Starting to feel like there might be more than 100 of these...

I think the album is a blast...yes its Green Day and theyre great at recycling old riffs and melodies here and there, but theyre all 50 and put together a real fun quick album. Not really sure what more you could want from them at this point..

How are we still living in a world with vinyl preorders where shipping is half the price of the record??

She didn’t mind using a ton of the labels money before she was a star to record, tour and see her music promoted. The label made a smart investment and now she is basically saying that since the label wont just “be nice to her” and let her have her masters that they’re “bullying” her. Meanwhile, her narrative has sparked uninformed people to ACTUALLY bully people. 
 
Terrible look for her and another L in her cringeworthy album promotion..then again were talking about her so maybe it’s a W after all....

There isn't a single album in existence that I would pay $50 for a current repress of that has no special packaging/autographs/bonus tracks...
 
These guys went on discogs and said "oh shit this sells for $150 we can charge whatever we want for this!" 

Looks like the QOTSA store has put up some first presses that they had in storage.

$9.99 shipping for a record and cd 🤦‍♂️

I agree and disagree here. Sure they could make more, but isn’t the limited nature what makes it fun for most of people who love RSD? People look forward to camping out, making lists, taking friends and meeting nee people in line and seeing what they get.
 
If everyone knew they could get everything they wanted, would they still care about RSD and these releases? Or say “$40 for a 20 year old soundtrack? Ill wait til its on clearance on Amazon..”
 
At the end of the day, most all of this music can be heard practically free through streaming or buying a used cd for $2(no one listens to ONLY vinyl)..but exclusive limited vinyl is what makes this fun. Its an impulsive, irresponsible, anxious, frustrating, and hopefully really satisfying day for people to share.
 
And its fun to miss something limited and have a new “grail” to seek out or trade for.

I get your argument and totally understand the other side of the coin. I mean, it obviously wouldn’t be the success it is without the scarcity factor thrown in. But taking that to the next level, what’s the deal with all the releases that no one wants, sitting around gathering dust until they’re marked down during the next Black Friday event? Why is some stuff pressed way under demand and other stuff - often times stuff no one is even asking for in the first place - pressed in abundance? Why not make everything a pain in the ass to acquire and change the name to Flipper Appreciation Day, which is only a few degrees from what it already is?
 
To my point, this past RSD I went to one of my favorite local shops around noon to see if a rare used arrival they posted on Instagram earlier that week was still available. They weren’t officially participating in RSD and had none of the exclusives, and when I walked in there was literally one other person flipping through the bins. Normally the place is pretty busy on a Saturday afternoon. How do shops like that feel about Record Store Day? Shouldn’t it be called Record Stores Who Buy Exclusives Offered And Distributed By The Coalition Of Independent Music Stores Day?
 
I’ll admit a lot of the points I’m making are a little tongue in cheek. I stand in line and buy exclusives like everyone else here, and I know the stores that do participate in the event have a great time, both with the day itself and with their bottom line. It just feels like as the “holiday” has grown in scale and popularity, the organizers are having a hard time staying true to their indie roots while catering to the larger shops and major labels, and a lot of fans are suffering in the end.
 
I may be completely wrong, but I just don’t think when the idea for RSD was originally being throw together, folks camping out the night before at Amoeba waiting to buy a 3” record player so they won’t have to shell out triple the retail price for it on eBay was what they had in mind.
