runninshine Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 I am just going to say it RDS has become a cash grab. Long lines at the local with lame hipster youths paying way too much for a RSD 10" release is ridiculous. Everytime I go to the record store is record store day.

I wouldn't argue with that, but I don't get out much so if I have to make a day of it. Plus there is only about 2 records I am really after.

runninshine Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 The list of good stuff is really long this year. There is a lot I am interested in, I'm just not going out to fight the crowds here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artarama Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 The list of good stuff is really long this year. There is a lot I am interested in, I'm just not going out to fight the crowds here. I wish I had crowds to fight (not really, I know what you are saying) I would have to drive 50 miles to go to a record store. Used to have a few to enjoy. Support your local record store (more than one day a year.) I read that vinyl sales were up 20 percent last year as opposed to all music sales being up only 1 percent. That's awesome! We may see some more releases on vinyl if this keeps up. Let's hope the record cutters keep the quality high and don't treat the medium as novelty. Today 4-21 is the official day. One day after 4-20. What a coincedence? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonelobo Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Ok. This was my first Record Store Day and I, for one had an absolute blast. This was at Good Records in Dallas. I called last night to find out when people started showing up and was told 4am. I got up at 3:30am and drove to Dallas to arrive at 5am. I was 4th in line. 1st guy and his girlfriend had been there since 1:30am. Had an absolutely great time with the front of the line guys--basically we talked for almost 3 hours as the line formed....BEHIND us. All of these guys were just fans. No flippers among the first 20 or so in line as far as I could see. Guys in the store were working frantically getting all RDS merchandise out AND merchandise for all the local bands that were playing today--are still playing as I type this. The store was supposed to open at 8am but the manager came out and said they were ready and the first 15 of us went in at 7:30am. All the store employees and volunteers were great. Can't recommend Good Records enough as they had most, but not all, of the RSD list. Only 1 Wilco (limited to 250 nationwide). Only 3 Ralph Stanley. And of course they only had a few of some of the smaller limited runs and yes, I did miss out on some that I wanted. But then, someone else missed out because of what I got. I have to say that I found that there were a lot of young "fans" there who stood in line for hours for 1 or 2 7" or 10" records and who left absolutely excited about getting home to listen to their treasure. I'm just glad to see young people excited about vinyl and independent artists. It actually restored my faith in the latest crop of pierced pirates. And there was a good mix of ages while I was there. Old farts and young squats...we all like vinyl. So I guess it's time to see what followed me home... Oh, by the way, all the Record Store Day Bags had a gift vinyl and sampler CD's from a lot of small record companys. Even a book of matches. Here's a list of the free stuff: New West Records "On Air at World Cafe", compilation of their artists. Death Row Records , Compilation CD Anti Fall Sampler CD Decca Records compilation for Record Store Day CD Southern Ground Artists Volume 2 Compilation CD Selecto-O-Hits Limited Edition Sampler CD LOW CD New West Records All-Stars and Rookies 2011 CD 7" Vinyl KNaan, Dylan Cover "With God on Our Side" and "Waiting is a Drug" on B side\ Here's what I had to pay for.

LOU REED, "Transformer" RCA ALAN TOUSSAINT, LP, "Life, Love and Faith", Four Men with Beards Records TOWNES VAN ZANDT, LP, "At My Window", 1000 pressed, Sugar Hill Records I missed a lot of things in the fray but everyone was very helpful, even the other shoppers. Everyone was trying to find titles for people when they couldn't find them and lots of polite grabbing and jostling. I have no idea if it degraded into a riot after I left, but I had a good time and was driving home by 8am. I missed out on some of the important blues on my list but got most of the jazz list checked off. Not all, but most. Now for a thrift store shopper, the prices were NOT discounted in any way. You DO pay a premium for RSD releases. But, hey, it's once a year. AND it's a great way to support your local record store...and believe me, THEY NEED YOUR SUPPORT or they will disappear. Looking back on it, my first Record Store Day was about as much fun as you can have with your pants on. I'm sure it's very "store" dependent but in Dallas RSD was mellow. I never did make it over to Bills Records as I had work to do later. Though I did go to Denton and get a couple of vinyls of local Denton artists for a 15% discount. Can't wait till next year!

The Dude Posted April 22, 2012 Author Share Posted April 22, 2012 This was my first record store day as well, we were suppose to have 4 record stores participate I think 3 of them just said they were for free publicity. As for the one I went to and purchased records I was looking for, it was pack and you can tell who was there just to get them to flip which I will know today since there is a record show later on today I will see the flippers there. I picked up 2 that I went for. I know there will be some left over in about 6 months later. One of the ones I wanted was Ozzy's poke adot 7" believer, there was supposed to be about 4400 I guess this record store only got 1, if anyone comes across this let me know. I do try to get out every once in while and purchase either records or Cd's, As I am not big on buying or stealing music on line its just not the same.

MechMan Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Wanted the Pearl Sessions but none of them seemed to make it up here. So instead I just splurged on some heavy hitters that I have been wanting for a while. All UK pressed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runninshine Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Sounds like some of you cleaned up yesterday. I am fortunate enough to have a friend who works at a local shop and got me the free bag of swag along with the New Multitudes 10" and Dave Brubeck 10". Not bad.

artarama Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Here is a link to some photos from Slate magazine of shopping at record stores. The older photos were really interesting to me in that it shows predominately females as the store customers. I don't know if this was reality or marketing but interesting store layout none the less. Also interesting to note is the photo with the department dedicated to tie-in the movies and shows. http://www.slate.com/slideshows/arts/record-store-browsing.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope the bug has not bitten me [:|] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
