    @ExtraFox do you know if Assai usually put their stock online? I stopped in by there a week or two after last RSD and they still had a few sought after things.

    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.

    Sorry to be a pain, but does anybody know of a UK-based store that does RSD online following RSD?  I'm looking to get the Dead or Alive -Unbreakable (The Fragile Remixes) since it's an Avex remix repress.  Thanks for your help!

    Thanks. If anyone grabs or can grab an extra Goldie 12" to ship to California, please let me know. 

    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.

  3. 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.

    10% off at hells headbangers

    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 want those 2 albums as well. Looks like they are retailing around 30 pounds. But I've seen no reference anywhere as to how limited they are to get an idea of how easy they'll be found after rsd.

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

  6. 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.

    Yeah, UK exclusive. I was going to get it for a friend's wedding present. Now I'll just have to hope it doesn't get flipped for an astronomical amount.

    Banquet puts all their leftovers up the following weekend so there's a good chance you can get it without paying flipper prices.

    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.
