Mike!! I was so tired after the video that I forgot I had put in my buddy's bag and only realized it while I was editing. Trust me, it's a golden piece of my haul. Thank you again, and thanks for being in the vid :)
I worked Friday night and got off at 6:30 AM. I went straight to Amoeba and got in line at 7:30 AM. I met you when you were checking out the line. I'm the dude that told you, "what are you doing here, you have too many records." Glad to see you got the Linkin Park. It was nice meeting you. That big ass dog was so cool.
Got to the queue at 4.25 and managed to get: Piper at the gates Zappa’s lumpy gravy The groundhogs scratching the surface L7 Rolling Stones ABBA single Bowie let’s dance Bowie wttb Air sexy boy The open mind the open mind The Vaseline’s dum dum Goldie 25 years Had to eBay for the deviants ptooff! And after watching this great video I’ve hunted down a copy of personal computer as I’d not heard of it before. It looks awesome! Great video as always :-)
I needed the Arcade Fire Ep so badly I got to my record store at 1 am. Yet nobody showed up to line up until 5 am so I was just alone as people kept passing by at 3 in the morning giving me weird look. Glad to say I got the Arcade Fire ep, The Piper at the gates of dawn mono rerelease, Sha Sha, and Twin Fantasy (mirror to mirror).
Courtney Barnett - City Looks Pretty Albert Hammond Jr - Etchings from Francis Trouble The Doors - Matrix II Jimi Hendrix - Mannish Boy Led Zeppelin - Rock and roll Florence + the Machine - Sky Full Of Song RATM - Live Democratic Convention RTJ Boxset Pink Floyd - Piper at the gates of dawn The Who - The Kids are Alright, Isle of Wight vol 1 &2 Neil Young - Tonight’s the Night live at Roxy Got to streetlight records in SJ at like 530, 15th person in line. Got everything I wanted and met the dude you interviewed in your Black Friday RSD video in Jersey. He was the dad from the dad and son pair at the front of the line. When I showed him the video, it was his first time seeing it
So my experience with RSD was for the most part very exciting and fast paced Got up at 3:00am so I could be first in line at my record store. When I got there only had one person ahead of me so I felt pretty confident that I'd get most of my list. Had a great conversation with this individual and he told me he actually has had conversation with you via email about him possibly doing some t-shirts for you and your channel. Very small world we live in. Anyway we had a plan, the both of us at the top of our list was the Johnny Cash box set. Plan was in place if he seen them he was to grab both and give me one. Only problem our store only had one copy. Sucks being second in line! Lol, however I did get everything else. SoundGarden Asides, Prince 1999, Linken Park Live, Rage Against The Machine, Elvis King of the Ring, Led Zeppelin 7 in., Sugar Ray 7 in, Cheech and Chong Up in Smoke picture disk, John Fogerty picture disk, Whitesnake picture disk, Living Colour Live, Adam Sandler They're All Going to Laugh at you, Disturbed The Lost Children. Stopped at Three record stores and made a day of it. Can't wait until the next one. Peace and keep up the great work. Keep on spinning
I wish I listened to Tangerine Dream and Popol Vuh when I was that young. I only had about 60ish dollars so I bought Car Seat Headrest - Twin Fantasy (Mirror to Mirror) and Swans - Die Tur Ist Zu
Great seeing you! Thanks for including me in the RSD vid again. Got Teenage Bottlerocket, Descendents and The Dwarves. I'll guess I'll have to search for the Rage Against The Machine live record online! Glad to see you snagged a copy.
*Here's my RDS story* you asked 😉 In the UK the mornings are cold and horrible, so the Que usually starts at about 4AM at my local record store in Sheffield *Record Collector* I got in the queue at about 5;40AM and was 22 in line at the doors. (doors open 8am) I got the first few on my list *Bass Communion (Steven Wilson) First LP, Seven Wilson - How big is the space 12" and Wu-tang Clan - Enter the Wu-Tang on cassette* They didn't have the GoGo Penguin album that I wanted, so I ventured off to the other indie stores in my city to find it. I go to *Music Junkie* where instead of organising the records they just dump everything in these lone crates, no order what so ever so going through them is painful. But I grabbed the compilation *Motown Funk Volume 2 (a Motor city production)* I ALWAYS buy a compilation on RSD especially if it's of musicians I am not aware of. Plus I bought the first volume last year (so I had to get this). Then lastly I go to *Bear Tree Records* (probably the best RS in Sheffield) and they were the only store to have *GoGo Penguin V2.0: Special Edition* in stock so I got everything on my list. I still haven't had a chance to listen to my records because I had work a few hours later and I have been sleeping to recover since. Oh and I almost forgot Waner were giving the first people in line a *"Mystery Vinyl"* it's in a white sleeve with white labels on the record and no information with what's on it. I wasn't first in line but *Record Collector* had a stack of 30 of these 12" disks and were giving them to anyone who asked. I have no idea who is on it, but I was told it's new musicians to the Waner label. I've only just woken from my coma and I think I'll finally spin some of my new records today. All in all, *RSD2018* was pretty, pretty, good. 💿
Dude, your taste in music is amazing and right up my alley! Popol Vuh and Tangerine Dream are two of my favourite bands. What are some other bands that you're really into? Would love to see you upload vinyl related videos.
Also, for my girlfriend and I's anniversary today, she got me the MST3K Season 11 soundtrack on Glow in the dark vinyl! Limited to 500 copies and comes with a sweet MST3K Moon slipmat. I know that Glow in the dark records are sonically bad but if anything, it's a great gift and great novelty piece :)
Picked up the National, arcade fire, Led Zeppelin, fleet foxes, vitamin string quartet and trampled by turtles! Is was a great rsd this year! Already excited for Black Friday rsd
My small list: The National - Boxer Live At Brussels Tom Waits - Brawlers (i've got blue vinyl, when it's supposed to be red so that's nice) Balmorhea 7" (i love Shone...my favorite song from the Clear Language sessions) Courtney Barnett - City Looks Pretty (12" single) Steven Wilson 12"
Nice haul. For me: Arcade Fire, Dylan/Dead, Neil Young, National, Fleetwood Mac, Rage, Star Wars die cut, U2, Sufjan, Voidz, Albert Hammond Jr, Parquet Courts, Fleet Foxes, Led Zeppelin and The Shins.
It was a great day. Bought tons of stuff and met some great people at Scotties Record Shop in Summit, NJ. My favorite grab was the daughter soundtrack. Spectacular packaging and beautiful music.
