Monster Music & Movies

It is looking like we will have a few extra copies of this:

A note, in case it's confusing.  4/23 is the one and only Record Store Day this year, but 6/18 will be a safety net "drop" date for RSD titles that don't make it in time for 4/23!
 

Already got a tracking number as well, so top work here! 

You're welcome, thanks for the order!  Here's a better link to our remaining inventory:

Thanks  very much. Picked up Tears for Fears from you! Appreciated! 

Hey folks, we will be going live with our remaining RSD inventory on our website, www.monstermusicsc.com, at 1 pm.  It takes a few minutes for everything to populate, so give it another 10 minutes or so afterwards.  We've got a bunch of stuff left, hopefully something you want!  Also storewide sale on all non-RSD stock - 20% off today only. Thanks for letting us post!
 

I canceled my outstanding pre-orders i had with them. Will find another brick & mortar store to shop at locally or online.

We have it up for preorder now:

Edited thread title accordingly

This is an interesting thread, and I don't have all the answers by any means.  We're a store and know the RSD people pretty well, and I can tell you with some certainty that Plaid Room is not "affiliated" with RSD in any meaningful way, any more than any other store is.  They are also a label, but I don't think that has anything to do with anything.  
 
From where we're sitting, the #1 reason that some stores receive mega multiples and others receive few to none has almost everything to do with the store's volume and order history with the distros.  Small stores that aren't well capitalized (and that's no dig at them, everyone has to start small) generally aren't going to have an ordering history with the distributors that justifies a lot of quantity. Every call is a judgment call, and it's impossible to be fair to everyone.  I know that some stores, in the rush to amass RSD inventory, will order from distributors that they scarcely order from all year long, and the distros are going to reward the stores that order from them every week or two, not the ones they never hear from.  We've been on both sides of that.  
 
Now, as to why a single store would have 300 or more copies of any one title (unless the band in question was local to them), if in fact that's the case, I have no idea.   
 
 
 

There is a special place in heaven for shop owners who sell RSD leftovers on Discogs at list price. Got Pearl Jam. 

This has been available on CD in the past but is being pressed on vinyl for the first time.

From a record store owner myself this sums it up perfectly. Well said
