[Micodin]

Awesome good looks!

I always hit up Record Store Day first thing in the AM.

Hot me a Mike D. turntable slip-mat last year!

[Laver1969]

Excellent...Just marked the calendar!

[pesto pizza]

Excellent...Just marked the calendar!

i can't find any date

[stoffel79]

i can't find any date
seriously?
i don't think they can put it that much bigger on the site

[Ty Webb]

good shit. mastodon reissue also.

[RobMoney$]

Speculation on what the "Super Suprise" is?

I'm guessing a remix of some of the upcoming new album tracks.

[pshabi]

So lemme get this str8? You gotta find a store in your area and hope they have 1 / 1,000 of these shits?

[Laver1969]

So lemme get this str8? You gotta find a store in your area and hope they have 1 / 1,000 of these shits?

I just plugged in my state and up popped a whole bunch of stores. I'm assuming there only a couple of hundred record stores participating so each store will get a few copies of the 1000 shits.

I'll agree with the $Rob$ and say it's a remix of one of the album cuts. That sounds like the most predictable shit.

[RobMoney$]

"And if something is limited, we've listed that here as well. And yeah, most Record Store Day releases are limited. And some of them are super-CRAZY limited. Also, we don't tell a store what to bring in, nor do we sell the pieces ourselves. That is a relationship between store and distributor, and not all stores will have all pieces, and there are probably going to be some pieces that no store has enough of. That's what limited releases are all about. So talk to your favorite store: find out what they will have, tell them what you want."



Seems pretty straightfoward to me.

[RobMoney$]

Also, I for one, like the fact of encouraging people to go out to their record stores to dig for the goodies instead of just being the guy on ebay who got their bid in on it at the last second.
The Grand Royal days of discovering an unknown Beastie colored vinyl rarity at the record store is one of the pure simple pleasures in life.

[pm0ney]

Whats a record store?

[Kid Presentable]

Will this be updated on mic-to-mic?

[jennyb]

I'll be at Coachella that day... they usually have a record store tent and omg I'm SO there (y) Gotta love a good Beastie Boys scavenger hunt!

...I miss them :(

[FunkyHiFi]

I'm sure glad the Record Store Day people are doing this.

I am not embarrassed to admit, and I am not looking at the past through rose-colored glasses, when I say it so enjoyable in almost a subtly spiritual way, to be inside a music store (and I'm not talking about the music section at a big-box retailer that also sells washing machines and work socks).

I think it's because unlike the internet, a person is LITERALLY surrounded by music, music they can pick up with their hand and then look at the artwork (especially vinyl) and the list of people who created that music. Then there is the fact that the other people there are doing the same as you i.e. they share at least one similar interest, even if their choice of music is different than yours.

I've also discovered new music I ended up buying because of what was playing over their system, or by talking to an employee since with few exceptions, the music store employees I have encountered love music themselves (maybe that's a prerequisite during the hiring process?) and know from a good, to a lot, about music and the people who make it.

Two stores located here that I like:

Soundwaves (http://soundwaves.com/a/) (also sell skate and surf gear)

Cactus Music (http://digital.thinkindie.com/stores.php?playlist_id=20&ref=3) (inside they have a small stage for the many live performances they host)

Haven't been here for more than a decade but liked it when I was there! Vinal Edge Records (http://www.vinaledge.com/). They sell CDs too btw.

[Documad]

Every Saturday is record store day for me. :o

[Brother McDuff]

today is record store day for me. wish me luck!

[mathcart]

today is record store day for me. wish me luck!

OK (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmHeP9Sve48)!
:D

[Brother McDuff]

OK (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmHeP9Sve48)!
:D


haha, thanks for the well wishes. within literally the first minute of entering the record shop i found a Professor Booty 12'' single in the bargain bin for only a buck! great condition too.

NOICE.

[Nicodemus]

There was a Professor Booty 12"? Is there a cover, and what are the other tracks?

Good find!

[Brother McDuff]

Same tracklist, both sides, "1. Professor Booty (4:11)"

no cover sleeve, looks like a white label.

[ScarySquirrel]

Just sent an e-mail to my local record store owner (and participant in Record Store Day) about trying to cop a copy of this 12". I hope I get lucky, man.

I better drop in on his ass and talk to him about it too... Thanks for the heads up!

[facedownfall]

Will this be updated on mic-to-mic?

bawahahahhaa...it was only a matter of time.

[bigfatlove06]

I just plugged in my state and up popped a whole bunch of stores. I'm assuming there only a couple of hundred record stores participating so each store will get a few copies of the 1000 shits.

