so less than a month to go now - thoughts? 

anything you're looking forward to or would recommend putting on the short list?

 

believe it or not I'm eyeing off - Rockabye Baby! Lullabye Renditions of The Beastie Boys

Rockabye Baby gets lots of air play with our new 4 month old lad

I don't get any of the RSD unique releases.

I have visited Dixon's Recycled, who have 20% off all items on the day.

[Ian McP 5,553]

Record Store Day is great for in store performances, if in Melbourne, all these are worth visiting, not hard to get to them by tram.

No doubt they'll be bands at:

Basement Discs

Greville Records

Off The Hip Records

Northside Records

Rathdowne Records

extensive shop listings see

I'll probably head into brisbane cbd to visit Rocking Horse, but i get the feeling it could be crazy busy in there so the couple in the valley are options on the way home

 

[Piko 103]

Arcade Fire - First EP, first time on vinyl

L7 - Fast & Frightening

Various Artists - Hillbillies In Hell: Volume 666 (Country Music's Tormented Testament: 1952- 1974) and The Beginning Of The End: The Existential Psychodrama In Country Music (1956-1974)

Lou Reed and Kristofferson...

Jeff Buckley Live....

The National - Boxer (live in brussels)

Ben Kweller - Sha Sha

i listened to some of the jeff buckley, not usually my preference but its strong and intimate for just a dude and 6 strings. 

4 disks is a bit too much for me 

[t_mike 8,234]

I by far prefer his father Tim Buckley. Greetings from L.A. is a great album. Maybe I need to spin it sometime soon.

Sorry man, but Jeff's Grace kills it...   {fight fight fight}

[Stump 3,567]

I was lucky last year and picked up what I wanted.Will try my local for these 2...

~ Welcome To The Blackout (Live London '78) - 3 x LP unreleased live set

~ Let’s Dance (Full-length) - 12” single featuring full length version of the demo and live version

[cafe67 3,983]

David Sylvia's has the remastered double lp version of dead bees on a cake with extra tracks as he originally wanted alas uk only 

[Piko 103]

Yeah I've decided i'm not going to buy any 4+ LP sets.  Need budget for everything else I want!

[wasabijim 699]

I've got about 5 on my shortlist with a few more to sample/audition to make up my mind

 is there a way to figure out if it will be available here? I don't want to be dooking it out with the hoards for something not even in the country...

Oh. ..... Tumbleweed.   Is that the guys from Wollongong? That must be AU only if it is  ?

 

RSD  has come here for the first time  as our only seller now has a proper shop.  It's become a definite occasion with all sorts going on. There won't be a lot of RSD  releases cos he doesn't want to be stuck with a lot of obscure expensive stuff. 

 

I'll pick up Cymande - Promised Heights. 

Was interested in the Pink Floyd mono but it won't be here and costs too much.  Keen for it to get a standard release.

[Piko 103]

Yah Australian release.  Also Jebediah - Slightly Oddway.  

 

There usually are a few regional specific releases.

 

Also a few of the lesser popular record stores around Brisbane aren't taking part in special RSD releases from any majors as they want them to buy more than just one or two.  So yeah.  Only the big indies shops with high turnover seem to have the fun with a barrage of special releases.

Ahh so you are the one that lined up and got the Bowie

[cafe67 3,983]

My contribution to RSD.  Don't think it was an official RSD thingy , tho haven't seen this version before , got at Urban Records. I checked out Diabolik Records which was a mad house but could find anything I wanted. 

 

As as an aside some of prices for RSD releases were out there.

Wouldn't mind a source for the Floyd in Aust to avoid import ripoffs and postage.  How much is it here now anyway  ?

It wasn't a RSD release. It went on sale a week or so before, but pretty much sold out from pre-orders. A few made it to various stores around the world, most of which were damaged due to quite fragile packaging. The store I got it from ordered 10 of which 1 survived.

Thanks.  More than I want to pay.

Yep, only $25 in America

 

Still definitely cheaper than get a nice original mono copy.

I really wanted the Sigur Ros and Jeff Buckley but nowhere to be seen by the time I got to the largest record store in Auckland.  

[dimo 174]

Sigur Ros was very limited, only 1 of the stores I visited actually had a copy of all 4 to begin with. Buckley also seemed to be quite limited but the price tag seemed to deter people.

[Citroen 6,363]

Out of interest how much was the Buckley? It seemed to be listed for about USD45 or GBP45

 

So in AU dollars, $120?

If only I could get it for only $125!

Yeah I saw that.  Add exchange rate and postage, even from UK/EU, and it's too much for me. 

I have to pay post even on the Aussie ones so it's about the same cost. 

I've got two stereos.  Mono is an interesting thing but as an experience not a 'collectable '
