C'mon already!!!!

OASIS - Complete 12" Singles Box
DAVID BOWIE - Live In Berlin 1990 (Sound+Vision Tour, 3LP)

At least since it's a picture disc there is no label and you can wash it in the sink with little issue.

 

I want what I get every year...a list that I’m lukewarm about, then a day when I spend 500 bucks and get a bunch of records I love.

 

The last two Matthew Sweet RSDs fit this description.

 

You obviously don't understand what the event is all about.

 

Extended "Genesis Live" and "Viva! Roxy Music"

 

The Replacements - The **** Hits The Fans

 

I do. According to prices I usually see that weekend, it's about ebay flippers.

I love the concept, but it's become a circus. People camping out for hours, even overnight, it's nuts. I always found record shopping to be a mentally calming, enjoyable exercise, and RSD is sort of the opposite of that, even aside from the profiteers. There's no guarantee I'd even be able to get the one or two things I really want without being one of the first few people in line, and I just don't have that kind of determination. But I also think that's a lame way to distribute important titles.

(I also think the increasing complaints about flawed/cheap pressings around this time is due to the strain on pressing plants and inevitable lack of QC due to the flood of RSD releases, which isn't really good for the hobby or the format long-term, but I digress)

 

The Who - Live at Hull on vinyl.

 

Now we're talking!

 

Simples.....

A Monkees Missing Links Box expanded to include any odds and ends that have surfaced since the original releases. Rhino is missing a trick by not having this out already.
Mono reissues of Bonzo Dog Doo Dah LPs

 

Another Apple/Capitol Beatles 4 x 45 rpm box.

 

A U2 release of their Apollo show and or the Live Point Depot show from New Year's 1989

Expanded reissue of Dream Syndicates Medicine Show album

Simple Minds Black And White 050505

David Bowie Live album from the Sound & Vision tour

Reissue of The Story of The Clash Vol, 1

I'm sure I can come up with more given time.

 

The Telstar label back catalog for The Greenhornes

 

Rush - live in chicago 1996 (or 1997). It would be nice to have the whole show that the Test for Echo songs on Different Stages came from.

I like the Pink Floyd 1977 live album idea too.

 

ZZ Top - Salt Lick / Miller's Farm (exact repro' of Scat 45)

Jethro Tull - Sunshine Day / Aeroplane

Rush - Not Fade Away / You Can't Fight It

Mellow Candle - Feeling High / Tea With The Sun

Rodriguez - I'll Slip Away / You'd Like To Admit It

Tim Buckley - Once Upon A Time / Lady, Give Me Your Key



The Residents - Buster & Glen EP (pink wax, same style cover as Duck Stab! EP)



The Residents - The Bunny Boy

Grant Lee Buffalo - Copperopolis

Grant Lee Buffalo - Jubilee

 

Again...

 

...and then the RSD hangover when you wonder why the hell you spent $500 on all these damn records, some of which you don't even like.

 

AC/DC : Australian Albums
TNT
Dirty Deeds
High Voltage

These were around £7.99 back in the early 80's on import. I wish I had bought them back then.

 

That still goes for crazy money. I'm not sure why he didn't reissue it himself. Even if he didn't want to do a large run, a limited run would likely sell out.

I remember many years ago he mentioned the possibility of lp reissues.

 

There have been several, not to mention ones from Paul and Ringo.

 

And a fair chance to actually buy them, at retail price, at an actual record store!

Sorry, am a bit sour about missing out on the Evans release, and from the incessant gouging.

 

No whining
