Record Store Day 2023

[CrazyDiamond84]

Am I wrong in believing this is the only way to listen to it? I’m not really even sure what it is, but heard someone say that. If that’s the case, I understand the craze lol

I think its the only physical release, but you can stream it on spotify it looks like.

It’s been on Disney + for 3 years…

So then I have no idea why it’s this crazy

I mean I also bought it. But then I’m both crazy and went to my little RSD secret store that the rest of Dublin seems to have dismissed as being a chain, which it is, but this is such a small country that even our chain stores are indies lol.

Well I guess it’s also a sense of community for her fans, too. Akin to us Deadheads, we’ll show up for anything

First time I’ve stood in line for Record Store Day since…2018? Was able to easily get Taylor Swift and Beach House. Painless. Might look online for the Dead tomorrow.

 

[David A.]

Did my first RSD since 2018 as well. In and out of Rody’s Records within 10 minutes. Snagged Bill Evans and Chet Baker.

Rolling back into bed. Got a wedding to attend in Forsyth Park later today.

Even without underestimating the fandom of Taylor Swift, I'm perplexed seeing this 115k copy selling for $100+.

I talked to the owner of Village Revival Records in NyC . He’s got a shit ton of copies in stock. If you’re in the city, hit up Jamal.

I haven't weeded out what is essential from my list yet, so I'd say if you happen upon a Jazz Dispensary comp, I'd send you $ right away to snag one of those.

Some really cool stuff at Acme that came in all from one guys collection. 80s and 90s og pressings galore. Was drooling over a very pricy OG Pavement full discography including EPs. And OG The Cure s/t and Wild Mood Swings. I'm just happy he was able to get the shop back in business for the weekend, and a lot of people showed out for him yesterday.

Gotchu on the Jazz Dispensary comp. (They had like 10 of em when I left). DM me later and we'll sort things out.

What is sleep anyway?

 

[Hemotep]

An hour and a half after my local opened and the line is still 60 deep.

 

[radiorob123]

Got everything (except the Macho Man, which was never going to happen it turns out)

 

[Corycm]

Longest line I’ve seen at my local since pre-COVID. And that’s with two new stores opening since then. I posted up a touch before 7 and was easily double-back from my usual slot.

Really odd mix. A few people for TS but not a ton - really weird mixed crowd. Also this year my store only got 1 copy of every title the ordered with a handful of exceptions (20 TS for example) but even the PJ they only got 4. Isbell/Shires - 4.

This list of stock they got looked like this:

Nah, I was just curious cause it was so talked about.

 

[THEEDADROCK.BLOG]

Rolled up to my tiny local 15 minutes for before opening and the line is already 200 people deep. They've never had more than 20 or so in the past!

Shit is wild, guess I won't be getting that Frankie LP after all hahah

 

[Corycm]

Got most of my list punched.


I was around #25 or 30 in line. My store didn’t get any Sigur Ros, so that was my only miss.

I’ll be hunting that tomorrow, and will probably pick up that Ramones album and the Donnas tomorrow online (hopefully).

 

[avecigrec]

Sounds like it was a pretty normal line at my local today - my buddy walked by on his way to work and was disappointed not to find me

 

[RenegadeMonster]

Not much luck on my end this morning.

Veruca Salt was the only one on my list that I was able to get.

My local shop didn't get any of the Lacuna Coil or April March. Taylor Swift and The 1975 Sold Out before I got in, I was like 20th in line or something like that.

 

[Bennnnn]

Hard to say how difficult TS will be to get yet. The place I went had 150 in stock. And there were still two other shops who also had at least 70-80 copies each. The one I went to gave out numbers in line if you wanted it, and let you go in first if that's all you wanted (they kept them behind the counter). I'd say maybe 30-40 people in total including me bought a copy before I left? And yet there are already listening for over $100.

Update : I am now handing out tickets at Seasick. I have become RSD

Those are some pretty big inventory numbers. It baffles me how allocation works. For example, My local shop ordered 20 copies but got 5.

A lot of the shops around here only got but just a few.