I'll agree with the $Rob$ and say it's a remix of one of the album cuts. That sounds like the most predictable shit.

I have no guess as to what it will be, but wouldn't it be fun if instead of releasing 1,000 records that were all the same they released 500 with pellas of say 2 new tracks from HSCP1 (or 2), and 500 with instrumentals from 2 new tracks form HSCP1 (or 2)? Then we could all cut, copy, paste, remix, speculate, and have a general donnybrook over which instrumentals went with what vocals and such. They could even get really fun with it and put together snippets of vocals from multiple tracks as well as instrumentals from various tracks (not even necessarily the same tracks allowing us to put together the entire track, but just something to play with and speculate about). As a vinyl only limited release that could generate buzz / speculation without damaging album sales.

[ScarySquirrel]

I contacted my record store owner and he told me he'd try to get a copy... but it's not quite like that.

Apparently record stores submit what they'd like from the list of exclusive releases to the organization which is in charge of this whole ordeal. Then... they really don't know what they're getting. Kind of like a lottery or something. So, they might get a copy... they might not. I'll be there regardless but, man, it'd be nice to know if I'd be walking away with an exclusive white label or not.

Damn, dude.

[RobMoney$]

Just got back from visiting three of my local shops and they all said it shouldn't be a problem getting it.
In fact the one shop said they'd hook me up with whatever they got on Friday night instead of Saturday. :cool:

damn, i checked like four places and only 1 is participating, and that one said they won't even know what they're getting til that day.:mad:

[RobMoney$]

My one place had the entire list of stuff displayed and were taking reservations on albums.
The 2nd place said they had it highlighted on their list, so they were certain they were getting it.
And the last place told me they'd call me on Friday when it arrived.

1000 copies is not that rare.
Hell, the deluxe editions were 1000 copies and last time I checked they still had copies of all of those for sale.

[b i o n i c]

dude, you've GOTTA come back and report the second you cop dat shit!

we'll be sittin here waiting(y)

[RobMoney$]

I'll be happy to let people know what's on there, but I'll tell you right here and now that I don't have a turntable with a usb connection, so I won't be able to rip it to share.

Also, I don't think this thing is going to be as hard to get your hands on a copy as people are making it out to be.

[b-grrrlie]

1000 copies is not that rare.

I still don't think any of them will hit these shores...

[mkvl3]

None of my local shops are going to be carrying this. Somebody here PLEASE get it and rip it for us who are less fortunate.

[faz]

So, this is happening all round the world right? I've trying to coax my friends in the big citys to pop along to the stores listed

[Darko]

Just got my copy.


SIDE A:

Boomin' Granny [Dubstep Remix]

SIDE B:

Boomin' Granny [Rock In Rio Remix]

[cj hood]

Just got my copy.


SIDE A:

Boomin' Granny [Dubstep Remix]

SIDE B:

Boomin' Granny [Rock In Rio Remix]

FAIL!

[Extra Cheese]

FAIL!

i would like to agree but it's not like this was meant to be a beastie official record drop. they, along with all other bands participating, are lending a hand to record day or whatever its called.


still. it's a disappointment.

[jayjacobson16]

Just got my copy.


SIDE A:

Boomin' Granny [Dubstep Remix]

SIDE B:

Boomin' Granny [Rock In Rio Remix]


I thought it wasn't released until the 17th.

[Kid Presentable]

Sounds good.

[jayjacobson16]

Okay, I just got off the phone with my friend who works at a local record store.

Here is the real tracklist from the super special vinyl.

A
1) I Will Always Love You (Beastie Boys Cover)

2) RUN BITCH RUN!

B
1) Hey You (What'cha Gon Do) (Featuring Beck)

2) I Will Always Love You (Beastie Boys Cover) (41 Small Stars Remix)

Ok, so the one shop called me Wednesday night and said they had the rest of the shit I requested, but the Beastie vinyl was a no-go. They had already sold out of it.
Fuckers.

I plan on hitting my other spot EARLY tommorrow.

If this is the real deal, I'm officially done with this band.

[Kid Presentable]

^LOL you know you could never be done Robert.

[RobMoney$]

You know never to take anything I say seriously.
I'm not feeling what I've heard so far of Tadlocks Committee tho.

[Bernard Goetz]

Gah I found out tonight that there're 2 copies of this at the Fanueil Hall Newbury Comics in Boston but they open at 10am, when I'll be at work.
If anyone is in Boston reading this, you know where to go.

[Documad]

If my store only has two copies I will be fucked.

[RobMoney$]

Got 2 copies

Here's a little something for ya. on the first side.

[RobMoney$]

Lee Majors come again on the other side.

