Some stores didn't receive a huge percentage of their records for RSD this year. Belgian stores might have been affected. 

Thank you so much!

Yeah I'm screwed I think. Thankfully did grab a copy on black!

I live about 30 minutes away, and I won't be back there anytime soon, unfortunately. Maybe try calling them and see if they'll let you order one over the phone? Easy Street is sort of "the record store of Pearl Jam," so it's possible they'll do it. When you walk into the store, they have a Pearl Jam corner of the store (shit you not).

Good call. Went for it. 

For people in Seattle, I was in Everyday Music about two hours ago, and they still had quite a bit of stock remaining. Saw a copy of the Prolapse LP and some other things. I grabbed their last Weezer odds 'n sods, but saw some other things people have asked for.
 

I was there about 90 minutes ago in person, and they had probably 30-40 copies. They had some stock of other things as well, but no Robyn, Devo, or most of the other popular items people have asked for on here.

Just talked to Easy Street Records (easystreetonline.com) in West Seattle. They said they planned to have their leftovers up by now, but they can't get in touch with their web guy(?!). They hope to have theirs up in the next hour or so. He said they are out of Robyn, Devo, etc. Said most of what they have is the seeds and stems (my words there), but he said they do of course have some Pearl Jam copies left.

"We are no running this out of..."--that "no" should be "now" and not "not," right? 

Says the guy so old that he had a bust made of him. :p

The band always snickers when they hear that someone used it their wedding, which apparently occurs more than you’d think. 

Rhymesayers puts out probably the most consistently good picture discs. I don’t think twice about buying theirs. 

I generally don't buy pic discs cuz of the inherently bad sound reproduction, but occasionally you have no choice as is the case of Tool Lateralus. Which actually doesn't sound so bad. I also own the Beavis and Butthead pic discs. They're both pressed by the same manufacturer but they don't sound the same. One is decent and the other sounds like shit.
You really can't bet on them...

Yep, that's what I'll be doing from now on. And really, it's what I've done 99.9% of the time up to now anyway. You just occasionally see that one picture disc that calls your name and can't stop yourself from buying a shitty piece of vinyl.

This is what I decided on 15 years ago. I only buy picture discs when they are the only option available.

I still think my Hottopic Marilyn Manson Antichrist Superstar picture disk sounds better than the Hottopic Red repress now that one sounds like shit, and i continue to listen to the picture disk vs the red variant but thats just me. 

Why are you even buying Goodwill records that aren't in good playing condition?

I'm wondering if the picture disc from the small label is a lathe? Those almost always sound like shit. I only buy picture discs for the novelty, not for sound quality, so I maybe have about 10 in my collection. It would be great if someone could figure out how to make one with decent fidelity.

Picture discs are very much like glow in the dark vinyl and lathes.
 
Assume it will sound like shit. Every now and again you're surprised because it doesn't.
 
But it usually sounds like shit.

The green is nice.

It sounds like they're hoping you'll believe them and leave them alone. I imagine that customer service tactic works sometimes, otherwise they're wasting both parties' time stalling before issuing the refund/replacement.

Expect every picture disc to sound awful. If it doesn’t, that’s a nice little bonus.
