Well yeah, i guess what i should have asked is why are they advertising it like it's a big deal? Does it really make a difference?

So the outer sticker says 180 gram / 100% virgin vinyl. Anyone know what virgin vinyl means? I haven't ever seen that term used before...

Picked all 3 of these up today at Reckless, and all 3 had cd's, no downloads. The Rock Art cd has 3 bonus tracks, Global has 1, and Streetcore has 7.

Hi fellow VC'ers, I know this might be a long shot on this forum, but figured it couldn't hurt to try... I recently won 2 tickets to the Fray / Kelly Clarkson show this Saturday 9/1 at the First Midwest Bank Ampitheater in Tinley Park, IL. These are promotional tickets from RedEye and Mamba (candy?), located in the Mamba Party Deck, which is to the left/rear of the seating area. According to the contest rules, they have a $75 retail value for the pair, but I will consider any/all offers... honestly at this point I'd even give them away to someone who would legitimately enjoy the show. All my efforts to get rid of them have proved futile to this point, so just PM me if you're interested. Pickup in downtown Chicago / West Loop.

Does anyone know if the vinyl is supposed to be available in retail stores today too? A few places i checked appear to only have the cd... Edit: got my own answer from their fb page. Vinyl is delayed to retail stores until 9/11

this is a pretty specific request. I'm looking for Eminem's Lose Yourself on vinyl. Preferably 12" single, but would also consider other formats (8 Mile soundtrack, Curtain Call, etc)

KRM bundle gives you downloads of the deluxe / extra tracks.

does anyone know how and when you can pick up the 3-day passes?

anyone have an extra 3-day for sale?

The Steve Hoffman forums are pretty good. TONS of good info and knowledgeable peoople. Leans heavily on classic rock and audiophile stuff, but you'll run into all walks over there. http://www.stevehoffman.tv/forums/

this article sums up my thoughts really well: http://dyingscene.com/news/on-the-passing-of-tony-sly/

info here: http://dyingscene.com/news/weezer-to-reissue-blue-album-on-vinyl/ and here: http://www.spin.com/articles/weezers-blue-album-gets-vinyl-reissue-again what's the general opinion of the Back to Black releases? any good?

definitely excited for this.

Yeah, i was standing in the back near a dude singing along to every song. He kept commenting on how quiet the crowd was... I couldn't tell if he was happy or upset about it, haha. That wasn't you, was it? I'm not a big fan of The SubT, too narrow and crowded and usually loud, but it was definitely one of my better experiences there.

picked up this set at the Chicago show tonight for $60 but it is NOT signed or numbered. oh well, still stoked to have a copy! show was good, played a handful of songs from each album, 2 Bad Books songs, and a new MO song.

yeah... I like this one better Booklet with rare images of Marley and rarer images of his pet sasquatch

two random requests... Saint Alvia - Between the Lines (CD) Living End - The End is the Beginning Repeating (CD) Hoping to pay less than import price for these. If you have them please PM me your price.

so this came out, did anyone else get it? It's a nice sounding record.

just to play devil's advocate, if it was your usual store, wouldn't you have known about the lottery and had a chance to enter into it, or at the very least not be surprised by it? and if it was done fairly, you would have had as equal a shot as anyone else. maybe those 5 people should each have gotten to pick 1 and ONLY 1 item to reserve, not get a blanket entry into the store. maybe the point system isn't based on dollars spent. maybe it's number of visits (any qualifying purchase counts as a visit). maybe it's some crazy algorithm that takes into account dollars spent, number of visits, number of stores visited, etc. the point being, there's gotta be people out there that can put their heads together to make a fair and balanced, yet rewarding and fun, system like this. maybe in the long run it would even benefit the stores moreso throughout the year, as opposed to just a single day.

i'm not talking ridiculously high thresholds, maybe a few hundred bucks? maybe simply the act of signing up and making a single purchase some other time of the year entitled you to something, would discourage even a small percentage of the flipping? Maybe if they had a handle on how many members signed up, they'd have a better idea of what quantities to press. Maybe they could even drive this by a web/phone/social app that allowed you to vote on items you wanted, and it would help them geographically and demographically satisfy more people. either way, nothing will ever please everyone... it's just an idea...

posted this in another forum, wanted to get another set of opinions here... Some of the biggest complaints I always hear about RSD: -long lines, slow moving lines, lots of waiting -high prices (some argue they're purposely high to discourage flippers) -local / loyal customers being unable to get the items they seek I wonder if some of those concerns could be mitigated if RSD and the participating stores started some type of loyalty / rewards program, where for every dollar spent, you get a point, and X amount of points gets you incentives on RSD. The new "year" would start the day after the last RSD, and you'd have a full 365 days to earn points for the next year. Hell, even your current purchases could count to your next year's points. This could be implemented on a per-store basis (loyalty to only that particular store), or on a widespread basis where you could earn and redeem at any participating store in the country. I could see pros and cons with both approaches. Per-store encourages loyalty to your local shop and helps keep it in business so you have somewhere to go, but a global program encourages supporting all stores (for example if I want to visit a store in a different city I travel to, I can still get points and feel good about supporting another store) Anyone who isn't a flipper likely spends a decent amount of time and money throughout the rest of the year at shops to make this fair and feasible, and hopefully give them advantage over the flippers who only come out once a year. For those who say there isn't a store close to them and they have to shop online or drive hours to their closest shop, I'm sure there could be a way to gain points through online purchases as well, through some of the larger retailers. Some ideas that I could see being good rewards: -early store entry to RSD (1 or 2 hours earlier than the general public) -ability to reserve a certain number of items -discount pricing compared to the regular retail price (10%-20% off?) -super-exclusive items available only to program members -entry into drawings for special prizes Obviously, the rewards should be tiered so the highest earners reap the biggest benefits, but the lower earners still get included and get recognized for their buck as well. I haven't thought this all out, so I'm sure there are plenty of flaws in this logic, but I'd like to hear your thoughts, if you think this is a good idea and if you'd participate in something like this.
