Record Store Day - 21 April 2012
 

UK RSD releases - nothing much to get excited about this year.

Interested to hear the Ty Segall/White Fence single, I really rate both.
I might get Zomby's Where were you in 92. It's one of the best dance releases of the last few years.

Live At the Apollo

Note: Previously unreleased recordings - original single mixes never before on vinyl, individually numbered.
Limited to 3000
$8.99

Circle
Manner

Note: Manner, Circle's 20th full-length of proper studio material, is a pivotal work in the ensemble's extensive canon. Following countless self-released imports and sporadic discs for relatively obscure U.S. labels, bassist/founder Jussi Lehtisalo and his partners in confusion have shacked up with the good folks at Hydra Head. But their latest e ffort isn't only a potential international breakthrough, it's also a daring step forward. The album is housed in a classic full color die-cut DJ sleeve. The cover image of the eye is not fully realized until the record is inserted into the jacket with the LP label completing the iris. The vinyl colors equally match the aesthetic; we would tell you what they are, but we don't want to ruin the surprise.
Limited to 500

there's quite a few releases that I wouldn't mind having...

what I hate about RSD is the people who buy them just to sell on ebay for extortionate prices the next day.

I'm excited about the "Eight Trails, One Path" LP due to be released on Three Lobed Recordings as a Record Store Day exclusive item for North America. Hope to catch one.

Cherry Red is very excited to be issuing four exclusive limited edition vinyl releases for this year's Record Store Day which takes place on Saturday 21st April. With titles from The Fall, Go-Kart Mozart, Squackett & Tangerine Dream.

i am interested in this too, i saw it on the site of a store in another city and wouldn't mind snatching one locally if possible. the samples didn't sound all that great but i have hope for the full length versions to rule

i never go to record store day anyways. too many aggro grip 'n flip dudes and too many people who have never bought a record before who will stop to examine every single one(meanwhile aggro ebaying dude is freaking out behind them haha)

Got 8 Trails 1 Path and Circle LP today, all I was looking for

I stayed away. Can't stand crowded stores and frenzied buyers. Besides, there wasn't anything I could get excited about this year. Meh.

This idiot was #1 in line at RSD in Iowa City:



Doncha wanna be just like him?!

there wasn't anything i was really rushing to be in line for this year (ditto with last year too.) i'll probably pick up the st. vincent single if it's still available later and maybe the lee perry 3x10" release if the price is right.

I picked the Flaming Lips Heady Fwends and MC5/Bambaata track

Those would be all right. What I've done the past couple of years is just go to the store the week after. There's been plenty of leftovers of the kind of thing I like.

And I've found that later in the year sometimes the RSD "specials" turn up in the used bins!

Yeah but some are gone seconds after the door opens. the store I was at today was a madhouse (which usually doesn't happen in these parts) and some good stuff was gone instantly.

The Flaming Lips 2x12's looks interesting. Biz Markie and Kesha? and the Lips? like huh? Either horrible or out of this world good, like to hear it.

That's part of what I hate about it.

I find it a great thing to see the local record store I like crowded, keeps them in biz

Yes, that's the part I like, in theory. But I don't want to be there myself. I figure RSD draws a different crowd from us regulars. RSD shoppers might be more likely to hit the store only a couple of times a year, unlike regulars like me who hit it a few times a month.

the only decent thing i saw at the store was a peter tosh 10" and it was 28 bucks, so i'm going to say record store day sucked ass, although i only had time to go to one store

To me it's a lot of hype over not much at all.