Mine was pretty generic but I got most of what I wanted: The PRINCE "1999" single LP UK edition, Madonna first album Japanese import picture disc, John Fogarty "Centerfield" picture disc and Planet Terror OST on white vinyl. I had the Star Wars Porg picture disc but couldn't bring myself to spend $30 on that, so I passed when I could buy the full OST double LP for $25. What I missed was the Cheech & Chomg "Up In Smoke" picture disc, Spongebob Picture disc, the Pornosonic "70s Porno Music feat Ron Jeremy", David Bowie "Let's Dance" 12" promo and The Vapors "Turning Japanese" 7". Passed on the Duran Duran LPs, Cure LPs, Wolfman Jack LP, B-52s, and a few others I can't remember.
As always I had to make some choices reducing at minimum my list. As I live in Italy here record store day is not popular at all, and since I don't listen Italian music that much I have to buy everything online. With huge shipping prices. This year I bought the Led Zeppelin single and the Blue Planet II Soundtrack which I fell in love with. Also got Niall Horan's EP for my girlfriend and I got if from Spain so I could save lots of money for the shipping.
Urg! I stood in line for 2 hours and 15 min for that Linkin Park album. Sounds like you got there way after opening time and you still managed to get it. I got one coming from Ebay but I paid double for it.
Nevermind....I saw that it was daylight when you were headed there but I guess I got confused. Yea I'm not built for RSD if it requires 10 hours of waiting.
soooo incredibly jealous that you picked up the Arcade Fire EP. I wasn't able to go to my local record store unfortunately and now I'm looking for it online and debating whether or not I wanna drop the cash to pick it up. Been a huge fan of Arcade Fire for a long, long time
Congrats on getting all the stuff you wanted. I missed a few of those titles at my store. My only big break was I got the Jeff Buckley box set and when I turned it over to read the back i noticed it was #0002. I went thru the other copies there hoping for number 1. The others were really nigh numbered.
Johnny Cash Live at Folsom 50th Anniversary Box Set, Marvin Gaye Sexual Healing Remixes, Miles Davis Rubberband EP, Ella Fitzgeral Ella at Zardi's, and Zeppelin 7". Good haul!
Great pickups! I got to my local shop around midnight & that got me 1st in line. 3pm is insane. Great to see Doris Norton get a shout. Personal Computer wasn't a RSD release here in the UK but has been reissued this month & mine just arrived today. If you enjoy that one, check out her "Parapsycho" LP, very cool stuff. I'm excited to be visiting LA in July...I'll be assigning a full day to Amoeba :-). My RSD pickups this year - Ben Kweller, The Heads, Fickle Pickle, Tangerine Dream 12", Jobriath. Cheers. Mark.
This year was my first RSD. I wasn't able to get everything I wanted exclusive wise but I did pick up a couple nice records and a movie. 1. High Fidelity on DVD 2. George Thorogood and the Destroyers Bad to the Bone 3. Def Leppard ' s Pyromania 4. Alice Cooper's the Alice Cooper Show The Scorpions Blackout 5. RSD Exclusive 7" of Dismantle Me by the Distillers with a cover done by three Regrettes on the B-side.
The national lp you got there was in such bulk at my store in manchester CT. Like no one picked it up. They had like 10 copies atleast and its a small store. Very odd since they have quite the following. I was looking for the ella fitzgerald but missed out which is ok. But I did pick up the chuck berry hits re issue on orange vinyl. And the real reason i wanted it, it was pressed at RTI. An excellent pressing plant. That and the coup de grace for me was the rough guide to ragtime blues compilation lp. Not everybody's thing but showcases the history of blues and rare to see on lp format vs cd or digital files. You got alot, glad to see you got everytying you wanted. That line at amoeba is crazy! it seems bigger every year I watch your RSD videos.
I was listening to my copy of Arcade Fire EP while watching this video. Also picked up The National and Car Seat Headrest. My very first RSD was pretty successful! I didn't really know what to expect and was expecting just to be in it for the experience but I'm really happy with the outcome.
I was on a budget but I picked up some of the ones that I wanted the most: Car Seat Headrest's Twin Fantasy Biggie's Juicy 12" Aaliyah's Back and Forth 12" I'm in dc and thankfully my record store wasn't as crowded as Amoeba. I got there an hour and a half early and I was seventeenth. But one day I have to try the camp out experience lol.
My picks: Car Seat Headrest - Twin Fantasy (Mirror To Mirror) The Doors - Live At The Matrix (Part 2) Soundgarden - A-sides The National - Boxer (Live In Brussels)
I know there's some heavy collectibility with some of these, but I'd still rather have older records. That said, I scooped up Melvin Sparks "Texas Twister" today among the RSD left-overs.
I happen to love the atmosphere of Record Store Day. Love picking up physical copies of my favorite albums. I did not pick up anything on RSD, but hopefully I will go tomorrow to a one of my local stores here in L.A., after I see Super Troopers 2 of course. Just didn't see anything I wanted to make the trek for the day.
Thanks for this! I was outta commission for a while, and now you have me hunting for Soundgarden 2lp, and Sugar Ray/Zeppelin 7" Gonna watch your 2019 now!
Nice haul Matt! Ben Kweller's "Sha Sha" was the only RSD release for me. Was too hyped over all the jazz and indie classics I was comin' across. Mazzy Star, John Fahey, Yusuf Lateef, Freddie Hubbard, Chet Baker, The Pendletons, and a Peter Green-era Fleetwood Mac did it for me.
How does Amoeba work the distribution? If they have everything on your list do you get it? Do they limit how many you can get? I went to a Rasputin's and they limited us to one selection the first time through. After that it was open to what ever you wanted after getting back in line. Do you know if the bigger stores get better selections? My haul: L7 Comics, Courtney Barnett - The Double EP: A Sea of Split Peas, Catherine Wheel - Happy Days, Derek Smalls - It Don't Get Old (7" sleeve only, record - free), Chuck Berry - Greatest Hits, Rob Base & DJ E-Z Rock - It Takes Two, Jesus Jones - Zeroes + Ones, Sublime - 89 Vision, Record Store Day compilation CD (free), The New Whole Burbank Catalog CD (free), Buffalo Tom 7", Elvis Costello - Someone Else's Heart, Sponge Bob Square Pants 7", Black Moth Super Rainbow / Mike Watts 7", Bo Diddley - 16 all-time greatest hits, Madonna - You Can Dance, Girls In The Garage compilation, Sleigh Bells - Kid Kruschev, The Stooges - The Detroit Edition, Marvin Gaye - Let's Get It On, Two Record Store Day canvas bags (free), Dogfish Head poster (free)
Sorry for the belated update, here’s my haul: 1. The Sundays; 2. The National live at the BBC; 3. Fickle Pickle; 4. Dwarves/ Lucifer’s prank 5. Jobriath...I dunno if this is an rsd exclusive release or not tho!