Both tunes are top notch remixes.
The Lee Majors mix is with Daft Punk, similar to the DJ Hero mixes.

[Ghouls_Night]

^^^^

As Rob said top notch remixes..

(y)(y)(y):)

[Kid Presentable]

Time to EP up all this stuff and release Tadlock's part 2.2 with the shit we haven't heard yet?

[b i o n i c]

someone post them up online!

[Documad]

I won't be able to get one. :( I'm glad that some of you did!!!!

Two of my stores got no copies and the big store got two or three. I was in line there early but not early enough. I watched other people carry them off. My fault. I didn't take it seriously enough. If I was going to wait around for an hour, I should have been willing to wait around for a few hours.

When it came to the other stuff on offer, i have to say that the whole thing was a large disappointment. There are stores on that list of participants that barely sell any vinyl on a normal day. And they have almost no music selection period. They're full of non-music merchandise like hoodies. Those stores got a few Panera albums but they're theoretically participating. What's the point of that? The big store had more vinyl, but not enough to justify having 300 people line up. I've done better getting limited edition music on a normal Saturday.

[prof_d_boiz]

I was one of the lucky ones who was able to snag a copy.

I ended up visiting 4 stores in about a half hour before I found it though. It was walk in, ask if they had it, and walk out.

When I walked into the final store, I saw it sitting on the counter. Then the guy in front of me picks it up and buys it. I literally screamed out "NOOOOOOOOOO!" Luckily they had one more copy, which I quickly purchased before anyone else could get their hands on it.

I want to leave mine unopened so I will defer to the other folks as far as what is on it. However, it came in a plain white sleeve. The vinyl sleeves each have Beastie Boys written in the Too Many Rappers font. That's it.

Well, hope some other folks were equally successful. It definitely made for an exciting morning!

[RobMoney$]

Yeah, I got to the shop around 8am. First in line.
The next person to show up was the Mirmanee of the Bruce Springsteen fans.
I was forced to listen to how much of a Bruce fan she was, and how great of a person he is, and the shows she's been to, and how she's been following him for over 30 years but has never met him, and how her and her friends use to park in front of his house hoping to catch a glimpse of him, and blah, blah, blah, for the next two hours until the store finally opened.

Had around a dozen or so people in the que by the time they opened the doors. I grabbed everything I wanted and went to the counter where they had the Springsteen album behind the counter. The Manager told me he was keeping it back there because he knew if he put it on the shelf things could get violent. He was right.
I watched a 50something year old guy throw a complete temper tantrum in the middle of a store full of customers and staff because he was 3rd in line and didn't get a copy.
The manager just laughed in the guys face and walked away from him.
Told him "We made no promises to anyone that anything would be available".

Sorry about your damn luck.

They did limit each customer to one copy of each album, which was cool. I grabbed the Springsteen single for Miramanee and she grabbed a copy of the Beasties album for me and we traded outside after we left. So I was able to walk away with two copies.

[Rodie]

Somebody post some pics, even if they're just cell phone pictures...

Please :)

Edit: Nevermind saw some on eBay, people are already asking $100 for them.

[Kid Presentable]

I'm excited just reading about it. :|

[Micodin]

I managed to find 3 copies.

I copped 2 and my friend Doug bought the other.

I won't be able to listen to it until this evening because I gotta go into work.

I can post pics and reviews later.

[Documad]

Rob, did your store open at 9 or 10? My first store opened at 9 and I was there at around 8:15. I was about 60th in line, so I knew all hope was lost. From where I was standing, I could see the Beasties LPs, so at least I knew when they were gone and I didn't have to wait around for my turn in line.

I thought about it last night. I figured that there was a chance I'd have to be in line by 6 or 7 a.m. at the big store to have a chance but I decided it wasn't worth it. If it had been concert tickets, I'd have been there at 2 a.m. :p

[Documad]

1,000 is a lot of copies. I can't imagine people paying $100. :rolleyes:

Plus I'm shallow. I pay more for LPs with good art.

[RobMoney$]

like two sealed copies of "Expansions"...

Temper tantrum guy announced that he was willing to give anyone who managed to get a copy of the Springsteen 10" a $50 gift card to the record store for the album.

[MCScoobyT]

I got mine. The mixes are the same as what we heard off Dj Hero, minus the video game sound fx.

