RSDBF16 - Record Store Day Black Friday 2016 Releases

What's the point of that?? Possibly the best Dagger studio disc gets chopped up for a gimmicky RSD release? Count me out.

 

I'm gonna get bent over a barrel on the Garcia/Reflections. Only bought 3 last RSD all on the auction site. I did OK.

 

Really interested in that Dennis Coffey release, but the rest is pretty much typical RSD garbage that'll be clogging the bins all year.

 

I'm wondering if there's anything on that Beach Boys album that's not on the DCC LP?
Will it have the full length (non-fade) version of "Surfin'", and the Ariola 45 version of "Surfin' Safari".

 

Wish "Popeye" was Harry's demos.

 

Not really though.

 

What's the point of this? Aren't originals of the soundtrack available for next to nothing?

 

I think if you hold any slab of vinyl between your buttocks, you'll accomplish the same thing.

 

LOL only one way to find out...

 

There's isn't anything really interesting for me this time around. I'm kind of thinking about the Billy Idol, but I doubt I'll have problems finding it.

 

Not much of interest to me, other than the Erykah Badu and Amanda Palmer

 

I thought NY had a new boxset coming out?

 

As I understand it, you are not forced to participate in RSD.

 

I do believe he does, but I didn't think it was a RSD exclusive.

 

Alice Cooper for moi.

 

I want to pick up the Soundgarden EP, but they've been known to brickwall their LPs pretty badly these days.

 

Here's the official Warners press release:

October 27th, 2016 — Warner Bros. Records and Rhino Records has announced they will make a series of vinyl singles and albums available on November 25th in honor of Record Store Day’s “Black Friday” celebration. Originally, Black Friday – now in its 7th year-- was created by large corporate retailers to drive consumers to stores by promoting deals and discounted prices on mass-produced products. RSD’s Black Friday subverts this tradition by creating special limited-edition pieces, often numbered, from a diverse list of beloved artists. RSD’s version of Black Friday celebrates the pieces themselves and honors the special independent record stores that carry them.

I wish they would have added the "Food, Food, Food" song.

 

I am a little more excited for the Porno For Pyros release knowing that ORG Music is behind it...but again, the original CD wasn't a loudness wars victim and I'm guessing the source from '96 may be 16-bit DATs so I'm not sure it's going to be a title I'm going to get up early and stand in a line for.

 

Just ordered Bob's Royal Albert vinyl from Amazon France. Not a bad price: $27.

 

I know, right? I've burned my own personal "Popeye Complete" disc with both the album and Harry's demos on it. And "Food Food Food" is just a rip from a DVD or something and sounds awful. Would love a nice sounding copy of that.

I love this album. Had the cassette when I was just a tot.

 

Ooo remastered Soleil by Francoise Hardy. That might get me to a store if it's RSD exclusive. I have a nice Canadian original but I'd pick that up for sure.

 

Looks like the Billy Idol triple LP live album is pressed at Rainbo.

It's just a straight reissue right? And it isn't even hard to find the original. I think it's on discogs for under 10 bucks unless I am missing something with this release?
