10th in line here in cbus …lots of swiftes here

Is that Yusef Lateef an EU only? I don't remember hearing about it

Seems like it's a UK/EU exclusive yes I's on Gilles Peterson label ARC.

Would be interested if my EU/UK guys found the Art Blakey record? My local only had one (they asked for 15) but they told me they were expecting a lot more next week.

3:30 am in a suburb of PDX and I'm somewhere in the 12-20 range I'm guessing. Crazy. Not sure how much is T-swift vs other stuff

That’s insane.

Seems like this list really drawing people out this year. Will be interested to see how online sales go tbh, me thinks they might be pretty hard to come by for some items. Didn’t really realize how solid the list was until the last few days, seeing the hype all over the place unlike the last few years around here.

Just posted up at 5:55am outside of Lilliput Records in Milwaukee and this is the longest I've ever seen this line. I'm around 100-110 in line. They open at 7am and I probably won't be getting in until 7:30-7:45am at the earliest. Glad I layered, but I should've grabbed my other coat.

I bought one for me but if you can't find any, I got you covered. Let me know. I am in France so keep in mind shipping is expensive.

Looking at shipping and the current going price I think I'll wait to see if anyone this side can grab it, $90 CAD is probably a bit much for me on this one but THANK YOU!

Good lord, okay JUST to be safe if anyone sees that Tricky maybe just @ me first? You lunatics going this early I could actually end up with 19 of them.

One present for each of your birthdays!

Definitely busiest since COVID. Here about 30 min early, I'd spitball 100 deep at a place that usually has 50 or so by open. They just said about 10 titles are sold out as they go in through the line. Very neat

We were 73rd confirned

A friend in CT was able to grab the PJ and Soul Asylum for me. His store takes your list and lets you know what you get. He was first in line so got pretty much everything he wants. Store opens in 5 mins, so he’ll be on his way home in a few minutes.

I’m going to head out later once the swifty lines subside

I’m like 30 or 40 from the front here in Alexandria, VA. Got excited because I didn’t see any line when I walked up from around the corner, but apparently this year someone decided to line up in the OTHER direction lol.

Judging a line by its cover. A large majority seem like they're here for swift. Impressive

Until last year when TS was the ambassador; I'd get there around that time and be about 10th in line.
Unfortunately I'm working a double today and can't make it out, but did stop in at Acme yesterday to take a look at the crazy collection Ken got in.

 

[snoops]

Just showed up at my local and can confirm big crowds today. Im about 30ish.

Lost the line lottery too…flanked by swifties. Headphones don’t fail me now.

 

[Hemotep]

Decided to skip waiting in line this year. Kind of regretting it because I like supporting the little local I go to for RSD. Will probably pop in later, but I'm sure what I want will be gone.

Nice! Couldn't make it to Acme yesterday, but definitely gonna drop some coin there after the week he's had. Anything essential you want me to keep an eye out for for you?

Interesting to hear what was going first. Much of the expected - Lennon, Macho, 1975. And some surprises.