I got The National Boxer Live in Brussels too. I am even more excited as I have the past to records but never listened to Boxer nor Alligator. Shocking I know. Excited to hear Boxer live first time out.
I got Rage Against the Machine, Run The Jewels, Nas, Ben Kweller, Sujfan, Tim Armstrong, The National, Dr Dre, Cheech and Chong, and The Sponge Bob release for my daughter. I’m surprised you didn’t grab the Ben Kweller?
Got in line at Smash! in DC at 8 am for a 10 am opening and was second in line. At around 9 the owner came around and asked everyone in line the top 5 things they wanted so they'd be ready for you when you walked in. Got the Pink Floyd, George Martin, FIDLAR LPs and the Vapors and Zep 7"s. I REALLY wanted the Teenage Bottlerocket but Smash didn't get a copy. I already hit my budget with those 5 so didn't grab anything else but I may go back in a week or so and see if they have any overstock left.
I got in line at 7 AM and my store opened at 9 AM but I was third in line since my store is so small. When the store finally opened there were 20 to 25 people in line. I managed to get Bowie's Welcome To The Blackout, Bowie Now, Let's Dance (Demo), The Arcade Fire EP and the Roxanne single.
It was my first record store day and I gotta day it was great! Shout out to Park Ave Cds in Orlando, FL 💙 I got- The Crow Soundtrack, Gorillaz, RSD mini player with a few blind discs, Robyn Bodytalk, Queen LP... it was a great record store day for me and many others!
Hey man, cool video! This is the first RSD I’ve participated in, so I got to my shop late (also because I was busy earlier in the day) but managed to pick up a beautiful copy of the first Stooges album. Didn’t know about that Balmorhea single, unfortunately. Cool you were able to snag one!
In the UK, and I picked up Run The Jewels. Mogwai. Dirty Three. Sufjan Stevens. The National. Mac Demarco + Shamir. Spiritualized. Very happy with my haul and I'm gonna spend all today (Sunday) listening as I was too tired after the early start yesterday.
Reminds me when I stood watch back in my army days.Any way glad you are having these experiences.Here in Cyprus we had coffee beers and pizza while waiting so.Well I go Fleetwodd mac,Dire Strairs,Scorpions live in Athens,1Greek please and I Robot.Cheers
Ended up with good luck this year. I bought the Star Wars picture disc, The frank wilson 7 inch reissued by third man records, and the limited edition Pink Floyd piper at the gates of dawn mono pressing. Not to mention two albums that was on my list including Jack White Boarding House Reach, and The Flaming Lips the soft bulletin. Although I didn’t get the prince 1999 exclusive pressing but ended up with a great record haul this year.
Tangerine Dream - LIVEMILES - Black Friday (record store day) release: November 23, 2018. Double translucent blue vinyl LP in gatefold sleeve with printed insert - limited to 2,000 copies.
With RSD, its “ya snooze, ya lose” and I got caught napping. I didn’t know it was RSD until I got a notification from Vinyl Eyes live streaming. I looked at the release list and got super excited for the B.Ö.C. Rarities and the Planet Terror soundtrack. Then I looked at my watch: *6:45** pm* and literally yelled “aaaaaahrg!” (The closest record shop closed at 6)
I’m green with envy over your Mac DeMarco, Arcade Fire, and Sufjan Stevens LP’s. I couldn’t make it to my record store today and each of those records are already going for $50+ on eBay/Discogs.
Picked up the following, Linkin Park Pink Floyd Zeppelin Alternate Tango Stone Sour Acoustic Dylan and The Dead The Doors Matrix Part 2 I hesitated on Complete Clapton which I could have gotten but ended up missing out. Was on the fence on Alternate Moondance and I'm kicking myself for not getting it considering it was a sub $20. Anyways, good video as always, keep up the good work!
I got Teenage Bottlerocket, Led Zeppelin 7inch, The Smithereens, Ella Fitzgerald, Taylor Swift debut album, 50th Anniv of Monterey Pop Festival, and Bleachers. Plus a bunch of extra goodies from Zia Records here in Las Vegas.
Def not into the same music as you, but I have to say your videos are so well done and mesmerizing. Always interesting and me and my boyfriend think you are really cute. Keep up the great work, Very fun RSD 2018 video.
I went to Turntablelab in NYC. Was pretty far in the line but I managed to grab everything that I wanted off the list. Mac demarcos old dog demos, Led Zeppelin, Sufjan, Nas. Mac and Shamir, RTJ, rage against the machine, johnny cash, czar face, daughter, Brian Eno and Kevin Shields, Pink Floyd, and the enter the dragon soundtrack
Geez people, you need to come to Paris (France, not Texas) ! No one cares about great music and records here but our record stores still get all the titles on the RSD list every time. I usually get up at 10am, take a shower, have a good breakfast, then head to the record store and get one (or two) copies of everything i want, and there's no queue or anything !
Awesome haul! Couldn’t wait in line but went around 2:30 and picked up The Cure’s-Mixed Up, Bowie-Let’s Dance 12” and Elton John vs Pnau-Good Morning to the Night.
my 1st official rsd. i was up at 6. i missed out on elvis king in the ring, johnny mathis, rob base dj ez rock it takes two and jimi hendrix. what i got wow was a massive haul. arcade fire, david bowie (lets dance demo and now), prince 1999, enter the dragon pic disc, sugar ray fly, led zeppelin. i just made a video. had to join the fun today. and cheech and chong up in smoke pot leave shape, both madonna pic disc and you can dance, gloria gaynor i will survive, van morrison alternate moondance, no bowie triple lp not intrested, other stuff flaming lips, the jerry cans, jethro tull, frank zappa lumpy gravy and the doors at the matrix 2.I think i got all of that. and a side by side 45.and dylan and the dead. mike
I got the Steven Wilson 12" of How Big The Space. Wouldn't mind getting the Soundgarden best of. Nearly picked up the Floyd album but got 2 copies already so didn't bother.
I got in line at 8:00 am 2 hours before my record store opens because my record store is very small. I got their only copy of the Linkin Park album which I’m in the minority when I say this but I enjoyed their latest album. The live album makes me feel like I was actually at the shows. I got Rage Against the Machine which I was kinda disappointed in. The last thing I got was the Bowie live 3 LP album that I haven’t got to spin yet. Love the videos and keep up the great quality content
Out here in Connecticut, at store #1, I picked up Diggin' For Gold vol. 6.... the Hendrix Mannish Boy single and The Smithereens Play Tommy. Store #2, picked up Frank Zappa- Lumpy Gravy Primordial and at store #3, their last copy of Vertigo/North By Northwest 7"-Bernard Herrmann.
