birdwell Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 i have a feeling that a lot more than 2% of RSD participants have crosleys that can play 78's. Im glad you're so blissfully optimistic...do you yourself have the means to play 78rpm records? Quick show of hands just in this thread.

I think half the people on this board probably have crosleys. Whether they will admit it or if it's even their main player, may be another story.

dreamover Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Don't worry, if someone needs to find a turntable that plays 78's, you can always pick up one of these bad boys. darkforest71 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like a portable vinyl player. I can lay my records out on the ground and play them while I cut the grass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

birdwell Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 I think half the people on this board probably have crosleys. Whether they will admit it or if it's even their main player, may be another story. My point exactly.....that isn't isolated to this board alone. The overwhelming majority of people picking up this Elvis release will not have the ability to play it. I do not have the ability to play 78 rpm records anymore. I wish I had a nice restored Victrola to play classical (and classic country) 78's. But that dream is quite a ways off. I'm admittedly not a fan nor an admirer of Elvis Presley (and not a huge fan of Jack White) but that doesn't play into my opinion on this release. If this were a completely unreleased and newly uncovered batch of Elvis songs I'd have little issue with it. It's just a replica of Jack White's copy of this record that he bought at an auction. It's a neat piece of musical history to have back in print, I understand that, but dishing out this amount of money for this piece that won't be played by the majority of fans that purchase it seems like a really really really big cash grab to me.

mychemicalrecords Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 I was wondering if anyone knows of any good record stores in the San Diego, mostly northern San Diego area? Not just for RSD, but in general. The record stores near me aren't that great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if people could play it most people here would probably keep it sealed with everything else they are on RsD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psus2h Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 My only RSD purchase this year will be online, the pearl jam mystery vinyl sale. Good luck on Saturday everyone, all I want is Déjà, I have a copy on order from TCR. Give it hell kids! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a cool piece of history that a lot of people may never play. It's not a brand new record that someone is getting to put on their wall, I think this as a display piece is perfectly acceptable. The 7" that'll be widely available and remastered will be out later this year for people that are bummed about not being able to listen to it. TMR kinda has both interested parties covered. The collectors that want a close replica in its original form, and people who want an updated, remastered, 7" to listen to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutchflowers Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Im glad you're so blissfully optimistic...do you yourself have the means to play 78rpm records? Quick show of hands just in this thread. I can. Not saying I have the want or desire too though... The AT-LP120 plays records at 33, 45 & 78. Its a common record player that is widely available.

Its a common record player that is widely available. Actually the AT-LP120 is consistently out of stock and on back order. We sell out of them almost immediately when we get them back in stock from Audio Technica To the kid saying people will keep them sealed, best of luck as it's an exact replica of an old '78....brown paper sleeve only, no jacket Agreed it's a better show piece than a copy of Deja Entendu that somebody is capable of playing but chooses to hang on their wall instead DecayToDeath and simonsj 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoneyFrosted Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 After weeks of 'Yeah I don't think I'm going this year, I took the day off. So now I'm trawling, finding all info I can. I saw the initial blogspot list and was not thrilled, and now I'm getting the spark. ...I want that Power Glove. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fondfarewell Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Has anyone here done RSD in New York? Is anywhere worth bothering with if I'm not camping out? I passed by Other Music last year mid-afternoon and the line was around the block. Nooooope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsgoodtobefree Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Somehow i missed the fact that Steve Reich's Music for 18 Musicians is getting reissued for RSD.... Adding that to my list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vector53 Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 If anyone's going to RSD at Amoeba or Origami, it sounds like that Blur is going to be giving away the 7" for free if you present your receipt and say "The Magic Whip" to them. I'm really hoping I'm not asking much from you guys but if any of you LA people are free from 12:30pm at Origami or 2:00pm at Amoeba and can get one for me, I'll send a little cashmoney your way for your troubles. I was wondering if anyone knows of any good record stores in the San Diego, mostly northern San Diego area? Not just for RSD, but in general. The record stores near me aren't that great. I would recommend Lou's Records in Encinitas, Spin Records in Carlsbad, Standards Records in Vista for more punk stuff, or the M-Theory place in Del Mar.

kramer73 Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 The packaging for the Foo Fighters 10" of demos is actually pretty rad....whether or not it's worth the price, I dunno...but I think the packaging is really rad It doesn't sound like my store is getting any of those. Which sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
