Moss Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Maybe I'm a bit early on this thread but I look forward to this every year. Looks like Iggy Pop is the ambassador this year. I missed out on the Big Star album by showing up late last year. I won't make the mistake of being late this year. http://www.recordstoreday.com/Home Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LouieB Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Not all stores even got the Big Star LP last year. RSD is very cool, but admittedly I have records from the last few I have never gotten around to listening to. Also some titles were still for sale in stores long after the day was over. Any idea what the big draw is this year? LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moss Posted January 26, 2012 Author Share Posted January 26, 2012 I have not heard anything but I suspect announcements will be coming soon. I have noticed the crowds getting bigger and bigger every year so I'm sure like Christmas, things will start showing up earlier and earlier. I learned my lesson and know right where to go this year. But yeah, there is still stuff available from last year. I still have not seen a Big Star 3rd for sale anywhere though. Since Iggy is the ambassador, maybe there will be some "Raw Power" colored vinyl or something coming out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GtrPlyr Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I still have not seen a Big Star 3rd for sale anywhere though. I too missed out on the record store day Big Star release, which was a major let down at the time. Omnivore, the label that released that record is now selling clear vinyl editions that they pressed at the same time as the RSD ones. So, if you're still looking you can order one here: http://omnivorerecordings.com/shop/records/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tinnitus photography Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 i had a Big Star LP in my hands but it didn't feel heavy enough to include one of the test pressings so i put it back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kim Bodnia Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Hi, could anyone provide a link to the list of releases this year? I think I stumbled upon it the first time I read this thread and clicked on the link, now I don't seem to find it, thank you, is there anything by R.E.M. this year?

LouieB Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 So far only the T-Rex looks even vaguely interesting, with the emphasis on vaguely. LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 It's really just the Rhino expanded and remastered version with some other stuff thrown in. Those other tracks are not really unreleased, just not currently available. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
brianjeremy Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Smashing Pumpkins - Pisces Iscariot If this reissue gonna be anything like the last 2, it's gonna be great. Pisces is freaking great as-is...expanded plus a vinyl reissue = awesome. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GtrPlyr Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 So far only the T-Rex looks even vaguely interesting, with the emphasis on vaguely. LouieBYeah, what's listed so far doesn't spark any interest for me either. The T.Rex release is cool, but I already have that record on vinyl and CD. Not sure I'm gonna spring for another edition.
