We can not be held responsible for what happens if you put them in a laser disc player but we bet it's awesome.

A Mark... is great. Alter not so much. I hope they also press Dusk and Summer and So Impossible

Hello all!
 
        Here's our annual RSD thread! Hope you've all been well. I'm not sure quite how it happened but we went waaay bigger than last year it feels like so we've got a ton of stuff in house for the day. On top of all that we have been given an exclusive alternate artwork edition of The Longshot 7" picture disc. Customized for us by Billie Joe Armstrong just for RSD. This version will only be available in our stores. If there are leftovers we will put them online but we expect them to go pretty fast.

IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR OUR LEFTOVERS
 
Leftovers will be up at http://www.1234gorecords.com/catalog after we close on Saturday. I will update here with as accurate a time as possible. We have to reconcile two stores inventory to make sure everything is up and accurate but that usually only takes an hour or so.
 
Rules of the mail order road. 
 
1.  Please make sure your address is correct in your paypal account. We ship directly from paypal and they automatically input whatever address you have in there. If it isn't correct in your paypal account we may not catch it.
 
2. Please try to condense everything you want in to one order. We can try to combine orders if you place two but we may also miss it because we're processing hundreds of orders in a very short amount of time.
 
3. PLEEEEEEEASE don't place an order, freak out that you might not get something, order from some place else and then cancel with us. That's such a bummer. The inventory in our store should be accurate. If it's still up in the store, we still have stock. If we experience an oversell on something we will be in touch ASAP but that didn't happen more than a handful of times last year out of hundreds of orders.
 
4. If you have questions about an order, Please email [email protected] We won't be doing customer service stuff in this thread or even checking it that often as we'll be working like crazy to get your orders out in a timely manner.
 
Finally, Know we love you and are working very hard to get your orders out as quickly as possible. Also know that it's two people working on this and we aren't Amazon so while it will go quickly it won't be same day shipping. Last year I think we got everything out withing 5 or 6 days total. Oh and tracking will be available in your paypal account once we've shipped. If it's not there, we haven't gotten to it yet.  We've got a pretty great reputation around these parts for the most part I think so don't be scurred. We're going to take care of you and it's going to be great. Thanks everyone! You guys really make the dream work for us post RSD and it's greatly appreciated!
 
Oh hey, one last thing, our Oakland shop just turned TEN YEARS OLD this year! Thanks for your support over the years. We've got these snazzy anniversary shirts for sale right now in our Oakland shop and in our webstore if you're interested. HD Cotton shirts and a discharge print so the design will never crack or distort on you, unlike the band Discharge. Limited time only availability on those so if ya want one don't wait too long!
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Man, this Pop pressing sounds loads better than the original. Low end is perfectly deep. Vinyl is flat and quiet, clean and heavy (sticker says pressed in Germany - maybe Pallas?). 
 
Gonna have to order ATYCLB now because my original was purchased used and there is some wear on it. 

I spent most of the 90s listening to 'Indie' music and gradually moved away from it and into loads more different stuff. Dance/hip-hop etc. basically nothing about it appealed to me much. However, the first Arctic Monkeys record was a real revelation, excellent, I often go back and unlike some records from that era it still stands up.
 
Lyrically, there is so much more going on than Oasis for example. The later ones I didn't pay too much attention to, but I quite liked A.M as it tried something a little different again. The do come across as massive bell-ends at times, but there you go.
 
Compared to Demon Days which people were jizzing in their pants about as being 'the most important record of their childhood', I think this is more deserving.

Just to clarify; this is a weak ROTM pick because you overplayed it and burnt yourself out on it back in the day?  Just want to make sure I'm interpreting this post correctly.

Okay I’ll bite: anyone wanna give me a referral code for $10? I’m gonna sign up for a month. 
 
Edit: tvham got it. 

Yeah, mine came out to $51 shipped for the album and t-shirt...I figure the added bonus of tour presale access and postcard (hopefully signed) were worth it.