I got Enter the Dragon soundtrack, Mac DeMarco Old Dog Demos and 7' split, Black Moth Super Rainbow 7', Lumpy Gravy by Zappa, Chicano Batman s/t. I really wanted the Pink Floyd and Car seat Headrest releases, but the store I went to didn't have either.
Couldn't go out for releases yesterday so I bought a couple things online. Got a great deal on the Gorillaz Humanz Deluxe art book, $14 from Amazon Canada! And lastly was able to snag an OOP white vinyl variant of Mega Ran's Final Fantasy 7 hip hop album Black Materia, which only had 175 copies available during RSD 2016. The Yetee.com had just a couple overstock copies they found in storage and I was up early enough to nab one!
I didn't know about it til recently but I agree, killer album! BTW, did you hear the breakout release from Odie? The albums called Analogue; nice slowburn R&B/hip-hop with some experimentation, even trippy in parts. He has a limited to 250 copies Clear record for sale and it's signed by him. ONE PRESS ONLY! www.odiexyz.com/merch Didn't know if you heard about it or not but I jumped all over it. Limited release and a great album to boot.
Fun day as always. I got: The Sundays-Reading, Writing, and Arithmetic David Bowie's 1st album The Doors-Live at The Matrix II Hawkwind-Dark Matter The Smithereens play Tommy Arthur Lee and Love Bobby Gentry Live at the BBC Florian Fricke Spielt Mozart Led Zeppelin 7" Fleet Foxes Crack Up Choral 7"
The only thing I wanted from RSD was the Taylor Swift 1989 re-release in colored vinyl. I would NEVER in a million years sleep on the line for that vinyl, thankfully I was able to pick it up on Discogs.
My LPs The Jimmy Castor Bunch - It's Just Begun ESG - Come Away With Marvin Gaye - Let's Get It On Grant Green - Slick! Live at Oil Can Harry's Enter The Dragon - OST 12 inch Lonnie Liston Smith - Expansions Double Exposure - Everyman 10 inch Snarky Puppy - Shark Tank 7 inch Trojan 50th Anniversary The Mohawks - The Champ Watts 103rd St Rhythm Band - Express Yourself Demon Fuzz - I Put a Spell On You Czarface - Meddle With Metal Thelonious Monk - Nutty
I didn't go damn it. Had to work. I live Indiana and was going to go to bathhouse records. Ever heard of it. Up in Warsaw. If your around the area you should go to it
My haul was in leftovers for now, but this is what I got. Led Zeppelin - Friends 7" Doris Norton - Personal Computer Doris Norton - Nortoncomputerforpeace Not much, but it is what it is. I do think I have a weird taste in music, but I think my new gf will love the first one as she likes Led Zeppelin.
I waited until my store was open for a couple of hours but still quite a line and the number of bins was shrinking fast. Still found plenty of the interesting and odd. Tangerine Dream, Quicksand, Sun Ra Standards, both Doctor Who, Doris Martin, and Ella Fitzgerald to name a few.
Tangerine Dream - LIVEMILES - Black Friday (record store day) release: November 23, 2018. Double translucent blue vinyl LP in gatefold sleeve with printed insert - limited to 2,000 copies.
I loved the video...that little kid blew me away with his knowledge...i am in Kansas City and I picked up: The Cure: Mixed Up The Cure: Torn Down Tom Waits: Bawlers Tom Waits: Brawlers Tom Waits: Bastards The Sundays: Reading, Writing, and Arithmetic The National: Live in Brussels David Bowie: Welcome to the Blackout Arcade Fire: EP Rage Against The Machine: Live at the Democratic National Convention 2000 Pink Floyd: Piper at the Gates of Dawn Rolling Stones: Their Satanic Majesties Request Chicano Batman: Chicano Batman Dwarves: Lucifer's Crank Ben Kweller: Sha Sha Pornosonic Sleep: The Sciences
From Newbury Comics in Natick, I got Eurythmics’s 1984 (for the love of big brother), which was random. My mission was not fulfilled there because I wanted to get The Piper at the Gates of Dawn but didn’t. And I arrived at a somewhat earlish time as well. However, I was much more successful at Listen Up!, also in Natick where I got the one copy of Piper they have. I felt a bit bad when the guy behind me also wanted it. But again, finders keepers. My real success occurred virtually and particularly amongst the vapour circle. Yesterday, I got Vaperror’s Mana Pool straight from PLUS100: blue splatter vinyl, 400 copies on an initial run. Today, I got the Blank Banshee vinyl bundle straight from Hologram Bay. Those records will arrive in a month or so.
I missed out on nas and czarface. But i got arcade fire, bruce springsteen, touche armore, soundgarden & the polish club. My record store didnt even get any of the rtj boxsets so disappointed
I went to Horizon Records in Greenville, SC and bought Mac Demarco's Old Dog demos as well, and also got Pornosonic featuring Ron Jeremy. Its 70s faux porno music with hilarious voice overs done by Ron but its basically just 70s funk and the music is stellar!! I also picked up Virtue x The Voidz, not a RSD release but I figured why not get it on RSD!!
I was able to get: Uriah Heep- Look at Yourself Led Zeppelin- Rock and Roll/Friends Lou Reed- Animal Serenade Steven Wilson- How Big the Space Dickey Betts- Live from the Lone Star Roadhosue Grindhouse: Planet Terror Soundtrack
Don't forget to post what YOU got for Record Store Day!
Too Many Records I got nothing because my parents are lazy and I’m broke
Too Many Records Piper Mono! I absolutely love the packaging. Also got the Mac demos
Didnt see the Ben K record I reserved for ya. Hope you didn't lose it
I got Mac's Old Dog Demos as well. Awesome collection of music, very chilled out sounds!
Mike!! I was so tired after the video that I forgot I had put in my buddy's bag and only realized it while I was editing. Trust me, it's a golden piece of my haul. Thank you again, and thanks for being in the vid :)
That kid has an amazing music taste.
Give that kid a show.
Lil' Records
I worked Friday night and got off at 6:30 AM. I went straight to Amoeba and got in line at 7:30 AM. I met you when you were checking out the line. I'm the dude that told you, "what are you doing here, you have too many records." Glad to see you got the Linkin Park. It was nice meeting you. That big ass dog was so cool.
