RSD 2020

If anyone spots Mew's record someplace please lemme know!
I got it from Port of Sound, but unfortunately it's sold out there. I was surprised to get it from a US retailer bc it's technically an EU RSD record only. I'm a huge Mew fan and my general advice is don't overpay, it will turn up somewhere in the coming days. We are lucky that the world hasn't realized that Mew is one of world's best bands, so it won't be overpriced.
 
looking for links for I Saved Latin and Big L RSD?


People are asking some ridiculous prices for the Alternate Rumours on eBay and Discogs, for which there is 16,000..

But are they getting it?

Surprisingly yes, they are. Several up over $60 on bids. Anyone think it’ll really be that high value of a release?

People are idiots, though. I'd guess it's pretty inconsistent. I've seen people pay crazy money for VMP records that are available to the public and still in stock. I watched copies of When The Pawn sell for $140 + when it was in the available for preorder through VMP.
 
Fwiw, Zia had Alternate Rumours as 7k so that may have been a high international allotment record which may explain the prices or Zia was off base
 
just read on reddit that somebody bought from Amoeba and was billed $300 in overcharges.

I kept hitting the "host error" when I was checking out, and when I went back to the main site, the records were still in my cart. One order finally went through... 10 minutes later, 4 different order confirmations for the same 3 records. Amoeba said it happened to a number of customers, so I'm sure it'll work out, but I'm still waiting to hear back from them on cancellations.

They sure disappeared quick from Plaidroom’s site when it went live. Someone helped me out here to find one. Hopefully, a lot more will pop up. Way too many out there for the flipper prices to hold up. (I hope).
 
I want to get RSD release of Bill Evans’ Some Other Times, but it’s getting shit reviews on Discogs. Pressed at RTI and people’s copies are noisy.....

I don’t know if I want to risk it, especially as it’s an expensive RSD release. I love Bill Evans though!
It seems like 50:50. fellow forumners here and I have good copies and they sound goooooood. Take the risk?

They were up on Zia for a while, almost pulled the trigger but figured I didn’t need it/probably wouldn’t spin it much versus streaming the tracks. My store didn’t get any in, and I heard the same from a few others so I think there will be a lot to be had down the line. All of the previous “alternative” albums are readily available and all smaller quantity. Granted, this is Rumours, but 16,000 is a lot.
