I figured PJ would be in that range

I’m more shocked at the $20 for a 4 LP Van Halen release lol

The zevon is more my comfy range when I looked it up

 

[KenKaniff]

It's looking like I'm in for U2, Bill Evans, Larry Lovestein and maybe Raphael Saadiq. But probably not. About to buy a Huse so I have to chill out.

Bobby Smith must love picture discs

Bobby Smith must love picture discs

I’d own 5 Cure albums by now if it weren’t for Bobby Fuckin’ Smith’s infatuation with pic discs

 

[LiamGallaghersBucketHat]

Usually there are one or two items on my list every year, but I’ve got nothing.
I feel like Show will be easily available for less than retail down the line.
I’m just bored with live, live, live, b-sides, remix, demos, blaaaaaaaah.
Especially with the prices.

I broke down for bloodflowers. IIRC there still isn't a non-pic disc of it?

Back when RSD started out vinyl was still relatively niche. 15+ years later Vinyl is super popular now and it doesn’t really serve the same purpose for consumers (it’s still a big day for local record stores though) used to be a place to find rare or out of print releases but nowadays those releases drop every week. So, now we get colored vinyl, b-sides, and live albums. We all just have to adjust our expectations. I am happy to go and buy a few things but there is less and less that I am excited about each year.

I literally just pulled the trigger for an OG copy of this for $45 two days ago maybe the seller on Discogs knew something...

Thank you for your sacrifice

At this point(the last 5 years or so), I have zero expectations going in. I’d much rather have quality over quantity. I just think RSD needs to freshen things up. Although if sales are better every year, that’s probably not going to happen.

I’m also tired of this

 

[eatdogs]

Pretty awesome list for my personal tastes.

Heroin - Discography

Horse the Band - The Mechanical Hand

The Mars Volta - Francis the Mute

Taproot - Welcome

I've been wanting that Taproot album on vinyl for a while now. Awesome

Thankfully no Bowie announced so far. Would be interested in the Miles and Soul Asylum. Would also love the Terry Callier but I doubt I will see it since it is some tiny pressing amount of a 1000.

 

[mitchwagz]

I wouldn't mind getting one or two of those Soul Jazz comps...

Just get all five! But really, that 200% dynamite collection is . If you’re into reggae/dub/rocksteady, et. get that one for sure. Plus it looks like there’s some new tracks on it including Sister Nancy’s One, Two. The Ska and New York Noise are also a seminal collections. I think I actually have all three of those collections already. I’ve never heard anything the other two but they look great too.

Fuck. That sucks. Hope their plea is heard.

 

[bettim84]

I’m going basic: Pearl Jam and The Cure. I have a copy of Show already but it has one very, very annoying skip at the beginning of “The Walk.” I’ll happily buy the picture disc.

 

[Skalap]

Japanese list, very meh.

Was just streaming New York Noise as I was shoveling snow tonight. Needless to say, that one's at the top of the list now.

The remastering Details give me hope that the picture disc will not be the only version of this
