Record Store Day

Kim isn't like the usual SAME OLD OVERPRICED DAVID BOWIE TOOT "LIMITED" TO 50000 COPIES that they try to con everyone with every year :D
 
You're right I don't think they are on vinyl. Maybe I am underestimating the demand of Kim, even if it is remixes by Matt Pop and co.
 
I messaged Bending Sounds (my closest RSD participant) for you yesterday Shee luv and he said he sold his two copies very quickly. I was going to ask him to hold a couple over if he had them.

THANKS PETAL. It does seem to be one of this year's GENUINE holy grails.

@FetchFugly - I presumed she'd be the same sort of level as the Belinda Remixes album a couple of years ago and I found that easily enough...
 
I also do think that silly ebay price over the weekend has had a dramatic effect- no shop that knows that is going to list one at face value, are they? They'll surely hold on and see if they can punt it out at a much higher price...
 
Interestingly, I've been keeping an eye on the Discogs sale page for Kim to see if there was any movement there when 8pm came. Not seen a UK listing all night, but all the US copies I mentioned have now gone- there were 7 copies for sale earlier today and a few have been listed as well but the only one left is a vastly overpriced Australian copy. I guess people were waiting for the 8pm online tussle to see if they could get one before shelling their cash out.
 
Having said that, they’ve just let me add 10 copies to my basket, so I’m not entirely convinced :D

Interestingly I've just been looking at other stuff a friend asked me to keep an eye out for, and that's listed as collect in store only, not available by mail order. So 🤞

Kim was earlier- they changed it, but if you look, the stock says zero and it’s still letting you order. I expect I’ll be getting a “sorry can’t fulfil” email but thanks nonetheless for your good vibes!
 
@Sheena I had no luck with Kim either apart from the same site you got yours from, I suspect they haven’t put a quantity on their database and they don’t actually have any in stock. If I do get it and you don’t, you can have mine.

There’s obviously demand for it so I would not be surprised if a few months down the line they release it as a non-RSD version, they’d be silly to miss out on the sales.
 
I managed to get the Delia Derbyshire box set from Resident at 8pm. Their website went down within a minute but I got there in the end. Long time since I've seen someone issue a vinyl box set and then do the CD edition for RSD but there you go. A pal got the Fall LP from there too but I already have the CD of that and I don't want to encourage such behaviour.
 
The 2025 list is out, maybe a new thread would be better but posting it here for now.


I’ve only had a FLEETING browse but Neon Nights Remixed (limited to 1000), Youthquake remixes and Alison Moyet’s ‘Hometime’ stood out.
 
Dannii, Dead or Alive, Kim, maybe Prince for me.
 
I am most interested in the Kim, Sam Fender and Rachel Chinouriri EPs.

And possibly the Suede b-sides comp, if only for them tacking on a new song.
 
Absolutely HOOTING at the Metal Machine Music reissue. Absolute pisstake.

Fuck them for doing that. Inveterate recycling is one thing but that's mean. Or, at least it would be were it not for the inevitable pleb edition which will be announced the day after RSD and will probably have more stuff.

I know... There is one other song I don't have physically, Manipulation (hmm), a The Blue Hour vinyl bonus, released digitally today.
 
This year's Fall release is being roundly mocked too - they're claiming to have put "The Real New Fall LP" into its intended running order for the first time. This running order was printed on the labels of the record but was incorrect - the actual album followed the CD running order. So, to try and squeeze a few more quid out of us, they;re pressing this incorrect tracklisting - that was described at the time as a production error - as the 'original intention', which it wasn't, it was the last draft before the final order was decided. As they said in Medieval times: gettest thou to fucke.
 
Going to buy Jamie T’s Carry On The Grudge because its being repressed and it was the first album Ron Jr really got into. I have fond memories of us all driving around the hills of ibiza in our car and singing it full blast 💚
 
Banquet records have some prices up and I just flicked through a bunch going "I'm not fucking paying THAT". £18 for that Charli 7"!
 
The man who owns the shop I’ll be using has put his list of what he’s got in up and Dannii, Kim and Dead Or Alive are all on it. Middle aged gay panic attack incoming.
 
I’m now in London at a wedding so fuck trying for anything there. I’ll have to see if I can find owt online later. 😞
 
The emporium I would be using has put prices up and they are actually Quite Reasonable. I'll need to talk myself out of it tho'. Nice stuff needs to be patched - necessary stuff only.
 
Should anyone see a spare Dannii, Kim or Dead or Alive Youthquake remixes tomorrow, I’d be forever grateful. I’m at a wedding so not really around, though I might try and sneak to a London shop, but I don’t hold much hope :(

(Good for the cash, etc etc. Payment in kind considered).
