SarahC Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 I'm not going for much this year. Really just the Ryan Adams 7"I wish I had more money. If I did I would be all over the replacements 10" and the reissue of the hold steady. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Moss Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Got the manic street preachers picture disc, some guided by voices colored vinyl, Social distortion colored vinyl, parquet courts live, and a few 7 inches. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LouieB Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Had fun working at Laurie's but I have to say, this is the year RSD jumped the shark. The record companies used to give out free shit, but no longer and prices are ridiculous. Got a couple cool things, but plugging the Springsteen reissues seems besides the point.

tinnitus photography Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 yeah i was surprised by the no goodie bag deal myself... usually a bunch of shit but there were a few decent things here or there.that said, i spent *way* more than i was expecting to... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LouieB Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 It's very easy when an LP is 25-35 bucks or doubles are more than that. And the box sets?? Yikes. LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 If I had such places to go to - I would have bought that Metallica tape. I see it is already going for a bunch of money on Ebay. I don't want it that bad. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tinnitus photography Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 I'd say most single LPs were around $20 and 2lp were $30 or so. Notable exceptions were the Beefheart 2lp for near $40 and the blue 180g signed Basement Tape LP that was $45. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LouieB Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Well yea, I was slightly exaggerating but not much. Most LPs were in the low 20s for individual, but there were plenty of single LPs that went over into the $30 range. Singles where I was were going in the $10 range. All this is still a lot of money if you buy a handful. LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DewieCox Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 RSD had jumped the shark by the time the second year rolled around, not to mention RSD Black Friday. A few nice releases mixed with a boatload of pic/colored discs and material that shouldnt be released. Lotta false demand comes from that little RSD sticker. Vinyl prices in general are all over the map. Doesn't seem any better or worse on RSD, from what I've seen. Not much rhyme or reason to it, ime. You can get a nicely packaged 2xlp for $30 or pay the same for bootleg quality packaging and flimsy vinyl. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LouieB Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Jumping the shark is a relative issue I suppose. I talked to a friend who really wanted (and got) some of the releases this year, so to him it was an essential year. And while I got a few interesting things, I could have lived without all of it. Setting up the record buying public with fake shortages or perceived shortages is just plain wrong in my opinion. Most egregious this year were the Springsteen reissues, which will be fully available after RSD, but then again Uncle Tupelo did the same thing a few years back. And if a short supply release is important and interesting to a large number of people, the shortage does a major disservice to fans. But ultimately it does bring a ton of folks in to stores, some of whom can always use the customers and others who get plenty to stay in business year round.

tinnitus photography Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 i have one suggestion that would decrease flipping: do not state the pressing size. let people figure out if it's rare or not, don't create artificial demand that way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
knotgreen Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 YayHow's the Blitzen Trapper LP? This was the only release I wanted on RSD and I couldn't find a copy... They're on eBay for 4X retail price... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tinnitus photography Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 i didn't see a copy either. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LouieB Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Or better yet to stop flipping, produce a whole bunch and sell them for a year. LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tinnitus photography Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 that puts a burden on the stores, though. from what I hear, stores can't send unsold RSD stock back to the distributors (hence all the 2014 RSD stuff sitting in the sale bins). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moss Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 How's the Blitzen Trapper LP? This was the only release I wanted on RSD and I couldn't find a copy... They're on eBay for 4X retail price...You mean the cover of Harvest? I saw tons of those. Pretty sure I might be able to get one at regular price if you want. I can at least look.

SarahC Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 If I had such places to go to - I would have bought that Metallica tape. I see it is already going for a bunch of money on Ebay. I don't want it that bad. If I get back to my record store on Friday- I'll see if they've got any left. If they do I will snag you one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SarahC Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Also, I feel like the $12 I paid for the Ryan Adams single was a complete rip off. The store I go to gouges the hell out of the stuff they get, but they're the only store in town that gets stuff. Double edge sword I guess. Really looking forward to checking out the records at Vintage Vinyl in St. Louis in a couple weeks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tinnitus photography Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 yeah $12 is high for a 7" but i think the standard price is 9 or so bucks now. crazy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SarahC Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 I sort of regret it, because I bet RA will have it at the shows we're seeing next week at the Ryman. On topic- the hold steady re-issue of Boys and Girls In America sounds awesome. I'm so glad this record was a grower, because I HAAAATED it at first. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
