    Looking for a copy of UK RSD release Erased Tapes (Various Artists) 1+1=X. The label put up copies but it's nearly $200 after shipping...

    That looks about right I'm afraid. Places are charging around £100 for it and it looks like it will weight more than 2kg when packed (if not before), so that makes shipping somewhere between £30 and £40. The cost vs mass ratio peaks at just over 2kg as Royal Mail won't handle it any more and couriers costs are a big step up.

  2. I'd actually avoid Banquet if you can find your stuff elsewhere. First, everyone is at Banquet, so the stuff sells quickly. Second, they send stuff out in those appalling cardboard envelopes that offer no protection to your records.  Most of my experiences with Banquet have been bad. I would go to Resident or Crash (in Leeds) instead. Piccadilly are good too. Rough Trade will be nearly as busy as Banquet.

    I have looked everywhere for the Sonic's Renezvous Band 78' LP that appeared to be a UK release. Have literally seen one listed on ebay and thats it. If anyone sees one at their local store, I will cover trouble/time/cost to snag it for me. Only one i found below:

     

    https://www.ebay.com/itm/SONICS-RENDEZVOUS-BAND-RSD-2018/282937383383?hash=item41e061d9d7:g:4hsAAOSwN-la3Ep6282937383383?hash=item41e061d9d7:g:4hsAA

    These look like they are still in stock at multiple UK stores. This gets repeated every year multiple times, but I guess every year there are new members. UK online sales do not go up until 0000 local time on the Saturday after RSD. I believe that to be 1900 EST. Sites like Rough Trade and Banquet pretty much cease functioning in the bunfight. Norman Records are not participating in RSD  again this year (and probably never will again as they are a warehouse where you can pick stuff up if you are local rather than a proper store. This is a shame as their customer service is great). Other places like Piccadilly, Crash and Resident have all been used by US residents here. I don't know when my best local store (Monorail) put theirs up.

     

    @GoBlue325, there is a chance I can get the Sonic's Rendezvous Band record tomorrow (no promises). If you want me to get it so you can avoid the scrum on Friday evening (your time), I can do that, but please remember that shipping will be somewhere between $17 and $20 (I cannot compete with actual stores who may be in a position to charge less) and if you change your mind, that will be reflected in your trader feedback and posted here. In the days when there was something worth queuing for on RSD, I would buy for US folk and would get stiffed by at least one person each year.

    Does anyone know of some UK sites selling before the 28th? Trying to get my hands on that Wolf Alice.

    Flippers only. If a store puts its RSD stuff up early, it probably won't be getting involved in RSD next year.

    Got Sufjan from 1234Go but not seeing The National.

    I think that most of The National must be here in the UK. I went into one small shop just before closing yesterday and they had 10 (or so) copies. UK stores have an agreement with RSD not to put their stuff online until next weekend, so if you are willing to pay the shipping, I suspect there will be plenty to go around.

    We know everyone is visiting their favorite record stores this weekend, and we don’t want to get in the way of the fun of that, so we’re going to post Nico colored vinyl at a not too later date. Don’t worry, we’ll give advanced notice!

    They're really not trying this time.  A $30 standard weight vinyl option (which will be cheaper in shops) and a $70 signed heavy weight option. No colours and no 50 'test pressings'. For my sins, I have pledged both times and the customer service has been bad both times. I see no reason not to wait for the proper release.

    very ordered yes.

     

    also available on amazon UK: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Details-Gatefold-sleeve-180-vinyl/dp/B079X8T4N2

    Nothing on that listing that I can see indicates it is the coloured version. Amazon UK don't usually sell the coloured versions. Amazon.de do:
