Record Store Day 2015 (4/18/15)


Recommended Posts

I truly am confused, haha.  Pure Moods is a real comp, and their vinyl release announcement made it to other news sites claiming it was real....

 

Pure Moods is a real comp, but DG's vinyl release announcement was fake, just like this Gregorian Chant announcement is fake.

The last line is great. All the chants.

To the folks looking to help other VC folks out on RSD, I suggest finding one or two allies and handling communication via text on the day. Or, only buy things you know will be instant sell-outs and then just put them for grabs here.

Over the past few years I'd say I've purchased around 40 items for people in need on here. Around half of those people either found a copy locally or just flat-out didn't pay. It's almost never malicious, people just get wound up trying to secure a copy of something that they tend to over-commit.

Texting with a buddy or two is much easier and tends to be more mutually beneficial in my experience.

It says something about RSD that you can't tell the difference between a real announcement and a joke

 

Sad, but true. 

6,000 copies would be gone in a heartbeat, as long as it fashions a huge 'RSD EXCLUSIVE LIMITED ONE TIME ONLY VINYL EDITION'-sticker prominently.

I don't really get the "strategy" talk. A few of the local places here just let you send them a list in advance.

You show up and they hand you your stuff. Is that not a thing everywhere?

Sadly, no. My local store is basically a smash and grab on RSD. I hate it and have asked for the list method several times to no avail.
