Yeah, it has been a year or two since I’ve been. In the past they will usually have an item or two that is harder to come by (limited variant release, tri-color, etc.) The will usually have 3-10 each of that limited item, then just the standard variant of popular items. Sometimes those limited items are past record store day releases, so not that big of a deal either. So, to answer your question, if you want to go for something you can’t buy on the web store any day of the week, I would suggest being there early to queue.

billya Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 I went back when it was in Philly in like 2013. It was a cool novelty thing, but you kind of have to be just as excited to be at the RRS as you are to grab anything there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been three times, all in NYC. First was early days, for the Colbert single release. Got the tri-color and some exclusive truck-themed merch (exciting at the time). Second was for the Public Nuisance triple-deckers. Third was last week at Rough Trade. They didn’t seem to have any exclusives (nothing hyped on social media or truck signage, though possible they quietly had something that sold out). Probably why lines weren’t crazy. Swank mentioned before the show that they were selling a new Racs shirt, but think it was just the Classic “R” shirt they are also selling online. No other notable Racs stuff on the menu. Webstore is much better stocked for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will probably destroy mine just to see it in my hands. I took mine off this morning — it wasn't even glued on that strongly. There are obvious glue lines on the left and right hand sides of the cover but the two middle lines came off with nearly no damage. I love the alternate cover, I think it's super-clever.

It's the only thing that's making me almost regret not going with the Vault package. I got the Indie exclusive variant though, so I'm not too choked up about it.

Got a test press promo copy of Hey Gyp, De Stijl 2010 Repress on Red/White half and half (pretty rare) and the Cass Corridore Stooges S/T on Yellow with the screen printed cover at RT and White Stripes S/t on Red/White half and half (also very rare), 2009 Single series, and the Racontwoers live at third man on blue black split at Babys. I would say it was 100% worth it for those exclusives alone. The RRS swag is pretty cool too (grabbed a slipmat). fondfarewell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were not promoting any of that on truck signage, so I had no idea. Obviously paid off to stand in line and ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fondfarewell Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 So with the Racs going #1, does anyone here know how the “every ticket includes a copy of the album” business factors into that? Obviously they aren’t the only ones to do this, but do those copies juice sales numbers? Presumably thousands of copies were “sold” with tickets for the tour, with it being a duplicate copy for many ticket buyers (I personally have four copies of this album across Vault, Rough Trade and tickets). Just curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
