pushbacktosquare Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Ugh, whatever. I'm busting an all nighter with my dog. She's a puppy and could use some company, as could I. I called earlier yesterday and asked them what their system was for letting people in on RSD. Amoeba uses the popular... "let 10 people in at a time to not create such a hassle for people to get their records"... system. Fingerprints doesn't do this. Once doors open at 6 am, it's fair game.

adam19 Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Wow, I'm a little surprised by that but that should make for better stories, that's for sure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pushbacktosquare Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Wow, I'm a little surprised by that but that should make for better stories, that's for sure! Yeah, I kind of liked the Amoeba process better. Not so much the crowd / wait time. They also had this process where they would hand a list out to the line an hour and a half prior to when doors open. They would allow you to check off what you wanted. When they let the 10 people in at a time, your order would already be bagged at the register and ready to go. Hassle free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zacooper Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Screw it. I think I may head down there. At factory records right now for a 2am opening. Long beach is only another 40 from here. How's the line so far? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there is too many people then we will be let in through groups, otherwise it's free game. There are no Social Distortion LPs... I wanted that dammit!

As long as there are enough of the Mae - The Everglow 2xLP to go around, I'll be good. Should be there around 4 30 am if all goes as planned. May have to wake up the mrs a little earlier than planned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ifworkpermits Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 This line has been interesting so far. Hopefully they have more than 4 copies of particular records... And I really hope it's one per person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This really is a stupid idea overall. Why don't they have record store month or something and roll out releases over a long term period? I don't own a record store or anything but I can't imagine that one or two days out of the year being extremely busy is really THAT great.

Especially with albums like Everglow which should have a much larger pressing. But still, no reason to call someone a Bitch. And for the record, the copy we got sounds great, and is definately not on eBay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pushbacktosquare Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Relax, I didn't know she was your lady. My apologies. Just annoyed that's all, that was my main want. Never the less, I'll press my luck online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
