04.20.13 | Sweet buys, Jamie. |
JamieTwort
04.20.13 | Cheers man, yeah I was pretty pleased to find all these. Well worth queuing for an hour. |
NightProwler
04.20.13 | Wow, some really great buys indeed! Congrats! I'm very jealous.
I unfortunately have to work today, so I can't attend this year. But last night, as I was two hours away from attending a concert, my friend and I saw light inside an independent record store. We went over there, and they let us in (they were putting up all the new vinyls for the following day's occasion). We were both kinda drunk, and started talking about every kind of music, whatever we saw in there. After having discussed music for an hour and a half with them, they gav us some merchandise for free, and let me buy a copy of "Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King" on vinyl (which is extremely rare here in Denmark; I can't even find a copy of it on CD). So I did, in some way, attend the Record Store Day before hand. |
JamieTwort
04.20.13 | Nice, that was cool of them to let you in. |
Storm In A Teacup
04.20.13 | yeah I'd say that counts.
really hope I get that boysetsfire 7" that's all I hope for then a surprise or two |
NightProwler
04.20.13 | It really was. Also, there's just something unbelievably charming about independent record stores. Glad you found something good! |
JamieTwort
04.20.13 | "there's just something unbelievably charming about independent record stores."
Agreed. Just wish there was more near me. |
Storm In A Teacup
04.20.13 | How much money for those 4? |
NightProwler
04.20.13 | I have about 2 or 3 nearby, a few miles away at least, and we have a chain/franchise called "Accord" that sells old vinyls, so there're some to choose from, luckily |
JamieTwort
04.20.13 | @Storm: £53 (sorry you'll have to convert, unless you're British). 4 was the most expensive at £17. |
JamieTwort
04.20.13 | @Night: That's good, here there's really only one really good independant record/CD store (the one I got these from) and that's it. Luckily though there's a record/CD collectors fair quite local to me that's on once a month, which is pretty good. |
NightProwler
04.20.13 | Oh yeah, you've mentioned that one before. I'd love for us to have one in this city too, but oh well |
Storm In A Teacup
04.20.13 | Okay cool beans. I'm stopping by 3 places in the next couple hours. Gonna go to Blue Moon Discs first, which I've never been to that's apparently been here as long as I have (23 years). |

