RSD 2020

Just managed to snag a Charli XCX from banquet. They keep popping up randomly.

Alas, Derricks music failed to fulfil the order.
 
Listening to Jazz at Midnite right now and not really thrilled w/ the recording :/ Thoughts?
I haven't got my copy yet but have read quite a few reviews. The source material likely plays a big part in this. Its live recordings from the early 50's and the recording equipment just wasn't what it is today. @HuddieLedbetter put a great review up over on the Blue Note thread yesterday, well worth a read.

That's what I said to my husband - it's an old recording and a pressing is only as good as its source.
 
The Dirty Three is still listed on the RSD site as part of the September drop at 400 copies


But Fatbeats just released offered it for pre-order with an October date (same as Bullmoose) at 1k copies



I said that I thought this was an RSD release and FatBeats responded with

" thought so too - it's one of our unanimous all-time favorite albums here at HQ, so been stoked on this reissue for a minute - was going to be but looks like it got moved to a standard release in lieu of being a part of the third drop. "


Now, I'm trying to clarify whether or not it's the same release. I'll just buy it in September, instead of waiting, if that's the case



UPDATE:

SOLD OUT BACK UP!




Bullmoose still has their link on the site and it's for 10/23, as well, so, if it turns out that it won't be an RSD drop anymore, it might go live

I was able to snag a copy of the Trojan Records The Ska from Jamaica comp via Amoeba Berkeley’s Discogs page at lunch. 😊

This is the only thing of interest that I didn’t get but was on the fence about it anyway. I had it in my cart from Rough Trade but it sold out while I was browsing for something else to get free shipping 🤷‍♀️

It was really a late item that I was interested in and it seemed like stores only got 1 or 2 copies in. Most of the sellers on Discogs were overseas and I wasn’t going to go that route.
