Still waiting for the online stuff to show up, I got lucky with all those and was able to find them at or very close to msrp/normal retail prices. Hooray, capitalism!

 

Is your neighbor's dog the Hound of the Baskervilles?

Cujo?

Old Yeller?

 

Pm'd You

 

Anyone who is still hunting down Wire's Nine Sevens, Stranded has it for sale.

Wire - Nine Sevens 9x7" Pinkflag - Stranded Records

 

Same misprint/error on mine

 

You do realize the Johnny Cash singles was a free giveaway?

 

I probably saw at least 30 of ‘em last Saturday in the 4 or 5 stores I stopped by.

 

Not anymore, they don't!

 

And the word of mouth about it will likely boost the wider release, another plus.

 

Capitol Records did a vinyl issue of this. 1 LP with about 37 minutes per side. I passed on it.

Who put this one out? I'd like to get it. I see an import 2LP of this listed from 2014. I don't see a RSD listing.

I was there at this show. They actually started the show with "Bad, Bad Sign", then went into "Feelin' Alright". One of the best Cocker shows I've been to.

 

Yes it was released as an RSD release in Australia by Universal. It's a 2LP set. I've had a look and it doesn't look like it was released anywhere but here for RSD. The sound is excellent and it's a great performance. It would have been an incredible show to be at! I only managed to see him once when he was out here in 2011.

 

RE: Wire Box Set

Don't feel too bad. Stranded was asking $114 for the set?? The retail stores prices were more like $89.

 

Saw it in Newbury Comics late on RSD for $129. Ridiculous.

 

Yep. But I’m not in Canada and don’t know anyone who lives there who could get one.

So I need to price one out.

 

I waited in line and wasn’t too far back, but missed my most wanted get: David Bowie, Welcome to the Blackout. I had the toddler with me, and we left the store empty handed to meet mama at a museum. After a little while, I headed to store #2, which was yet to open. David Bowie went fast, but I was able to snag the mono Piper at the Gates of Dawn and the Brian Eno/Kevin Shields single, neither of which I’d seen at the first store. I then went to store #3 and struck out there. I arrived at store #4 with zero expectations after the line had completely dwindled, but they still had the live Bowie! I snagged the last copy, the live Wilco, Jeff Buckley Live at Sin-É, and the Ornette Coleman release. I went back Monday at lunch and store #4 still had the two Grant Green titles, so I picked them up, too.

Pretty good time, I’d say, even with all the searching at multiple stores. I was lucky to find everything on my want list and then some.

 

And based on early reports about the upcoming album reissues, the mastering on these might be pretty crappy too.

 

Also, reports are that the sound quality is horrendous.

 

Although maybe not, as a guy in the Wire Reissues thread reports...

Dammit!

 

Has anyone seen a Monterey Pop currently out there that’s appropriately priced? Thanks

 

Im waiting for my copy of the Garcia too and cant wait to hear it.

 

I saw one yesterday, but I might not be able to get over there until later in the week.

 

Could I call them and have them or possibly you send to me? You can PM me if you like.

 

Anyone seen any Cash Folsom prison box sets?

 

a local store had quite a few sunday-I can check tomorrow if I can get away early.

 

Purchased what turned out to be a pretty badly defective Fleetwood Mac ‎– The Alternate Tango In The Night

Skips for most of track 1 on both sides and then has static throughout the rest of the sides.

Sent in an email to RSD...so we'll see what they can do about it.