JamieTwort
04.20.13 | Whoa Ali, and I thought I spent a lot.
Nice, Snox. |
Storm In A Teacup
04.20.13 | I have $380 (291 Euro) in my wallet, but uh...not trying to spend anywhere near that.
At least I don't want to but I'm a compulsive music buyer |
WolvesInTheWalls
04.20.13 | I went into another record store afterwards and was really fucking tempted to spend another $100, but I resisted and ran out crying and laughing |
anarchistfish
04.20.13 | I only spent £32 loool but I didn't manage to get anythin I specifically wanted |
JamieTwort
04.20.13 | There was a couple of other things I was tempted with but they were too expensive. the Cream box set looked sweet but I wasn't gonna pay £65 for it. |
WolvesInTheWalls
04.20.13 | I paid $50 for two copies of the same album and then was about to buy an At The Drive-In album, an Autechre album and I was tempted to grab that limited edition Nick Cave single as well but I just couldn't do it. I need my money for food and Boris concerts. |
anarchistfish
04.20.13 | why buy two copies? |
JamieTwort
04.20.13 | At the store I went to you weren't aloud to buy more than one copy of the same thing.
I've already seen some of the stuff I got up for sale on ebay going for like triple the price. |
WolvesInTheWalls
04.20.13 | limited edition copies with new artwork, 25 copies of each made. I didn't know which one I wanted and they were selling fast so I just grabbed both. |
anarchistfish
04.20.13 | sweet so someone else can have none cool |
WolvesInTheWalls
04.20.13 | lol the label packed both editions together and only printed 25 copies of each for the sole purpose of die hard fans owning limited edition copies for themselves. It's not my fault other people didn't get to the store two hours before it opened just to get their copy. |
anarchistfish
04.20.13 | what the fuck does that have to do with it? |
WolvesInTheWalls
04.20.13 | it means that the record was deliberately printed in a small quantity and packed together in bags with both versions for the sole purpose of die-hard fans buying both versions of the album. If people wanted it, they had to get there early to purchase it. I was one of those people. If somebody else wanted to get their copy, they would have come early to secure one. Me buying two has nothing to do with it, the store was deliberately selling them in twos because, you know, curio items are cool. |
anarchistfish
04.20.13 | You've already said they were selling out quickly, so you're admitting that there would have been people that also came early to get a copy. And it's irrelevant if the intention was for them to be a collectable, the fact that labels do that pisses most people off cos no doubt people will lose out and taking 2 for yourself out of an already limited supply just makes that worse. Some people actually like vinyl for the vinyl, you know. |
WolvesInTheWalls
04.20.13 | If they wanted it just for the vinyl, then there were several copies of the regular edition in store. It's not uncommon for fans to buy multiple versions of limited edition albums, you know. It's what collectors do. Sorry if I hit a nerve, bro, but I have no remorse. ruthless. |
mursu
04.20.13 | I forgot that it was a the Record store day and I just accidentally decided to visit a record store while we were visiting a shopping center with my family. I bought Oceansize's Home & Minor EP and I'm pretty happy because of that. |
anarchistfish
04.20.13 | It's still selfish to take two for yourself and thereby deny someone else one. Doesn't matter if it's not uncommon for people to buy multiple copies. |
clercqie
04.20.13 | My grabs:
Brian Eno x Nicolas Jaar x Grizzly Bear 12"
Jamie XX remixes 12"
Kurt Vile - Smoke Ring For My Halo
Kurt Vile - Wakin On A Pretty Daze
Circle Jerks - Group Sex
Very happy with it, although it sucks no record store in town had the Relationship of command reissue. |
WolvesInTheWalls
04.20.13 | "It's still selfish to take two for yourself and thereby deny someone else one. Doesn't matter if it's not uncommon for people to buy multiple copies"
Then I'm selfish! I don't care. Nearly everyone in the store bought two copies. I'm a selfish fuck and I couldn't be happier. |
JamieTwort
04.20.13 | "i dont do record store day cause the good shit's still expensive
lower de prices!"
Yeah I don't usually do it either for that reason but this year there was a few things I really wanted. |
anarchistfish
04.20.13 | Just don't be a hypocrite when someone fucks you over in the future |
WolvesInTheWalls
04.20.13 | People have "fucked me over" several times. I'm not a whiny little bitch just because I didn't get something in time. The early bird gets the worm, my friend. There are many things I've missed out on because I came too late and this wasn't one of them. I don't blame other people for buying multiple editions of things, because I know if I had the cash and the time I'd do the exact same thing. |
JamieTwort
04.20.13 | I'd be pretty pissed if I saw someone buying the last 2 copies of something I really wanted but I guess I can understand people doing it when they're slightly different collectors editions. I still wouldn't buy 2 though personally. |
anarchistfish
04.20.13 | It's ok it just means people will treat him like a dick |
WolvesInTheWalls
04.20.13 | It was crowded and tense and hectic and I didn't have time to decide which one I wanted more so I bought both. No regrets. The only time I get angry about things like this is if it's just some douche who buys all the copies of a certain limited edition item and then sells them on ebay at an inflated price just because they're a greedy cunt. |
WolvesInTheWalls
04.20.13 | "It's ok it just means people will treat him like a dick"
lol not really, everyone was really friendly. Not everyone can be a dick like you, man. |