Oh, I didn't even realize!! Ha! :)
Got to the queue at 4.25 and managed to get:
Piper at the gates
Zappa’s lumpy gravy
The groundhogs scratching the surface
L7
Rolling Stones
ABBA single
Bowie let’s dance
Bowie wttb
Air sexy boy
The open mind the open mind
The Vaseline’s dum dum
Goldie 25 years
Had to eBay for the deviants ptooff! And after watching this great video I’ve hunted down a copy of personal computer as I’d not heard of it before. It looks awesome!
Great video as always :-)
I needed the Arcade Fire Ep so badly I got to my record store at 1 am. Yet nobody showed up to line up until 5 am so I was just alone as people kept passing by at 3 in the morning giving me weird look. Glad to say I got the Arcade Fire ep, The Piper at the gates of dawn mono rerelease, Sha Sha, and Twin Fantasy (mirror to mirror).
Courtney Barnett - City Looks Pretty

Got to streetlight records in SJ at like 530, 15th person in line. Got everything I wanted and met the dude you interviewed in your Black Friday RSD video in Jersey. He was the dad from the dad and son pair at the front of the line. When I showed him the video, it was his first time seeing it
Oh! That kid is amazing! So much dedication at such an early age.. ca promet ! ;)
So my experience with RSD was for the most part very exciting and fast paced Got up at 3:00am so I could be first in line at my record store. When I got there only had one person ahead of me so I felt pretty confident that I'd get most of my list. Had a great conversation with this individual and he told me he actually has had conversation with you via email about him possibly doing some t-shirts for you and your channel. Very small world we live in. Anyway we had a plan, the both of us at the top of our list was the Johnny Cash box set. Plan was in place if he seen them he was to grab both and give me one. Only problem our store only had one copy. Sucks being second in line! Lol, however I did get everything else. SoundGarden Asides, Prince 1999, Linken Park Live, Rage Against The Machine, Elvis King of the Ring, Led Zeppelin 7 in., Sugar Ray 7 in, Cheech and Chong Up in Smoke picture disk, John Fogerty picture disk, Whitesnake picture disk, Living Colour Live, Adam Sandler They're All Going to Laugh at you, Disturbed The Lost Children. Stopped at Three record stores and made a day of it. Can't wait until the next one. Peace and keep up the great work. Keep on spinning
I wish I listened to Tangerine Dream and Popol Vuh when I was that young.
I only had about 60ish dollars so I bought Car Seat Headrest - Twin Fantasy (Mirror to Mirror) and Swans - Die Tur Ist Zu
Great seeing you! Thanks for including me in the RSD vid again.
Got Teenage Bottlerocket, Descendents and The Dwarves.
I'll guess I'll have to search for the Rage Against The Machine live record online! Glad to see you snagged a copy.
Of course! It's tradition at this point :)
*Here's my RDS story* you asked 😉
In the UK the mornings are cold and horrible, so the Que usually starts at about 4AM at my local record store in Sheffield *Record Collector* I got in the queue at about 5;40AM and was 22 in line at the doors. (doors open 8am) I got the first few on my list *Bass Communion (Steven Wilson) First LP, Seven Wilson - How big is the space 12" and Wu-tang Clan - Enter the Wu-Tang on cassette* They didn't have the GoGo Penguin album that I wanted, so I ventured off to the other indie stores in my city to find it. I go to *Music Junkie* where instead of organising the records they just dump everything in these lone crates, no order what so ever so going through them is painful. But I grabbed the compilation *Motown Funk Volume 2 (a Motor city production)* I ALWAYS buy a compilation on RSD especially if it's of musicians I am not aware of. Plus I bought the first volume last year (so I had to get this). Then lastly I go to *Bear Tree Records* (probably the best RS in Sheffield) and they were the only store to have *GoGo Penguin V2.0: Special Edition* in stock so I got everything on my list. I still haven't had a chance to listen to my records because I had work a few hours later and I have been sleeping to recover since.
Oh and I almost forgot Waner were giving the first people in line a *"Mystery Vinyl"* it's in a white sleeve with white labels on the record and no information with what's on it. I wasn't first in line but *Record Collector* had a stack of 30 of these 12" disks and were giving them to anyone who asked. I have no idea who is on it, but I was told it's new musicians to the Waner label.
I've only just woken from my coma and I think I'll finally spin some of my new records today.
All in all, *RSD2018* was pretty, pretty, good. 💿
Love it.
Thank you for putting me on the video matt! Your the best!
:)
Dude, your taste in music is amazing and right up my alley! Popol Vuh and Tangerine Dream are two of my favourite bands. What are some other bands that you're really into? Would love to see you upload vinyl related videos.
Also, for my girlfriend and I's anniversary today, she got me the MST3K Season 11 soundtrack on Glow in the dark vinyl! Limited to 500 copies and comes with a sweet MST3K Moon slipmat. I know that Glow in the dark records are sonically bad but if anything, it's a great gift and great novelty piece :)
Picked up the National, arcade fire, Led Zeppelin, fleet foxes, vitamin string quartet and trampled by turtles! Is was a great rsd this year! Already excited for Black Friday rsd
My small list:
The National - Boxer Live At Brussels
Tom Waits - Brawlers (i've got blue vinyl, when it's supposed to be red so that's nice)
Balmorhea 7" (i love Shone...my favorite song from the Clear Language sessions)
Courtney Barnett - City Looks Pretty (12" single)
Steven Wilson 12"
Nice haul. For me: Arcade Fire, Dylan/Dead, Neil Young, National, Fleetwood Mac, Rage, Star Wars die cut, U2, Sufjan, Voidz, Albert Hammond Jr, Parquet Courts, Fleet Foxes, Led Zeppelin and The Shins.
It was a great day. Bought tons of stuff and met some great people at Scotties Record Shop in Summit, NJ. My favorite grab was the daughter soundtrack. Spectacular packaging and beautiful music.
Mine was pretty generic but I got most of what I wanted: The PRINCE "1999" single LP UK edition, Madonna first album Japanese import picture disc, John Fogarty "Centerfield" picture disc and Planet Terror OST on white vinyl. I had the Star Wars Porg picture disc but couldn't bring myself to spend $30 on that, so I passed when I could buy the full OST double LP for $25. What I missed was the Cheech & Chomg "Up In Smoke" picture disc, Spongebob Picture disc, the Pornosonic "70s Porno Music feat Ron Jeremy", David Bowie "Let's Dance" 12" promo and The Vapors "Turning Japanese" 7". Passed on the Duran Duran LPs, Cure LPs, Wolfman Jack LP, B-52s, and a few others I can't remember.
