I need FEVER vinyl in my life
RSD has jumped the shark. A lot of retailers found a relative lack of enthusiasm this year. The absence of some traditional big-hitters was blamed by some (ie no Bowie, who usually has more than one title and brings the punters) as well as the poor quality of some of the products i.e. no audiophile wants picture discs, outtakes that have been on CD for 20+ years on vinyl 'for the first time!' (big fucking whoop) etc etc. I mean, The Residents' entry this year was actually called 'Leftovers' and had a pic of mouldy food on the cover, arranged to look like the classic logo. A bit on the nose.
Well now that my standard vinyl order has shipped they announce a colour variant. Great!I'm definitely getting the pink version of Garbage. I missed it last time it was reissued (and now it goes for silly money), and its annoyed me I don't have it in my collection EVER SINCE!
So how is this national album day thing going to happen? I can't be bothered to look. Ugh it'll be a total nightmare getting Fever won't it..
Oh for FUCK's sake!You can pre-order most of them online from most shops now, so I don't think it's going to be as BONKERS as Record Store Day for the stuff people actually want > https://www.resident-music.com/collection&path=39829
...this seems to be aside from Kylie's Fever which appears to be on the day only
Yes, I’m just about to spend £70 on Primitives reissues that I just bought on cd reissue.Labels are absolutely cottoning on to the huge resale market of vinyl at the moment aren't they?
This week Sugababes and The Knife have cleared me out for about 70£+ for the reissues of One Touch and Silent Shout once shipping is factored in. I wouldn't normally INDULGE £35ish (including shipping) on a vinyl unless it was uber-special, unfortunately for me they are both KEY ALBUMS for my collection
Another example is the new Billie Eilish album priced at about 40£ish out the gate, and the PJ Harvey reissues have crept up from about £17.99 each standard to about 20.99-27.99 depending where you are looking online
I genuinely struggle to keep track. I THINK I've got ordered all of them, then suddenly have a panic and have to check again. And it's low twenties.I can't even remember how many VOYAGE copies I've ordered at this point ugh.
The last couple I’ve been to I’ve went to my family hometown rather than here in the city and the whole thing seems more in the spirit of things there still, I’ve always found what I wanted. I asked him to get in Skunk Anansie, Carina Round and Madonna and he’s confirmed they’ve arrived. Hopefully I can get my hands on them.I'm definitely going to be there but I just know it'll be the usual shit with none of what I want available in store and yet already on Discogs and eBay for extortionate prices
