eight1echo Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 10 copies in one city of a /900 Box Set does not seem low at all. FailureByDesign 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brillwill Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 except that Austin, TX is one of the biggest music oriented cities in America, but I digress. San Antonio received no cake box sets at all and it's the 7th largest city in America FWIW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are 16 stores within 15 miles of Philadelphia. Now multiply that by however many metro areas across the country and there's gonna be some thin spread going on for some titles. It's just part of the RSD thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brillwill Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 It still seems very low, don't you think? Amoeba got <5 copies and it's one of the most renowned and biggest record stores in the world. This is going to be the largest RSD yet, with tons more people looking to score vinyl than ever before. I understand the deal with limited releases, but this seems a bit absurd. Was the Beck Pink Sea Change similar in distribution when it came out several years ago? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domiendr Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Funny, I was at my record store today and picked up a Battery - Whatever it Takes LP. I saw some stuff I asked him to order for me from the RSD list and asked him if he could sell things from RSD allready. He said and I've to wait till tomorrow. He and I didn't know that Battery LP was for RSD I think. But Far Cry - Blood Dragon and JayZ/LP are waiting for me. That Far Cry looked very good btw! I'm from Belgium too and couldnt find any far cry ost on the lists I got send by some stores. Which store do you visit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eight1echo Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Amoeba shouldn't get more than 5 if it means another store somewhere else gets 0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyfranciosa Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 yeah, I mean it's a tough spot for sure. Amoeba's going to get a ton of traffic, but it doesn't seem fair to short change a store in say Nebraska that might get 1/10th of the customers. People there might want that release as much as anyone in LA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkhaytman Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Anyone gonna be at Radioactive in Ft. Lauderdale? I'll be lonely I'll be there, probably 7:30-8 depending on when i can drag my ass out of bed. Today is my birthday but I kinda want to get to bed early so I'm ready for RSD :\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uniquemel0dy Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 I guess I'm spoiled from the earlier RSD's. More stores, more people now a days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetsfan4ever80 Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Amoeba shouldn't get more than 5 if it means another store somewhere else gets 0. Not that I'm looking for it, but my local store got 0 copies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domiendr Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 It wasn't on the lists. He ordered it from another source. Not gonna tell you my store yet before you claim my copy Ah no problem. Will be checking Antwerp and Leuven only if its not there I will cry :'( . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Family Friendly Rap God Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 I'm making myself an RSD cheat sheet with all the releases I want, the format they are being released in, the expected price, and the release cover art (so I can quickly spot what I'm looking for) I was thinking the same thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Family Friendly Rap God Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 i called all the shops in austin TX. Less than a total of 10 copies of the cake box for the entire city. Paranorman is numbering below 20 copies total as well, and mondo is located in ATX. Going to be a lot of disappointed RSDers tomorrow That's crazy! My store here in Charleston posted a pic of 2 of them on their Instagram Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratbrain Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 anyone lining up at Amoeba Hollywood? trying to decide how early to get there... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domiendr Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Mechelen? The Vinyl Touch maybe? I think that's a hint but can't go there because I have limited time and have stuff reserved in Antwerp and Leuven and don't have a driver's license so it's going to be via trains and that's expensive. Maybe If these places don't have em I can snag one afterwards, people here are probably oblivious of what it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emokid9963 Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 That's crazy! My store here in Charleston posted a pic of 2 of them on their Instagram I think my store got 13. Or something crazy like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpazzyMcGee Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 I'll be in a Polyvinyl hat if you see me. Are you in the area at the moment? I won't be able to make it until around 10pm. woah! you're getting there tonight? I won't be there till around 6am tomorrow to get a good spot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uniquemel0dy Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 woah! you're getting there tonight? I won't be there till around 6am tomorrow to get a good spot I'm judging is by this weather. Originally it was supposed to be nice on Saturday, and now it looks like it will be rainy and windy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RexDarr Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 I heard something about Jack White recording a record and having it printed and shipped on Record Store Day. Can anyone confirm? Details? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obliriovrons Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 I heard something about Jack White recording a record and having it printed and shipped on Record Store Day. Can anyone confirm? Details? He's doing a live performance of his new single at Third Man Records, recording it, and having it pressed immediately after, but the "shipped" part of what you said is inaccurate. You have to physically be at the Nashville store to get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