As always I had to make some choices reducing at minimum my list. As I live in Italy here record store day is not popular at all, and since I don't listen Italian music that much I have to buy everything online. With huge shipping prices. This year I bought the Led Zeppelin single and the Blue Planet II Soundtrack which I fell in love with. Also got Niall Horan's EP for my girlfriend and I got if from Spain so I could save lots of money for the shipping.
Urg! I stood in line for 2 hours and 15 min for that Linkin Park album. Sounds like you got there way after opening time and you still managed to get it. I got one coming from Ebay but I paid double for it.
Whaa? Did you watch the video homie? I spent like 10 hours in line LOL
Nevermind....I saw that it was daylight when you were headed there but I guess I got confused. Yea I'm not built for RSD if it requires 10 hours of waiting.
soooo incredibly jealous that you picked up the Arcade Fire EP. I wasn't able to go to my local record store unfortunately and now I'm looking for it online and debating whether or not I wanna drop the cash to pick it up. Been a huge fan of Arcade Fire for a long, long time
Congrats on getting all the stuff you wanted. I missed a few of those titles at my store. My only big break was I got the Jeff Buckley box set and when I turned it over to read the back i noticed it was #0002. I went thru the other copies there hoping for number 1. The others were really nigh numbered.
I posted a photo of it on my Instagram at kritch8000 congrats again on all Your finds
Johnny Cash Live at Folsom 50th Anniversary Box Set, Marvin Gaye Sexual Healing Remixes, Miles Davis Rubberband EP, Ella Fitzgeral Ella at Zardi's, and Zeppelin 7". Good haul!
Great pickups! I got to my local shop around midnight & that got me 1st in line. 3pm is insane. Great to see Doris Norton get a shout. Personal Computer wasn't a RSD release here in the UK but has been reissued this month & mine just arrived today. If you enjoy that one, check out her "Parapsycho" LP, very cool stuff. I'm excited to be visiting LA in July...I'll be assigning a full day to Amoeba :-). My RSD pickups this year - Ben Kweller, The Heads, Fickle Pickle, Tangerine Dream 12", Jobriath. Cheers. Mark.
This year was my first RSD. I wasn't able to get everything I wanted exclusive wise but I did pick up a couple nice records and a movie.
1. High Fidelity on DVD
2. George Thorogood and the Destroyers Bad to the Bone
3. Def Leppard ' s Pyromania
4. Alice Cooper's the Alice Cooper Show
The Scorpions Blackout
5. RSD Exclusive 7" of Dismantle Me by the Distillers with a cover done by three Regrettes on the B-side.
The national lp you got there was in such bulk at my store in manchester CT. Like no one picked it up. They had like 10 copies atleast and its a small store. Very odd since they have quite the following. I was looking for the ella fitzgerald but missed out which is ok. But I did pick up the chuck berry hits re issue on orange vinyl. And the real reason i wanted it, it was pressed at RTI. An excellent pressing plant. That and the coup de grace for me was the rough guide to ragtime blues compilation lp. Not everybody's thing but showcases the history of blues and rare to see on lp format vs cd or digital files. You got alot, glad to see you got everytying you wanted. That line at amoeba is crazy! it seems bigger every year I watch your RSD videos.
My stores didn't get the Ella for some reason. Yeah, nobody wanted the National album here, either.
I was listening to my copy of Arcade Fire EP while watching this video. Also picked up The National and Car Seat Headrest. My very first RSD was pretty successful! I didn't really know what to expect and was expecting just to be in it for the experience but I'm really happy with the outcome.
I got lucky and found a Soundgarden record on the way out of the store.
I was on a budget but I picked up some of the ones that I wanted the most:
Car Seat Headrest's Twin Fantasy
Biggie's Juicy 12"
Aaliyah's Back and Forth 12"
I'm in dc and thankfully my record store wasn't as crowded as Amoeba. I got there an hour and a half early and I was seventeenth. But one day I have to try the camp out experience lol.
My picks:
Car Seat Headrest - Twin Fantasy (Mirror To Mirror)
The Doors - Live At The Matrix (Part 2)
Soundgarden - A-sides
The National - Boxer (Live In Brussels)
I know there's some heavy collectibility with some of these, but I'd still rather have older records. That said, I scooped up Melvin Sparks "Texas Twister" today among the RSD left-overs.
I happen to love the atmosphere of Record Store Day. Love picking up physical copies of my favorite albums. I did not pick up anything on RSD, but hopefully I will go tomorrow to a one of my local stores here in L.A., after I see Super Troopers 2 of course. Just didn't see anything I wanted to make the trek for the day.
Got the Rage album, and only because I got hooked-up. Early bird catches the worm!
Thanks for this! I was outta commission for a while, and now you have me hunting for Soundgarden 2lp, and Sugar Ray/Zeppelin 7" Gonna watch your 2019 now!
Nice haul Matt! Ben Kweller's "Sha Sha" was the only RSD release for me. Was too hyped over all the jazz and indie classics I was comin' across. Mazzy Star, John Fahey, Yusuf Lateef, Freddie Hubbard, Chet Baker, The Pendletons, and a Peter Green-era Fleetwood Mac did it for me.
How does Amoeba work the distribution? If they have everything on your list do you get it? Do they limit how many you can get? I went to a Rasputin's and they limited us to one selection the first time through. After that it was open to what ever you wanted after getting back in line. Do you know if the bigger stores get better selections?
My haul: L7 Comics, Courtney Barnett - The Double EP: A Sea of Split Peas, Catherine Wheel - Happy Days, Derek Smalls - It Don't Get Old (7" sleeve only, record - free), Chuck Berry - Greatest Hits, Rob Base & DJ E-Z Rock - It Takes Two, Jesus Jones - Zeroes + Ones, Sublime - 89 Vision, Record Store Day compilation CD (free), The New Whole Burbank Catalog CD (free), Buffalo Tom 7", Elvis Costello - Someone Else's Heart, Sponge Bob Square Pants 7", Black Moth Super Rainbow / Mike Watts 7", Bo Diddley - 16 all-time greatest hits, Madonna - You Can Dance, Girls In The Garage compilation, Sleigh Bells - Kid Kruschev, The Stooges - The Detroit Edition, Marvin Gaye - Let's Get It On, Two Record Store Day canvas bags (free), Dogfish Head poster (free)
Sorry for the belated update, here’s my haul:
1. The Sundays;
2. The National live at the BBC;
3. Fickle Pickle;
4. Dwarves/ Lucifer’s prank
5. Jobriath...I dunno if this is an rsd exclusive release or not tho!
I got the last copy of Juicy. Rage, Zeppelin, Mastodon, Soundgarden, and Bruce Springsteen from Music Millennium in Portland
I got The National Boxer Live in Brussels too. I am even more excited as I have the past to records but never listened to Boxer nor Alligator. Shocking I know. Excited to hear Boxer live first time out.