Mine was 9:44am on the West Coast as well and I'm only 10 or so ahead so you're probably right that they started with 1000. Would've regretted paying that much for shipping without the signed postcard

I ordered mine at 9:54am on the West Coast and was order #CHVR1072. I'm guessing they started with CHVR1000 but who knows?

I go to one shop here nearly every week, and last RSD I went at about 2am. It was great, they had a sign up list so you didn't have to stand in a terrible line all night, a fire pit, and music playing. People were just hanging out talking records and music. If you wanted to hop in your car and take a nap you could, it's in a nice area so you can walk around the neighborhood too. Then a couple hours before they open the bring donuts from a local shop and local coffee roasters come out and you get free breakfast. 

I understand not all of them are like this. I was basically done with RSD until I decided to do that on a whim last year and it was my favorite one yet. 

I understand you are trying to be facetious but if you have the right store it's a blast. The store I go to has live music, beer and breakfast. Sounds good to me.

If you have a good store around, give it a shot! I'm sure most of them could use the extra support.

Release date: April 20th

maybe don't read it?

I did... The date... 

Spoke too soon, lol!
This packaging is beautiful! Also comes with a half speed mastering certificate, nice!

Who cares? Demand was huge and they decided to make some more. I wouldn't worry, it's still gonna be a pretty rare piece that you can say you have.

If you're trying to hold back the mob, why not just say that there's no reason to rush to judgement? You say you're playing devil's advocate, but really you're just trotting out the generic playbook for rape denial: he's a good family man and she's mentally ill, repeat until the victim slinks off into a corner and is never heard from again.

I'm fully aware this photo is garbage but this was worth schlepping down to Banquet Records to pick up today

They tend to sell a handful of signed albums after gigs promoted by them happen (she played an in-store yesterday but I couldn't make it) and I was expecting black, *maybe* clear if I was lucky. But nope, tour purple! It's actually more of a fuchsia color, especially when held up to light. Very pretty and complements the album art well.

Ruins is the new and eagerly awaited album from Swedish sister duo First Aid Kit. This new album finds First Aid Kit as you've never heard them before: wounded and biting back hard. While Ruins follows the traditions of the classic folk rock sound that First Aid Kit revived via their breakthrough album Stay Gold (2014) and previous releases The Big Black And The Blue (2010) and The Lion's Roar (2012), the difference is that this time they've lived, and the results are intense.

Same, mine says arriving by Nov 2.  Worth the extra wait for the good price I got it for. 

Just arrived from Bullmoose. 
 
So fucking great. Lift top box, 3 double gatefolds (with only 1 LP in the album sleeve). Pressing is top notch. Didn’t even clean them before playing, and it sounds fantastic. I think the cut is really good. I’m interested in comparing it to my original Sire. 
 
Gonna play the live album this afternoon to see how that goes. 
 
I had had forgotten about ordering this until earlier this week and considered cancelling in case a better deal came along later, but I’m not disappointed in this isn the least. 

INXS Store has red and black versions available for pre-order now.
 
2017 marks a triumvirate of anniversaries for the legendary Australian rock band INXS. It’s now 40 years since they first formed the band; 30 years since Kick made them global superstars; and 20 years since the untimely passing of their iconic frontman and friend Michael Hutchence.
“You can hear this album like you’ve never-before,” says Giles Martin of the new 30th-anniversary Edition of INXS’s seminal sixth album Kick. “You can hear Michael so close to you, you can hear his breath. You feel like you’re in the studio with the band. You have a record that’s 30 years old, but it’s been taken in a completely new direction and you can listen to it in a completely new way and it becomes new again. Great music and great songs, they don’t get old.”

this album still is awesome

The webstore white vinyl arrived today, at first I was worried there was no 7" but it's tucked inside the gatefold in a thin paper sleeve. Side A is the Yuk Foo demo and side B is a demo called "Bad Things" - wish I could comment on it but I don't have anything to play it on in my dorm.
