Black Friday Record Store Day 2015

MPO in the deadwax, and in tiny letters "thesoundmasters", if that helps
Nice inner sleeves, but no liner notes and no gatefold

 

Mine starts in 45 minutes. I might head over there. I only want the Jerry Lee Lewis record, not much else interests me.

 

i picked up the les paul and mary ford 10" and the cardigans, the two i was after

 

Showed up at my local shop in JP 15 minutes before opening and was third in line. Free coffee and record shape cookies - had my two oldest kiddos with me, so they liked that!

Watching the wallet this year, so only had two items on list which I picked up with ease: B-52s live LP and the Cardigans one.

Look forward to listening to both this weekend.

 

Spinning the Zombies BBC. It's definitely a completist piece, mix of lo and mid mono from assorted sources. The performances are interesting though and the interview bits also.

 

Only the Buzzcocks LP for me today. I usually end up getting RSD stuff months later at reduced prices so I do not go for the feeding frenzy. The Wes Montgomery LP looked interesting but I had to pass because I'm way over budget on music for the time being.

 

Thanks! How does it sound?

 

What store did you find the signed copy at?

 

SRC vinyl,Niagara Falls,Canada.

 

That Cardigans sounds fantastic.

 

Good for you, enjoy! I was second in line at the Toronto SRC location, they had two copies of Ben (I got one of them). Neither had the signature. Still happy to have gotten it. Any chance you want to trade??!!

 

Ha Ha

 

So, is today (Friday, Nov. 27th) supposed to be RSD? I looked on Rasputin's website, only a blurb about BF holiday kickoff. Went by the store, no mention of it or special hours on the windows. Wtf, Rasputin's? Don't you want my money?

 

Was the garbage vinyl pink? The copies I see locally don't say anything about colored vinyl on the hype sticker and the price is pretty steep(50 bucks)

 

Best RSD yet. No lines or crowd here in Chicago. Picked up the Jazz at Massey Hall, Wes Montgomery, Circles Around the Sun, and The Arcs. The weather is pretty crappy so might of played a part. Strolled in a couple of hours after Dusty Grooves opened and was out of there in 15min.

 

I'd sweeten the pot? For real!

 

Got the Lush red vinyl at a great price. Reading this thread made me realize I forgot a few things

 

Wow. Total washout at my local record store. Every year until now there's been 200 people waiting in line. I showed up five minutes before the door opened and they were 30 people in line at best. The owner was looking quite despondent. I actually picked up the Jerry Lee Lewis record I want it. $25. I put it back. I didn't realize it was colored vinyl my arch nemesis

 

listening to jerry right now! sounds really crisp, the colour is super cool.

 

That's ok - we don't want it ANYWAY, right? Coloured vinyl that will be a mess pressing wise. We are the better for it NOT coming over the border!

 

Got Nick Lowe/Los Straightjackets, Wes Montgomery, Phil Collins and Otis Redding. Picked up a copy of Music to drink beer by from a previous record store day. I didn't realize it was in somebody's stack they were buying but the guy told me I could have it if I wanted.

The spirit of giving is alive.

 

B-52's, Buzzcocks, Clash, Bowie - Earthlings, Jesus and Mary Chain, Lush, and the new Sigur Ros Takk press since I was there. I think my store liked me today... Only thing I didn't see on my list was Bowie's 1. Outside. Otherwise a pretty good day. Not overly busy at my store, 15 or 20 in line. 2 of the records I got were the only copies. I'm glad I didn't wait until later to go.

 

Me too...nothing beats used original vinyl for me. Just my two cents..

 

RSD exclusives.

 

Went to my fave store - here was the take home:

High Fidelity soundtrack
Dedicated Kinks
Kwyet Kinks
The Zombies BBC Radio Sessions
Say Say Say - McCartney
Link Wray single

and then bought the following Housemartins titles used:

Think For a Minute (UK 12")
Caravan of Love (UK 12")
Build (UK 12")
Happy Hour (UK 12")
The People Who Grinned Themselves To Death (Canadian lp)

Passed on the Sonics box (I know I will be regretting this) and didn't buy the Carl Perkins because it was pressed in cz (said so on the back cover) so I avoided - knowing what issues people had in the past with other related pressings. I also passed on the B52s but if someone tells me that Kevin Gray cut it then I will go back and get it.

For those who got the Sonics box, who mastered the set?
