Has anyone heard about some Canadian RSD exclusives? Usually there are only a few, but I can't seem to find anything. @justindinealone, anything for this year?

I was asking around about this too, can't get an answer.  The website that was up even for Black Friday RSD is has been taken down and the Facebook page is silent...

No Alexisonfire or Lalaland? 

Dine Alone (AoF) releases have never been 'RSD Official', but ask your store to order some and I'm sure they can.

for canada we're going to have

Alexisonfire "Crisis" - Single LP, pressed on white vinyl - hand numbered of 1977

The Lumineers "Seed Songs" - 10", limited to 1500

 

we're also opening a physical retail location soon.. hoping for record store day where we'll have titles from other labels, including RSD releases.

Superstar Car Wash on vinyl has been a dream of mine for 24 years now. Paying through the nose for a limited copy and having to re-buy the other four albums in the box just seems appropriate.

I'm torn on this myself.  I REALLY want that record, but do I want to fight people to pay through the nose for a boxset of other records I already own when there's a good possibility it will be released by itself at some point?

Idk if anyone else was excited for Ike Reiko record, but I was. Then I saw it was done by bamboo records a notable record label for pressing bootlegs. They made a bootleg of Ike Reiko's record a few years back so there is little doubt in my mind that this is a bootleg, and if that's true then this might be a new low for RSD allowing a bootleg in their official line up...

I'm getting excited listening to it.  Might have to pick this up.

I have the pressing of this from 2012 and it's not bad at all. Didn't even realize it was a boot when I bought it (the original press from 1971 goes for $500+ depending on the shape). But, yeah, RSD folks should be more cautious about the labels they allow in.

So this year all the records are going have  "Support Indie Record Stores.... Not Flippers" screen printed on them?  Neat!

 

Only really interested in that Doors album, maybe the Pink Floyd, but it's probably only two tracks.  Both will probably be gone immediately.  I would probably wait in line if they did a full live early Pink Floyd release.  It would be nice if they would at least include a track list.

I view this list in a  positive light..

 

OUT with the overnight lines just to get shuffled through a line to miss out on what you want and not actually stick around your record store; IN with the casual drop-in to see what is up and maybe pick up something else that has a RSD markdown! The lack of flipper bait on this list is refreshing, even if it means nothing that exciting to get riled up for.

no way in hell will the records actually have that crap printed on it. 

 

it's RSD organizers' prophylactic attempt at thwarting capitalism.

I wanted the Alice in Chains release but not on a 2 x 7" - I don't find enjoyment in listening to one song on each side....I just want a damn repress of Facelift. So I remain waiting.

 

For now I still only want UGK and probably Big L

 

I wish the tracklist for Big L was released but my guess is that it's:

Devil's Son

Devil's Son (Instrumental)
I Shoulda Used a Rubba
School Dayz
Timez Iz Hard

Games Females Play

Based on the last six RSDs, it will not be hard to find that Doors album in the aftermarket.

Those television personalities records were reissued a few years ago by fire records and 1972. Available for about 15 bucks. No need to wait till rsd

Thanks for the info. I'll prowl Discogs and then on RSD if a store has it I'll check to see if there's anything special about these editions (outside of colour vinyl or a coupon code for extra tracks I'd be surprised).

I'm happy to see there's interest in Television Personalities stuff!

I was at the right age for those excellent CD reissues in the early 2000s. I think they're a cut above a lot of their peers, tbh. More witty, able to incorporate folk influences as easily as The Mekons (but in a uniquely British way)... A clear influence for the punkier proponents of the American neofolk movement at the time of the reissues like Jeffrey Lewis.

This is high up on my list for this year. Very excited to finally own this. Creepy part is she was 17 when she did this and already an established porn star

Called a few of my local stores to see if they could get the Cocteau Twins LPs in and the general consensus was basically "no". Does anyone know if any UK stores or distros sell leftover RSD stock online the day/week after? I seem to recall Banquet doing that but I can't remember for sure. That seems to be my only chance unless a friendly person on here is willing to try to snag them for me <3
