Record Store Day Question

[sweetcell]

No. No. Yes. No.

so, any tales of stampedes?  hipsters crushed to death inside the stores?  tales of alienation and human suffering because they sold their one copy of <insert name holy-grail record here> before you could get to the counter?  any hot chicks???

huh.  at least i don't feel bad for sleeping in, then.

at a minimum did you pick up any good vinyl?

here's an opportunity to score some out-of-print flaming lips albums on colored vinyl, all from the comfort of your home: http://www.flaminglips.com/store/product/heady-nuggs-first-5-warner-bros-records-1992-2002/

It wasn't bad.  Got the few things I wanted, but missed out on the Built to Spill single.  Plus spend a ton more money, which is probably the point.

Yeah, I wanted that Lips set, but it's expensive...and on their site.  No need to rush for that.

[Got Haggis?]

Got to soundgarden at 8:30, line as already all the way down the street.  Store opened st 10, didn't get to pick my records until about 11 - most rare stuff was sold out bynen.  At least I got the grinderman stuff

[Brian_Wallace]

The store I went to got in ONE  Lady Gaga "Born This Way" picture disc but the guy behind me wanted one for his niece.

So there.  I can be magnanimous when I choose to be.

I still don't know what the most desired records were.  I think a lot of people wanted the Phish soundcheck 45 and the Pink Floyd live album.  The store I went to had neither.  They had several of both White Stripes 45's but they didn't have the Rolling Stones one which was odd.  Screw "limited edition."  Mick Jagger will authorize PRECISELY the amount they need to press to maximize their profits.  Believe that.

Isn't the Flaming Lips thing just their first five studio albums on vinyl in a box?  Am I missing something?  What is so coveted about it?

Brian

[killsaly]

I believe it is coveted due to the vinyl being colored.

[teepo]

everything but soft bulletin had been out of print for over a decade and the former's reprint which came out not long ago is already fetching for high prices.

[nkotb]

Right.  Rather than paying $$$ I'd rather just buy that.  STill, didn't seem that coveted.  Store I was at had two or three in the morning...no one biting.  Was also about $15 bucks cheaper on their site.

the greatest thing that ever existed in the sense of space and time related to the band of the flaming lips was when i purchased off of ebay a box the size of a microwave filled with old tapes of early lips shows from OK and magazines with them in them and rare cds of stuff and other things i forgot because it has been sitting in my closet for a while.  that is why i like ebay over the nostalgia of the civilized world.

I just realized what you're talking about.  The Built to Spill "Ripple" single?  My store had tons of those.  But like, it didn't have the Duran Duran or The Cars single.   It's weird.  What stores get what.  It's like a pack of baseball cards.  It's a feeding frenzy.  You wind up buying stuff you have no idea what it is.  You just see there's one of something and you grab it.

I didn't think the Franz covers album was being released over here.  The fates agreed with me.  Nirvana and Foo Fighters are either overrated or really suck.
