Bottles are going to be manufactured, but there might be a law against selling beers at a bar and letting people take them to go. It'll be in kegs at the show, though, for sure.

Jeff never told me.

I'm not sure about the bottles. Those might just be for employees or something. They might have both for sale at the event. It's getting worked out, haha. I think it's going to be one normal price to get in or half off with a Reckless receipt from RSD. All the details are still being worked out, sorry.

Not sure how many bottles will be available. At the show I think it'll just be in kegs at the bar.

Upstairs.

Here's the official announcement dealie: We are beyond excited to announce that Reckless Records has teamed up with Three Floyds Brewing for an exclusive rye beer for Record Store Day 2012!! It's a rye pale ale called "Rye'd Da Lightning" featuring label artwork by the talented horror/gore artist PUTRID. The beer will be available exclusively at the Bottom Lounge on the night of Record Store Day. SWEET COBRA, CHICAGO THRASH ENSEMBLE, PARTY DOWNERS & more TBA will be performing. We'll be announcing more details shortly.

Andrew - no problemo. You just came in and bought it. I didn't really do anything but get it there! Yeah, there's nothing hidden or stashed away or whatever other conspiracy theories people sometimes have. Everything is for sale! I didn't even buy anything for myself! All of the records I was interested in I already had: Soilent, Coalesce, DEP. Moonbeams - thanks! Our mailorder guy is the best.

Sorry, we only got single copies of most things.

If someone beats you to it, yes.

There's just one copy of most things. Nothing is a reissue, these are just new copies that HH still had.

What's the problem?

Our homies at Hydra Head bestowed a bunch of out-of-print, limited, colored-vinyl records upon all three Reckless stores and they're now hitting the floor. Bands include: Botch, Dillinger Escape Plan, Pelican, Big Business, Xasthur, Soilent Green, Coalesce and a bunch more! Check it out!

Welcome to RSD.

That Pink Floyd 66/67 was also released months before RSD, and we had it in stock then, too. We all thought that release was a weird RSD release as we'd already had it in stock.

in the vault and somewhere else they posted 50 random mail order, 100 third man and 150 various independent record stores. Then later, they announced the 5 stores. Right. Nowhere in there does it imply that the remainders will be divided evenly among the five stores. That was just people jumping to conclusions. Worded poorly? I could see that.

PS - If someone from here emailed Reckless about this from rocketmail.com - I responded to you but it failed.

OK, I checked this thread again. What Jencik said. Dreamover - Third Man never implied anything. That's all in the head of record collectors. They said there was 300 tri-colors. They said 100 were for the TM store. They said 50 were for random mailorders. They said that five stores were getting copies. No one ever said that each store was getting 30 copies. People just assumed all the rest were going to stores.

What's incorrect? But obviously there's some level of discrepancy here between what customers were told and what you know. I won't check this thread anymore.

That's incorrect. I know we got 10, and now I know there's zero left for sale.

Scott - I can guarantee that's not what happened. Even if an employee or two DID buy one, why is that a problem? We got 10 copies and they're gone!

We'll do our best, as always!

there were five of us in line. at 9:20 the guy let us in (which we were very thankful for) and the five of us checked out. i asked the guy that checked me out, how many they got. he said "we only got six". when i was walking toward the door, a kid was knocking and the other guy working said "there's your six!" and let him in. they did not let anyone else in after that. Well - I looked at the sales and there was definitely more than six sold, so I have no idea what they were talking about! Whatever! Glad you got one man!

So where did the other 4 go? I'm not sure where this "6 copies" thing came from. My guess would just be a confused employee. Maybe there was only six left when someone called? I was off today but was told that there was no crazy rush for them and they just sold quickly in the first hour or so we were open.

What you need to understand is that Third Man said there would be 150 left, but never that ALL of those would be going to stores.

I'm the one that handled the ordering and processing of the tri-colors for Reckless in Chicago at all three stores. Like the Saddle Creek shop, we only got 10, had a million calls, and they were gone immediately. End of story!
