Record Store Day 2012 (April 21st)

[cutterbutter]

My store had like 10 extra sitting on the shelf like an hour ago but they were being really strict about 1 per customer on all items. The colored vinyl is fucking wacko. Totally random and insane. Keep looking!

[cutterbutter]

to this


And mine looks nothing like either of the above.

[IceyHotshot]

If anyone gets an extra and wants to help me out, I'd be super super grateful. If I don't get one it's my fault for sleeping on it though.

[cutterbutter]

Uhh, I'll see if a family member/friend is going by there on the way tonight and can grab one. I feel bad breaking their 1 per customer rule since they were so nice to me today helping out. Or tomorrow I can check when I'm to SB. I'll PM you!

[IceyHotshot]

Thanks cutter!

[shakermaker113]

argh. several of you go the gorillaz. :-( that was top of my list, and I couldn't find a copy at amoeba.

I saw several copies of the sigur ros, but didn't buy it. that album was not good. I can't believe what people are paying for it.

that flaming lips record takes the cake though. wow.

[IceyHotshot]

that flaming lips record takes the cake though. wow.

One of the best releases so far this year, IMO. Cutter's going to check a store near him tomorrow, and I'm going to call Amoeba in the morning and see if they still have it. Here's hoping...

[cutterbutter]

I remember last year amoeba and origami I'm gonna say were restocking all weekend if they found something.

[shakermaker113]

apparently there are two versions of the flaming lips record.

For all of us who bought The Flaming Lips and Heady Fwends today (yesterday), there are apparently two different versions of the track “2012 (You Must Be Upgraded)”. One version contains a Doctor Who sample, and the other version has Henry Rollins recreating that sample.

According to Discogs, the only way you can tell which version you have is to check the deadwax on the first side. The Doctor Who sample version will have “YOU MUST BE UPGRADED. THANK YOU DOCTOR WHO!!!” etched into the deadwax, whereas the Henry Rollins version will say “YOU AND ME WE KNOW THAT LOVE IS TRUE”. If Discogs is telling the truth, then I have the Doctor Who sample version.

Fuck. I knew I should have bought The Flaming Lips release. It was 40 bucks though, and that would have meant I would have had to put back a few of the other releases I bought... Dammit. oh well.

[rage patton]

Then I look at this, and all of my worries and regrets go away...

Thank you!

[send me ctrpllrs]

Hmm... wonder how many copies they are getting. Says 44 sold aready.

[greghead]

Andrew, I dropped by Amoeba today and was going to snag you the Little Richard and Mississippi John Hurt records, but they're all gone. Sorry, dude.

I did pick up the Carolina Chocolate Drops/Run DMC split today and the disc is mislabeled (RUN DMC playing on Chocolate Drops side, vice versa), anyone else encounter this?

[Footsteps86]

Record Store Day on Facebook said all of the Carolina Chocolate Drops/Run DMC records were mislabeled.

[greghead]

Ah, I did not see that. Thanks.

By the way, where in Chandler do you live? I lived at Alma School & Elliott for the better part of 25 years.

[Footsteps86]

Ray & Rural. I've lived in the same 5 mile radius in Chandler for all 25 years of my life.

[greghead]

Oh cool, we were neighbors. I was born in Dobson Ranch (Alma & Medina), moved to Alma & Elliott in '87 when I was 4. After college at NAU I moved in with some buddies at Warner & Price before moving to CA for grad school. Same 5-mile radius as well.

[LickTheLizzard]

Cooper and Ray. Yeah Chandler!

[greghead]

Hell yeah! Represent.

Thanks for posting this; I bought one this afternoon.

[sbessiso]

So upset I missed the Gorillaz 10". Never even saw one at amoeba!

[PassiveTheory]

Neither Santa Cruz record store had the Smiths posters they were supposed to have. =/

No worries, thanks for looking. I'll buy em online.

[LickTheLizzard]

The guys selling the Heady Fwends records on eBay at face value didn't end up having as many copies of the record as he thought. He ended up having to back out of the sale.

[shakermaker113]

when I first tried to order the DFA vinyl on saturday the site was breaking. I sent them an email. I tried again later and and got through ok.

monday they responded to my email ackolwedging the problems they encountered, indicating that they were trying hard to find another copy for me. I saved them the trouble by telling them I got an order in, but I was impressed they were going to make such an effort.

kudos to kill the 8.
