I mean, I'm not denying that this will be pretty easy to come across initially when it comes out. I just wouldn't overestimate how widely available it will actually be. I wouldn't be surprised if once this first repress is gone, it takes a little while to see it on shelves again. Just look at what happens every time Triple Crown represses Devil & God. It's easy to get for a month or two, then goes out of print for a while.

The standard non-RSD pressing of this that's coming out soon is already on sell hold through our store distributor, which means the entire pressing (or the quantity of the pressing going into stores) is pretty much accounted for.

The annoyance is definitely understandable then. I would never say that or be that blunt toward a customer.

Been on the hunt for this for a while.

As an employee of a record store, I have to say that this guy isn't completely in the wrong. We truly don't know how many copies of any given title we have until we receive our shipments with the invoice (unless we get e-mailed an invoice at the time of shipping). We put in an order for what we want, titles get allocated, and we receive whatever they send us. This is the most hectic week of the year for record stores, and it's hard not to get a little frustrated over things at times. The shop I work at got like half of our RSD titles today, only days before RSD. Not saying he should've been rude if he was, but it can get frustrating at times when responding to the same question so many times every day leading up to RSD, especially when you don't always know the definite answer. So to call them "fucks" for not responding to a question that they may very well not know the answer to is a little harsh.

This story was an interesting read. Would love to come across and dig through a collection like this : http://jazzcollector.com/features/the-complete-jazz-collector-bruce-m-west-collection/

This twitter posted a picture of it on their merch spread for tonight : https://twitter.com/brandnewrockfan

Apparently they are selling these at their current shows. $2 a pop.

Absolutely. I am eight reissues deep and every one sounds amazing.

I wish I could give this more up-votes. Great find!

Even though they are short clips, I'm loving the way those sounds clips on their IG are sounding. Really looking forward to this album.

My collection of Music Matters releases so far. I cannot recommend these enough. I'd like to eventually pick up all the 33's that the've done, but I've just been cherry-picking my favorite titles for now.

I am IN

Glad this thread got bumped. I just recently picked up a couple Heavenly Sweetness reissues. I think I've read that they are digitally sourced, but sourced from the analog tapes nonetheless. Sound pretty good to me. I got Grachan Moncur III "Some Other Stuff" and Hank Mobley "No Room For Squares". Both records are awesome and have great line-ups.

Any store that lets people buy more than one copy of anything on RSD is whack. It boggles my mind every year when someone comes up to the counter and casually tries to buy like five copies of something. Even worse when it's someone who I know will not come back to our store until the next RSD.

Then this is the thread for YOU

Yeah, a lot of RSD releases get very heavily allocated to stores. Our store could literally order 40 copies and potentially get sent like two. We have no idea how many we'll get until they actually ship to us and we get the invoice. You never know though. That Death Grips "Government Plates" BFRSD release was limited to 900 and I think we ended up getting like five.

One guy came in who has literally NEVER been to our store and asked if he could reserve TWO. I couldn't believe it.

I've already had multiple calls from people asking if they can reserve a copy at the store I work at.

Very nice. Creeping Death is my all-time favorite Metallica song.

Been wanting this record for a while. If the boot sounds good, I'll probably try to track a copy down.

My package departed Okemos, MI yesterday and arrived in Warrendale, PA today. I live in Wisconsin. Literally right next to Michigan. The USPS is a weird place, man.

Just got the 2013 mono reissue of this. I have mono and stereo copies, but I definitely prefer the mono copy. An essential album.