Best RSD 2018 find was the very limited Ennio Morricone soundtrack for "Autopsy". Really glad to pick that up. Arrived at 2:15.
Loved the video man, got the Mac Demarco demos and the 45, Linkin Park live, Sufjan Stevens, and Run the Jewels Box set
I got Rage Against the Machine, Run The Jewels, Nas, Ben Kweller, Sujfan, Tim Armstrong, The National, Dr Dre, Cheech and Chong, and The Sponge Bob release for my daughter. I’m surprised you didn’t grab the Ben Kweller?
Got in line at Smash! in DC at 8 am for a 10 am opening and was second in line. At around 9 the owner came around and asked everyone in line the top 5 things they wanted so they'd be ready for you when you walked in. Got the Pink Floyd, George Martin, FIDLAR LPs and the Vapors and Zep 7"s. I REALLY wanted the Teenage Bottlerocket but Smash didn't get a copy. I already hit my budget with those 5 so didn't grab anything else but I may go back in a week or so and see if they have any overstock left.
I got in line at 7 AM and my store opened at 9 AM but I was third in line since my store is so small. When the store finally opened there were 20 to 25 people in line. I managed to get Bowie's Welcome To The Blackout, Bowie Now, Let's Dance (Demo), The Arcade Fire EP and the Roxanne single.
It was my first record store day and I gotta day it was great! Shout out to Park Ave Cds in Orlando, FL 💙 I got- The Crow Soundtrack, Gorillaz, RSD mini player with a few blind discs, Robyn Bodytalk, Queen LP... it was a great record store day for me and many others!
Hey man, cool video! This is the first RSD I’ve participated in, so I got to my shop late (also because I was busy earlier in the day) but managed to pick up a beautiful copy of the first Stooges album. Didn’t know about that Balmorhea single, unfortunately. Cool you were able to snag one!
In the UK, and I picked up Run The Jewels. Mogwai. Dirty Three. Sufjan Stevens. The National. Mac Demarco + Shamir. Spiritualized. Very happy with my haul and I'm gonna spend all today (Sunday) listening as I was too tired after the early start yesterday.
Nice. Spiritualized was one of the first items to sell out at Amoeba.
Reminds me when I stood watch back in my army days.Any way glad you are having these experiences.Here in Cyprus we had coffee beers and pizza while waiting so.Well I go Fleetwodd mac,Dire Strairs,Scorpions live in Athens,1Greek please and I Robot.Cheers
Ended up with good luck this year. I bought the Star Wars picture disc, The frank wilson 7 inch reissued by third man records, and the limited edition Pink Floyd piper at the gates of dawn mono pressing. Not to mention two albums that was on my list including Jack White Boarding House Reach, and The Flaming Lips the soft bulletin. Although I didn’t get the prince 1999 exclusive pressing but ended up with a great record haul this year.
Tangerine Dream - LIVEMILES - Black Friday (record store day) release: November 23, 2018. Double translucent blue vinyl LP in gatefold sleeve with printed insert - limited to 2,000 copies.
With RSD, its “ya snooze, ya lose” and I got caught napping. I didn’t know it was RSD until I got a notification from Vinyl Eyes live streaming.
I looked at the release list and got super excited for the B.Ö.C. Rarities and the Planet Terror soundtrack. Then I looked at my watch: *6:45** pm* and literally yelled “aaaaaahrg!” (The closest record shop closed at 6)
I’m green with envy over your Mac DeMarco, Arcade Fire, and Sufjan Stevens LP’s. I couldn’t make it to my record store today and each of those records are already going for $50+ on eBay/Discogs.
Picked up Ella Fitzgerald & Soundgarden. Super stoked on both;they are beautiful!
Picked up the following,
Linkin Park
Pink Floyd
Zeppelin
Alternate Tango
Stone Sour Acoustic
Dylan and The Dead
The Doors Matrix Part 2
I hesitated on Complete Clapton which I could have gotten but ended up missing out. Was on the fence on Alternate Moondance and I'm kicking myself for not getting it considering it was a sub $20. Anyways, good video as always, keep up the good work!
I got Teenage Bottlerocket, Led Zeppelin 7inch, The Smithereens, Ella Fitzgerald, Taylor Swift debut album, 50th Anniv of Monterey Pop Festival, and Bleachers. Plus a bunch of extra goodies from Zia Records here in Las Vegas.
Def not into the same music as you, but I have to say your videos are so well done and mesmerizing. Always interesting and me and my boyfriend think you are really cute. Keep up the great work, Very fun RSD 2018 video.
I went to Turntablelab in NYC. Was pretty far in the line but I managed to grab everything that I wanted off the list. Mac demarcos old dog demos, Led Zeppelin, Sufjan, Nas. Mac and Shamir, RTJ, rage against the machine, johnny cash, czar face, daughter, Brian Eno and Kevin Shields, Pink Floyd, and the enter the dragon soundtrack
Front to back...Adam Sandler, Dwarves, Eurythmics, Hellbound Glory, Planet Terror, Pink Floyd, Rush soundtrack, Spongbob Squarepants and The Vapors 7 inch. #ramenforaweek
Geez people, you need to come to Paris (France, not Texas) ! No one cares about great music and records here but our record stores still get all the titles on the RSD list every time. I usually get up at 10am, take a shower, have a good breakfast, then head to the record store and get one (or two) copies of everything i want, and there's no queue or anything !
Nice sweatshirt Alan!
-GO Bucky!!!
Awesome haul! Couldn’t wait in line but went around 2:30 and picked up The Cure’s-Mixed Up, Bowie-Let’s Dance 12” and Elton John vs Pnau-Good Morning to the Night.

mike
I heard the sound on the Elvis In The Ring is not very good.
I got the Steven Wilson 12" of How Big The Space. Wouldn't mind getting the Soundgarden best of. Nearly picked up the Floyd album but got 2 copies already so didn't bother.
I got in line at 8:00 am 2 hours before my record store opens because my record store is very small. I got their only copy of the Linkin Park album which I’m in the minority when I say this but I enjoyed their latest album. The live album makes me feel like I was actually at the shows. I got Rage Against the Machine which I was kinda disappointed in. The last thing I got was the Bowie live 3 LP album that I haven’t got to spin yet. Love the videos and keep up the great quality content
You’re not alone, absolutely loved One More Light. Was lucky enough to get a copy of the live album today also.