04.20.13 | "Not everyone can be a dick like you, man."
I'm not being a dick, I'm just explaining to you how you're a selfish little shit. I haven't done anything to be a dick, cos I wouldn't take two copies of something that other people want too. |
WolvesInTheWalls
04.20.13 | Yes, I am a selfish entitled cunt who wanted two copies of the album. I admit that. And I really don't know why you're being such a douche about it. Everybody else in the store was just as much of a selfish little shit as I was, and those who got in too late to purchase a copy were probably angry, disappointed, sad, but you know what? I don't really give a fuck. I care about me. I got what I wanted. Now I'm gonna indulge in my exuberant lifestyle, eat, drink and think about how fucking content I am with my materialistic obsessions. And you can still sit here talking about how much of a dick I am. |
Storm In A Teacup
04.20.13 | uhhh I just spent over 25o dollars I lost it so much great stuff |
JamieTwort

JamieTwort
04.20.13 | Jamming 3, the new mix of Teacher is sweet. |
WolvesInTheWalls
04.20.13 | yeah fish is right i have no friends because I used sarcasm on sputnik.
and I haven't listened to 3, is it good? only tull I've jammed is aqualung (don't kill me) |
JamieTwort
04.20.13 | Yeah it rules but it's not exactly essential as it's just an EP featuring 4 singles. A must have for a Tull fanboy like me though. You should really check out Thick as a Brick bro. |
manosg
04.20.13 | In danger of being roasted, I have to admit it's the first time I'm hearing about the Record Store Day. Maybe it has to do with the fact that there's no record store in a radius of 40-50 kms to where I live but it's a cool day. I can see that there is a great Big Mama Thornton and a ZZ Top release that would interest me. Maybe next year... |
JamieTwort
04.20.13 | @manosg: This is actually the first time I've visited a store for record store day. Definitely gonna go again next time if I can.

Atari
04.20.13 | cool bro do you know where i might be able to hear the jethro tull EP or is it pretty rare? |
ConorIsNotHere
04.20.13 | I got 1 as well! :D |
Blackbelt54
04.20.13 | I wanted Relationship of Command, but the store I went to was all out. I saw the Titus Andronicus Record Store Day record, but it was like $14, and only 3 songs, one of which is off Local Business, so I didn't get that. However, I did score Liquid Swords limited edition clear blue vinyl. |
JamieTwort
04.20.13 | @Atari: I'm guessing it'll be pretty hard to find as it was only available for the day. I've already seen copies on ebay going for triple the price I paid. You should be able to find some sort of version of each track on youtube as they were all singles from their early days. The tracklist is as follows: Living in the Past, Witch's Promise, Teacher, Life's a Long Song. |
JamieTwort
04.20.13 | "I got 1 as well! :D"
Sweet. I got the last copy in the store so I was pretty lucky, especially seeing as I heard people in the queue behind me talking about it. |
lauriej
04.21.13 | got 2 and 3, as well as the emerson lake and palmer 7" and the oldfield 7"... went in hoping to get nicolas jaar remixes of grizzly bear and brian eno, left with 4 prog 7"ers |
heyadam
04.21.13 | I got The Anatomy of by btbam, the Manchester Orch/Frightened Rabbit/Grouplove split and Cudi's first MotM album. It was a really good time! |
JamieTwort
04.21.13 | "got 2 and 3, as well as the emerson lake and palmer 7" and the oldfield 7"... went in hoping to get nicolas jaar remixes of grizzly bear and brian eno, left with 4 prog 7"ers"
Sweet. I couldn't see the Mike Oldfield 7" otherwise I might have got it. I considerred getting the ELP one. |

illmitch
04.21.13 | probably more embarrassing than owning their discography tbh |
ILJ
04.21.13 | but i don't have pink floyd's discog |
JamieTwort
04.21.13 | What was the big one you were hoping for, ILJ? |
ILJ
04.21.13 | Relationship of Command reissue. a bit gutted i couldn't find it, but you win some you lose some |
JamieTwort
04.21.13 | Oh right. Yep, that's the way it goes. |
Atari
04.21.13 | just saw your comment about the jethro tull EP. thanks man i'll see if i can find the individual tracks later |
