Happy Record Store Day!

[cas-vik]

Anyone get the Ty Segall Ty Rex or New Pornographers 7". My stores had neither. They said Record Store Day is unfair and wildly unreliable and never to get your hopes up for anything.

Paul, I got the New Pornographers and the Ty Segall.  I was at AKA.  Where'd you find the Big Star Third?  That was at the top of my list but AKA didn't have them.  This whole dumb holiday is a real scam and I just can't stop participating in it.  But I think this is the last year for me.  Besides, I'm in some record store somewhere at least once a week so they're getting my support through out the year.

i bought a copy of Ty Rex this morning on the Goner site...still kicking around as of Tuesday.

Nick from Long in the Tooth had a few copies. All I went to was Long in the Tooth. Then I stopped by Repo yesterday and the still had a few things, nothing I wanted though.

Ordered my Ty Segall today, super excited!

[YearRoundSteve]

snagged a very hearty yield indeed!

13th Floor Elevators - Wait for my love 7" (it took me going to 4 stores around Sacramento to find this one, but i wasn't giving up!)
The Black Angels - Phosgene Nightmare 10"
The Black Angels - Another Nice Pair LP
Fucked Up - David's Town LP
New Pornographers - Moves 7" (so awesome they included a download of the video!)
Off! - live at generation records 7"
Rolling Stones - Brown Sugar 7"
Superchunk / Coliseum - split 7" (clear purple vinyl)
Vivian Girls - I Heard You Say 7"
Wild Flag - Future Crimes 7"

these last two years have been great Record Store Days. I already can't wait for next year!

That's awesome.  At my record store, they only allowed you to buy 3 items from the RSD Exclusives bin.  Even then, it was really picked over by the time I got up and I was only the 24th person in.

man, that stinks. i get why they'd do it but i'd have a hard time limiting my choices to just three items!

[Steeley Chris]

I didn't get any exclusives. The Kate Bush Hounds of Love 10" (probably the only one in RI) had been sold by the time time I started my quest. I'm still sick about it.
What I did get:

The Rolling Stones Their Satanic Majesties Request/i] with the 3D cover. Some dummy tried to do the maze on the inside with a pen.
Mick Ronson Slaughter on 10th Avenue
UB40 Signing Off printed in West Germany
Kate Bush The Dreaming
'til tuesday Voices Carry '80s Rick would be proud

Late to the party but wanted to say that apparently Maine is the place to be for RSD as one of the founders of Record Store day is the owner of Maine's largest chain of music stores in the State. I was able to find everything I wanted.

Big Star - Third Test Pressing
Arthur Russell - World of Echoes (only 300 pressed and somehow maine got 9 that I could find)
Television - Live
Franz Ferdinand Covers EP
Daft Punk 10"
Husker Du/Green Day 7"
Built To Spill Ripple Single
Fleetwood Mac - Rumours (was looking for the 45 RPM 2xLP version but accidentally got the regular version. Didn't know there were two versions released)
Gorillaz - The Fall
Fela Kuti 7"

Larger than expected haul. But I was happy and surprised to find so much of what I wanted. Definitely glad I didn't drive down to Boston like I was thinking as everybody else I know had a lot of trouble finding even half of what I listed.

Tomorrow is record store day! Here is a list of the special releases:

I told my record store guy to order me up the Unrest Perfect Teeth set and the St. Vincent 7". He better get them. God knows I don't feel like driving all the way to Atlanta for a decent record store.

[BadGuyZero]

My haul:



Circle - Manner LP
Mariachi El Bronx / Bronx - Live split EP
White Hills - White Hills LP [I don't think this is an official RSD release, but the store had it in the area with the RSD releases so I nabbed it]
Feist / Mastodon - Feistodon split 7"
Flaming Lips / Mastodon - A Spoonful Weighs A Ton split 7" (Side By Side series) [Mastodon did a meet & greet at the store on Thursday. The store had them sign the vinyl sleeve the single came in]
MC5 / Afrika Bambaataa - Kick Out The Jams split 7" (Side By Side series)
The Mynabirds - Generals 7"
Nobunny - Maximumrockandroll 7"
Otis Redding / Aretha Franklin - Respect split 7" (Side By Side series)
Mikal Cronin / Apache Dropout / The Paperhead / The Liminanas - 4-Way Covers split 7"

EDIT: I checked on the White Hills LP. Not a RSD release.

[Mike Desert]

There's nothing I ever care too much about owning, so I stayed home.  I'll drop some money at Amoeba and Recycled tomorrow when the mayhem is over.

I've moved all my records 4 times now which has SUCKED, and my cats like to scratch the spines and paw at my turntable when I play them.  Collector nerd years = OVER!

[Alex P.]

I will be going to the Tom-approved Gravity Records here in Wilmington, NC to get the Bonnie 'Prince' Billy record.

[danner]

Well that sucked. My guy barely had any RSD releases, let alone either of the two records I was wanting. The jerk. I did just order the Unrest box set off Teen Beat's web site, so hopefully I'm covered on that one.

[Paul DeLouisiana]

I was unable to make it to my store today. Thankfully I shop there enough that they are holding the Gene Clarks, BPB covering Leon, Uncle Tupelo box and I think they might have been a Byrds 7". I'll get them Monday.
