Do Rockaboom still take part in RSD? I heard a few years ago they'd stopped but it's listed on the RSD website as still being involved

Record Store Day today. 

 

Nothing on the list massively excited me this year, but I did end up getting the Blue Planet II double disk sound track. It's on transparent blue disks which looks pretty cool, and the sleeve will be a nice addition to my collection. Not what I would usually go for, but it is some beautiful music. 

I got the Who 'Kids Are Alright' (blue and red vinyl) - I aimed for this and got it.

Also got the Stones 'Satanic Majesties'.

[Dr Marco]

I got The Streets - B-sides and Remixes

and Phoenix - Monologue 7"

 

still looking for Ben Kweller-Sha Sha, Courteeners-St Jude and Bruce Springsteen-Greatest Hits

[MrsJohnMurphy]

Got the Stooges Detroit Edition 2LP

 

Also walked out with The Smiths Queen Is Dead box set, which wasn't part of RSD but I couldn't resist it (Daren't tell the missus how much it cost) 

[Dr Marco]

Vinyl reissues of the first Teenage Fanclub albums:

[MrsJohnMurphy]

Does anybody else buy online at Juno Records?

 

Just got an Iron and Wine triple LP, Wedding Present - Saturnalia double 10", Mercury Rev - The Light in Me Ltd white vinyl & Public Service Broadcasting - War Room all for less than £40.

 

Ordered Monday afternoon, delivered Tuesday

 

They seem to have a load of stuff for less than a tenner

[Chico1958]

I picked this up for 2 quid yesterday, Ive been looking for it for ages as it was one of my guilty pleasures back in the day. And yes it's not going to be everyone's cup of tea

 

This was the album that led to world domination in disco's before the arrival of all conquering punk arrived

 

It is quite good honest

I couldn't help myself when I saw this left over from Record Store Day.

 

The packaging even has an appropriate odour to it ?

There's a new record store in town in the Malcolm Arcade called Out Of Joint records. Really decent place actually with a nicely curated selection of records

hopefully they'll stick it out there but I dunno. rent there is disgusting from what I've been told and records will be the first thing out the window as people's spending money gets squeezed. 

 

is it just records that they're selling or have they got something else to bring up the spend / average receipt price? 

 

I've looked into opening a record shop and the worry is always the days where people come in, browse and don't take anything. you can't survive with people picking up the odd 12" for £8 every few hours.

There's clothing too. It's ran by a couple of lads from wellgosh/grade 10 records. It's definitely a niche selection of records so that could benefit it, no chart stuff/mainstream stuff. It's a really nice set up, feels like a proper record store and you can tell a lot has gone into the aesthetics in there. I hope it does well as I'd much rather get my records from there than on the web

Right I went in there on Saturday, Flicked through the racks and picked up the Deadly Avenger "I am Godzilla, you are Japan" album.

Anyway as I took it to the counter I noticed another album on the rack that I have been after for about 25 years, my heart stopped in excitement for a minuet and I went over to see how much, no price on it.

as this album is a completely different genre to all the others he was selling I thought that I might be able to get this a bit cheaper than the £60 price it has on Discogs (only from German sellers also).

put it on the counter with the other album and the owner looked at me a bit put out.

"Sorry mate I don't think I'm going to sell this one, My friends mum gave it to me and I've just seen how much it's worth."

He said that he's spoke to who gave it to him, and she still says He should have it. And the preceded to show me how good a condition it was in, and still had the inner sheet that came with it.

I was absolutely devastated, this was the first time I'd ever seen it since it's initial release in 1981

I didn't really want to say as I'm hoping that he'll come to his senses and put it up for sale.

But as I don't think I'll  be able to get there for a few weeks I might as well.

It was a compilation album on the S+T label called "where the hell is Leicester".

A friend of mine's band was on it call Future Toys, he was a few years older than us and the coolest kid in school.

 

Can't believe I was so close yet so far away.
