I really want that Romeo Void at the Mabuhay. A buddy of mine queued up at Tower Records in Shibuya an hour ago and the store opens in 2- hours. If he doesn’t exhaust the ¥35,000 in his pocket on RSD Saturday releases, I might be the owner of it…
There was a gent outside Music Millennium, one of the oldest record stores in Portland, waiting to be first in line for RSD... at 11am on Friday. More power to him.
And good luck on getting the Romeo Void! If you're friend strikes out, let me know.
Hey buddy! So jealous of everything you are doing.
Don’t worry too much about Barry Louis Polisar’s ‘My brother thinks he’s a banana’. It’s more for my daughter than myself, I’m sure you will come across it soon enough. Also if you come across a copy of AUM’s album called ‘Resurrection’ I’v been trying to get half decent copy of that album for years, they only pressed in the US and would love a OG copy.
Hopefully you will be getting your copies of Mud soon, let me know when you get it.
Now onto RSD, it’s not really my thing, I’m all about having an original copy, for example that copy of The Groundhogs ‘Crosscut Saw’ you can buy an original decent copy here in the UK for only £10 very easily so why does anyone need a reissue?
I don’t want to start ranting, I love the whole idea of record store day is great that it brings the whole vinyl community together to help out independent record stores which is amazing, but Iv had some bad experiences with RSD the past couple years that has put me off. I get up early and stand in lines for hours to get the records that I wanted only to find out they have already sold out, for example I really wanted the new black keys record this year (Im big fan of early black keys) and I was 10th in line at my local record store only to find out it was sold out already and talking to the record owner they only pressed 400 copies for the whole country which worked 2 copies per store. The most annoying thing is that I thought well ok maybe I not have gotten it but the people who do will enjoy it at least, only to find there are bunch for sale already online selling for £100’s already!!! 😡
I also have had in the past when I do get my hands on a copy from RSD that might be a limited exclusive press from an artist I like, it just never is any good as what the artist has done in the past.
Look I’m ranting now, I’m going to stop but like I said RSD is a great thing but Iv just not had a lot of luck with it, maybe next year.
All good points on RSD, Martin. I have a love/hate thing with it as well. I'm stoked that they finally got the Acoustic Steve McQueen record back in print but I don't understand why a yellow vinyl version of a pretty typical Joan Jett album was necessary. There's always enough exclusive new stuff to get me excited tho. I'm just in that lucky position where I get promos of a bunch of the releases sent to me so I don't have to wait on line for potential disappointment.
