You know, the more I think about it, this doesn't really make sense; at least the way I think they want it to.

 

The flippers are actually supporting the indie record stores, are they not?

 

Maybe I'm overthinking it.

It's more directed toward people that start ebay stores a week or two before RSD, list a ton of exclusives and jack up the prices while using RSD's images from their website on the listings.  Although, flippers  can easily find other images on the web since a lot of it has been issued.

Called a few of my local stores to see if they could get the Cocteau Twins LPs in and the general consensus was basically "no". Does anyone know if any UK stores or distros sell leftover RSD stock online the day/week after? I seem to recall Banquet doing that but I can't remember for sure. That seems to be my only chance unless a friendly person on here is willing to try to snag them for me <3

Banquet usually put their leftover stock online the week after. Check their website for confirmation.

 

Discogs is worth checking on the day and directly after as stores sometimes sell on there at reasonable prices.

I was referring to the actual phrase itself.  You're not wrong though, I think it would've been hilarious to see "WATERMARK" going from bottom left to top right.

I just preordered this on Amazon, not realizing it was UK RSD release. Maybe we're just getting a regular release in the States: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00288AXSG

Yeah, UK exclusive. I was going to get it for a friend's wedding present. Now I'll just have to hope it doesn't get flipped for an astronomical amount.

Banquet puts all their leftovers up the following weekend so there's a good chance you can get it without paying flipper prices.

Not just Banquet - everyone. Good advice is to avoid Banquet if you can. Yes, they have a lot of stock, but the website grinds to a halt as soon as they go up and I believe (from experience) that they oversell and a lot of orders go unfulfilled. There will be a lot of other options for this - I strongly suspect it won't sell out.

 

BTW, for UK RSD regulars, Norman Records in Leeds are not allowed to particiapte this year as it's been deemed they aren't really a bricks and mortar store (which TBH is true). They hope to get some stock in for the online sales.

They usually go up at midnight on the following Friday, so the time difference does work out quite well for the US, but as has been said the popular sites will crash (at about I min past). It's always worth registering for a notification with Banquet however as they do re-stock some items. I remember a couple of years ago I wanted a particular item and bought it on ebay, only to receive a notification email from them a  couple of days later.

I've heard the Bowie promo release is going to be around £50+, yeesh.

Resident will be offering it at £49.99.

$52.97 at Bull Moose in the US so not much in it. Probably even less after Article 50 is triggered.

That sucks... It's a better Diamond Dogs-era live album than David Live IMO (the one time I heard it) but that's way too pricey. 

Local stores already have over-inflated prices for the Bowie reissues (I've had to buy from Amazon instead) so I can't imagine affording this. Maybe if there was nothing else to buy I'd splurge at this point.

There are only 2 releases that I'm really keeping an eye out for. What kinda sucks though is my local store always jacks up the prices of RSD releases. It's only about $5-10 more, but it still kinda sucks that they do that. I could take the hour drive to a better store and save the money, but it's much, much busier and I'dhave to show up almost a whole day early. People are nuts.
