They didn't come up in any of my searches last year (I combed the internet looking for the Nirvana record). They have a webstore so they might.

This will probably get lost in the depths of this thread, but UK stores put their stuff up next weekend (I think it's Midnight UK time Friday to Saturday). Banquet Rise Resident Drift Crash Piccadilly Rough Trade Monorail (maybe) and many more. Some go straight onto Discogs or Ebay (Big Sparra and Andy's Records Aberystwyth are two that spring to mind). Personally, I would avoid Banquet for a number of reasons. Everybody goes there (which means more people fighting over the items) and this used to slow their website down to the point of being unusable (Rough Trade can be similar). They have a new website this year so we'll see how it holds up. I also believe from RSD purchasing experience that they oversell and don't fulfil orders claiming they have been sent and lost when they actually didn't have the stock to fulfil all their orders. You get your money back, but you don't get the record. I've also had a glitch with Rough Trade when two items disappeared from my order. It was impossible to show when they disappeared as Rough Trade don't put what you bought in their confirmation emails. Norman were not allowed to participate today, but may get some stock to sell next weekend. I know that they are popular here. I like Norman, Crash and Resident.

I saw a few out there today after the queues had gone. It's probable there will be some around when the online sales go up next weekend.

Richer Sounds offer is now instore only. Telesales have sold their allocation.

Pitched up at my local store at 1040. They had very little (they closed and reopened under a new name in the last year) but the new owner seems to have followed his predecessor's example and set his prices higher than anywhere else I've seen online. Got a Kate Nash for someone here and Cocteau Twins Milk And Kisses and Four-Calendar Cafe for the board. PM me if you are interested. @GhostTrail - I will keep my eyes and ears open for a copy. Barbie Girls everywhere. Expect there to be plenty online next weekend.

OK, I know this is only one person's experience, but I wouldn't go near Hell's Headbangers again. It says on their site: RECORDS ARE SHIPPED OUTSIDE OF THEIR JACKETS TO PREVENT DAMAGE DURING TRANSIT. Well, they didn't for me. Huge seam splits with the records sticking out of them. When I reminded them of the above, they said 'not our problem'. Only got my money back when I got my credit card company involved. And yes, the records were still playable; I'm a whiny bastard etc. etc., but they put it right at the top of every page listing vinyl and then they don't do it. With multiple records.

I watched a lot of anime in the 90s and have dipped my toe in every so often since then. This is in my top three and was only previously available as a Region 4 DVD: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/alltheanime/mind-game?ref=home_recs

Information I have is 750 (each) for the UK. I expect they'll be on sale elsewhere in Europe, so maybe 1000 each.

On the other side of the world from me.

Blue /300 here: https://www.musicglue.com/anathema/products/anathema-the-optimist-exclusive-limited-edition-blue-vinyl

Not RT exclusive and (as usual) cheaper elsewhere: http://www.resident-music.com/productdetails&product_id=48407?ref=http://royalbloodband.com/?eml=2017April13%2F3949139%2F6242832&etsubid=135768712?intcmp=170413/royalblood/wmi/spl/s_pr/img/bdy/ww/HDWGSD-preorder-splash_coloured-vinyl

It's up at CCMusic. No idea if their shipping costs makes it any cheaper: http://www.ccmusic.com/let-me-come-cover-25th-anniversary-edition/607618214517

This never seems to go out of print in the USA, so this looks like another batch has been imported to Europe and the price has been inflated to an even more ridiculous level. Still plenty on Ebay UK for a good deal cheaper than the links on here.

It's not restricted to the BB store here in the UK. I have found it for sale in the wild: https://www.normanrecords.com/records/164678-buffalo-tom-let-me-come-over-25th

I love this record so much and I don't care if no-one else does. The vinyl release only has 10 songs from the 17 song 1992 live set, but all are available as a download. They didn't play Porchlight (my favourite BT song of all), which is a shame. They are doing some 25th anniversary shows with two sets - one of LMCO in full and the other of the rest of their stuff. The promo fluff is only on the UK page. The US one just has the order details. http://archive.beggars.com/buffalo-tom-let-me-come-over-25th-anniversary-edition/ http://arkivestore.beggars.com/let-me-come-over-25th-anniversary-edition

Nothing there or on the FB page. Stuff sold at Music Glue is rarely exclusive and usually says if it is.

As good as the studio version of Stigmata is, the one on here is better. I would say that the versions of So What, Thieves, Burning Inside and Stigmata are better than the studio versions.

4 blue 180f records, 2CDs and a Blu-Ray. Coming soon to the Rammstein tour but already on sale in other places: https://shop.rammstein.de/en/catalog/Visuals-Sounds/DVD-Blu-Ray/Rammstein-PARIS-Deluxe-Box-Edition.html https://www.rammstein.de/en/rammstein-paris/

Music On Vinyl snuck this one out quietly. I only found out about it (and bought it) today. No coloured variant, but it doesn't seem to be that widely available (other than a few on Discogs and Amazon): https://www.amazon.co.uk/Case-Didnt-Feel-Showing-vinyl/dp/B01NBY1HNF/ref=tmm_vnl_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1490467962&sr=8-1-fkmr0 https://www.amazon.de/Case-Didnt-Feel-Showing-Vinyl/dp/B01NBY1HNF/ref=sr_1_1_twi_lp__3?ie=UTF8&qid=1490468081&sr=8-1&keywords=in+case+you+didn't+feel+like+showing+up

Not just Banquet - everyone. Good advice is to avoid Banquet if you can. Yes, they have a lot of stock, but the website grinds to a halt as soon as they go up and I believe (from experience) that they oversell and a lot of orders go unfulfilled. There will be a lot of other options for this - I strongly suspect it won't sell out. BTW, for UK RSD regulars, Norman Records in Leeds are not allowed to particiapte this year as it's been deemed they aren't really a bricks and mortar store (which TBH is true). They hope to get some stock in for the online sales.

Sorry, just realised I posted a CCMusic code rather than a CCVinyl one. Never seen a CCVinyl one.
