I mean, I guess I really do love "Repetition," but, err, I dunno. If they were $7.99 I'd have bought 'em both.
Sorta regret passing on this:

Went back today to see if they still had any, but nope.

I'd really love to have got the Blanck Mass record but I guess it's gone. There were only a few and I'm not queuing up for it. Fuck that.

I saw a few of those Husker singles today, £12 or thereabouts.

While there are a handful of things on here that pique my curiosity somewhat, this is the second year in a row where I probably won't bother participating in the actual event, as literally nothing on this list appears in any way essential to me

Ken Boothe, Dillinger, Leroy Smart, Delroy Wilson – White Man In Hammersmith Palais [7 ... this sounds interesting - have the artists originally mentioned in the track recorded a collaborative cover? (Apart from Delroy Wilson, who is no longer with us.)

I have had a mixed bag of experiences with RSD (posts above will attest to this)but I made a list and might try and get to a local emporium this year for a thing or two on it...
DEF LEPPARD - The Def Leppard EP LPFLOWER TRAVELLIN' BAND – Anywhere LP/CDGOAT – Goatfuzz 7”KYLESA - Live at Maide Vale Studio CDIKE REIKO - You, Baby LP/CDTHE RUNAWAYS - Cherokee/Gold Star Sessions LPPETER SCHILLING - Major Tom 7”SLICK RICK - The Great Adventures Of… Book/CD/7”THE WIPERS - Better off Dead 7”
I am concerned about the cost of the Slick Rick but it seems really cool (the album as a kid's book with CD and 7"). At the end of the day, it will come down to the cost and it really sucks that there is no way to ascertain an MSRP or whatever until you're there. And the LPs have to be worth it *to me* so we will see what I pick up.
I expect the 7" singles to be ridiculously overpriced which is why I only care about three of them.

the Wipers 7" is cool, those tracks aren't on the 3CD anthology set or any official reissues iirc
― sleeve, Tuesday, 21 March 2017 19:58 (seven years ago) link
The UK list is so much more interesting than the US list this year. I'm really gutted that the Cocteau Twins and Asobi Seksu reissues are UK only.
― kitchen person, Tuesday, 21 March 2017 20:00 (seven years ago) link
xp the Wipers 7" is on History Of Portland Punk CD but that's OOP AFAIK
― Colonel Poo, Tuesday, 21 March 2017 20:03 (seven years ago) link
The cheapest price for that is https://www.discogs.com/Various-History-Of-Portland-Punk-Vol-1/release/29923075+ shipping on Discogs, so it's probably OOP.
― Loud guitars shit all over "Bette Davis Eyes" (NYCNative), Tuesday, 21 March 2017 22:24 (seven years ago) link

I love ILM for these little tidbits. Rectified this on my digital copy, and grabbed the three otherwise unreleased songs from the "Live 1984" album while I was at it.

I guess I'm just naive about how things work rights-wise, but I was surprised to see Simon Raymonde post on Facebook that the first he knew of the two Cocteau Twins reissues for RSD this year was seeing them on the list announced last night.
― NWOFHM! Overlord (krakow), Wednesday, 22 March 2017 10:19 (seven years ago) link
NYCNative - I can try to check a *rough* indication of UK price on the Slick Rick release when I'm back in the shop over the weekend. Might help to get a ballpark idea of what it'll be.
― NWOFHM! Overlord (krakow), Wednesday, 22 March 2017 10:25 (seven years ago) link
Pro tip: go to a store at 4pm after the madness and grab the great jazz reissues, rough guides, and world music stuff that will still be there
― blonde redheads have more fun (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Wednesday, 22 March 2017 11:00 (seven years ago) link
man those Bevis Frond reissues look pretty sweet but I can't justify buying them for a few bonus tracks I still don't have
― sleeve, Wednesday, 22 March 2017 14:09 (seven years ago) link
Thanks, krakow, but the label who is putting it out actually replied to a post I made on their Facebook page and said the MSRP was $35 which is the high end of reasonable for me. Not sure if that correlates to the UK price tho.
― Loud guitars shit all over "Bette Davis Eyes" (NYCNative), Wednesday, 22 March 2017 14:17 (seven years ago) link
Cool, no worries. That's good of them and sounds pretty reasonable. I don't know the label, but I won't be surprised if we'll be paying a fair bit more over here.
― NWOFHM! Overlord (krakow), Wednesday, 22 March 2017 15:03 (seven years ago) link
was perusing a local record store's seven-inch singles section last month and it was packed with lame RSD exclusives (they were still trying to sell 'em for kinda ridiculous prices though). cynicism aside, I do want that Luna Penthouse deluxe reissue ... hopefully it'll be around after the big day.
― tylerw, Wednesday, 22 March 2017 15:06 (seven years ago) link
the price of rsd singles is insane. in the late 80s, an indie 45 went for somewhere between $1.50 and 3.00, iirc. 20 years later, the price had almost doubled ($3.00-$5.00 c 2007). but the recent rsd singles i've checked out have often been priced between $7.00 and $15.00. close to the price of a new LP in some cases.
― Balðy Dodders (contenderizer), Wednesday, 22 March 2017 17:42 (seven years ago) link
and yeah, the bulk of them seem to sit in bins for months if not years
the husker du 7" last year was about £14. I didn't buy it
― Odysseus, Wednesday, 22 March 2017 18:08 (seven years ago) link
I'd somewhat like that Föllakzoid + J. Spaceman, but last time I looked at any RSD stuff all the LPs were at least £25, so I will most likely continue not doing RSD.
Also I don't really care about the J. Spaceman part and am not going to get up early to beat Spiritualized fans to the front of the queue.
― a passing spacecadet, Wednesday, 22 March 2017 18:16 (seven years ago) link
the j. spaceman & kid millions LP/7" set from a couple years back initially sold for 20-some bucks. you can now have it for about $5.00. so you might just wanna wait a while.
― Balðy Daudrs (contenderizer), Wednesday, 22 March 2017 18:22 (seven years ago) link
Worth knowing, thanks! I used to know some v obsessive Spiritualized fans so I kind of forget it is not still the 90s.
― a passing spacecadet, Wednesday, 22 March 2017 18:27 (seven years ago) link
Bear in mind, cost of living and inflation means LPs are not really that expensive compared to 20 years ago.
Singles £7 is a similar story. £15 is not.