Out here in Connecticut, at store #1, I picked up Diggin' For Gold vol. 6.... the Hendrix Mannish Boy single and The Smithereens Play Tommy. Store #2, picked up Frank Zappa- Lumpy Gravy Primordial and at store #3, their last copy of Vertigo/North By Northwest 7"-Bernard Herrmann.
I got Enter the Dragon soundtrack, Mac DeMarco Old Dog Demos and 7' split, Black Moth Super Rainbow 7', Lumpy Gravy by Zappa, Chicano Batman s/t. I really wanted the Pink Floyd and Car seat Headrest releases, but the store I went to didn't have either.
Couldn't go out for releases yesterday so I bought a couple things online. Got a great deal on the Gorillaz Humanz Deluxe art book, $14 from Amazon Canada! And lastly was able to snag an OOP white vinyl variant of Mega Ran's Final Fantasy 7 hip hop album Black Materia, which only had 175 copies available during RSD 2016. The Yetee.com had just a couple overstock copies they found in storage and I was up early enough to nab one!
I love that album. I got it in the original run. FF7 is life.
I didn't know about it til recently but I agree, killer album! BTW, did you hear the breakout release from Odie? The albums called Analogue; nice slowburn R&B/hip-hop with some experimentation, even trippy in parts. He has a limited to 250 copies Clear record for sale and it's signed by him. ONE PRESS ONLY! www.odiexyz.com/merch
Didn't know if you heard about it or not but I jumped all over it. Limited release and a great album to boot.
I want to hang out with Dylan!
Fun day as always.
I got:

David Bowie's 1st album
The Doors-Live at The Matrix II
Hawkwind-Dark Matter
The Smithereens play Tommy
Arthur Lee and Love
Bobby Gentry Live at the BBC

Led Zeppelin 7"
Fleet Foxes Crack Up Choral 7"
The only thing I wanted from RSD was the Taylor Swift 1989 re-release in colored vinyl. I would NEVER in a million years sleep on the line for that vinyl, thankfully I was able to pick it up on Discogs.
You have to go back to reviewing music on your channel. That's why I subbed to begin with. I bought the New Buckley on vinyl by the way.
Crazy question. The limited releases, are they individually numbered?
Did you not get Ben Kweller?? It was only big-ticket items I could not find.
God damn! You got the arcade fire album!!!!
I picked up the sufjan too! I couldn’t find the limited daughter before the storm vinyl anywhere :(
Daughter, Noah Gundersen, Caitlyn Smith, Soundgarden, The National, Thelonious Monk, Fleet Foxes, Lord Huron, LED Zeppelin, & Johnny Cash
Travis I’m not going to lie I’m a little jealous about the Daughter album

Vinyl is Alive and well!!!!!!!!!!! GO WISCONSIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My haul was in leftovers for now, but this is what I got.
Led Zeppelin - Friends 7"
Doris Norton - Personal Computer
Doris Norton - Nortoncomputerforpeace
Not much, but it is what it is. I do think I have a weird taste in music, but I think my new gf will love the first one as she likes Led Zeppelin.
I waited until my store was open for a couple of hours but still quite a line and the number of bins was shrinking fast. Still found plenty of the interesting and odd. Tangerine Dream, Quicksand, Sun Ra Standards, both Doctor Who, Doris Martin, and Ella Fitzgerald to name a few.
Tangerine Dream - LIVEMILES - Black Friday (record store day) release: November 23, 2018. Double translucent blue vinyl LP in gatefold sleeve with printed insert - limited to 2,000 copies.
Got the zeppelin 45 and the sick RTJ box set also picked up the biggie juicy single
RIP Harris Wittels

The Cure: Mixed Up
The Cure: Torn Down
Tom Waits: Bawlers
Tom Waits: Brawlers
Tom Waits: Bastards
The Sundays: Reading, Writing, and Arithmetic
The National: Live in Brussels

Chicano Batman: Chicano Batman
Dwarves: Lucifer's Crank
Ben Kweller: Sha Sha
Pornosonic
Sleep: The Sciences
From Newbury Comics in Natick, I got Eurythmics’s 1984 (for the love of big brother), which was random. My mission was not fulfilled there because I wanted to get The Piper at the Gates of Dawn but didn’t. And I arrived at a somewhat earlish time as well.
However, I was much more successful at Listen Up!, also in Natick where I got the one copy of Piper they have. I felt a bit bad when the guy behind me also wanted it. But again, finders keepers.
My real success occurred virtually and particularly amongst the vapour circle. Yesterday, I got Vaperror’s Mana Pool straight from PLUS100: blue splatter vinyl, 400 copies on an initial run. Today, I got the Blank Banshee vinyl bundle straight from Hologram Bay. Those records will arrive in a month or so.
I also snagged the Vaperror and BB records!
Sweet. Consider that the online equivalent of us waiting in line for the store to open ;) =D
General question: whats the significance, if any, of getting a low number on a limited release vinyl?
Wait, Amoeba didn't close? Congrats to them.
I missed out on nas and czarface. But i got arcade fire, bruce springsteen, touche armore, soundgarden & the polish club. My record store didnt even get any of the rtj boxsets so disappointed
Hi, great picks! I got the Prince 1999 RSD release, Rapsody's The Idea Of Beautiful 1st time on vinyl and Marvin Gaye's Let's get it on :-)
I got the two Madonna records I wanted!! 😎🎊🎉😁
I went to Horizon Records in Greenville, SC and bought Mac Demarco's Old Dog demos as well, and also got Pornosonic featuring Ron Jeremy. Its 70s faux porno music with hilarious voice overs done by Ron but its basically just 70s funk and the music is stellar!! I also picked up Virtue x The Voidz, not a RSD release but I figured why not get it on RSD!!
I was able to get:
Uriah Heep- Look at Yourself
Led Zeppelin- Rock and Roll/Friends
Lou Reed- Animal Serenade
Steven Wilson- How Big the Space
Dickey Betts- Live from the Lone Star Roadhosue
Grindhouse: Planet Terror Soundtrack
I was super lucky and I was 15th in line and got everything on my list
I got the Mogwai, the Arcade Fire, the National, The Cure and Kevin Shields & Brian Eno
My 1st RSD
Soundgarden
Bowie Live
Johnny Cash Folsom Prison
Frankie Goes To Hollywood
Complete Clapton
The National
The Boss
Picked up Chris Robinson Brotherhood, Jerry Garcia and Grateful Dead