Nice. Good sig by the way (y)

[Mr. Smacktackle]

imo good music got mo' soul unwrapped (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6vHH5Hon6M0) ;)

+ makes me wonder could the B-Boys pull off a funky triangle like that :)

[stoffel79]

i just saw one go on ebay for 9 $
idiot only shipped to us, so again no luck for me

[Thunder D]

Fuck it, paid $35 buy it now on evil bay. The stores in my town only got 2 copies each. Wasnt going to be some douche waiting in line with my dumb lists to get a 45 of this and that at 8am. The extra $29 bucks paid is good piece of mind that Ill have it and not having to waste phone calls and gas running around town. Im sure they will be back under $15 in a week. Good job to anyone that got it for $5.99.

[bigfatlove06]

I called every store that was on the website participating in GA. Only one (122 miles away) said they had it. I left at 5:30 AM with my son. We got there at 8:10 and were first in line. I had called the store owner last night and he said he had 2 copies. There was a sign on the door that said only 1 copy per customer between 11-2. Store opened at 11:00 I got their only 2 copies. On the way home we started calling other stores to see if they had any. Only one (out of 6 or 7) said they had it, but by the time we got there it was sold out.

Another dude showed up around 9:45 and knew the third guy in line. He was giving him cash to pick up the Beastie Boys 12". I feel bad for snatching both copies, but I knew a lot of other fans that couldn't show up at 8 AM (yes I am that dork) that I could send it to.

Now this is fandom.
No buying it off ebay at 5X the original cost.
You put in the work, and the real reward is the journey. (y)

Congrats to you, sir, on your fine display of fandom.

[bigfatlove06]

Thanks man. The coolest thing about it is my 10 year old son thought it was the coolest shit ever. He talked about it non stop until he fell asleep and over the last 2 or 3 years it has become a father son kind of outing. I showed him the copy with a bid on it on ebay for $99.00 and he said "don't you dare sell it"! Nice

[cj hood]

walked into the record store 4 hours after they opened. they were only shipped 3 copies....bought all 3 copies. tells you where i'm from!

i'd be willing to trade a copy for some beastie materials...pm me....

[Micodin]

Yeah, the store I went to only had 3 copies. We snatched them as soon as the door opened. We drove an hour to get there, stood in the rain, and was succesful.

I might be that douche that woke up early, drove, stood in the rain with my list. But I have my 2 copies and they are in mint condition, I paid 6 bucks a piece and I can enjoy the tonight!

Ha ha. That's how it normally is here. No one bought any of the Beastie rereleases or the single. They only got a few at my store and I never had trouble. I think that people in my line were buying them for resale. This record store day event is bullshit I tell you! :p

I'm glad it worked out for you though. I tried to think of stores in my city where there might be no interest in Beasties but they didn't get any Beastie albums.

[Bernard Goetz]

I don't get why y'all are buying up all the copies instead of just getting one.
Not trying to start something, just sincerely wondering.

[stoffel79]

i was thinking the same thing? why do you all need 3 copies or two?

[Documad]

I don't get why y'all are buying up all the copies instead of just getting one.

It costs less than $10. I'm not a hog but if a special record is that cheap, then I'd buy one to play and one to keep safe. I have multiple copies of most Beastie vinyl.

(My store only allowed people to buy one but it didn't matter when there were so many people in line.)

[Bernard Goetz]

Yeah I can see that, one for playing, one for the collection. Duh, now it's clear. Foggy today.

[cj hood]

i was thinking the same thing? why do you all need 3 copies or two?

Cuz I'm the mike d of the fan community....CREAM!!!

[Documad]

I don't do it for most artists -- just for a few that I really collect. Honestly, part of the fun of collecting Beastie stuff is that they do interesting things with their vinyl releases. For most bands, I just buy the one copy that I'm going to listen to. I'm not mentally ill. :p

because you can trade them, or send them to someone special like yourself who got screwed.. PM me and I'll sell my other copy to you for $8.00 plus shipping. Quoted the wrong person, but yall get the idea.

[Documad]

I believe that the Beastie item I purchased the most copies of was probably the Criterion videos collection. I was finding them so cheap and I'd give them to friends but I still have three copies, just in case something happens to the other two I guess. :o

A 10 year old hyped on spending all day looking for vinyl? Does any 10 year old know what a record is? Or did he think he spent the day while daddy looked for a rare Frisbee?

I take it you didn't hang out with your dad much? I still like hardware stores because I spent so much time with my dad in them. I saved some of my dad's tools just because.

I'm guessing that given his dad's collection, he knows what LPs are for.

[brooklyndust]

Not one copy in Toronto, or in Canada.

I went to four record stores and nothing.

One guy said that only the sates got copies

like I said, father son activity. we spent the day together, went somewhere he has never been before, and both had a lot of fun.

[xavito]

I wasn't lucky either...I was suprised they were sold out...!

[jayjacobson16]

I called almost every participating store in dumb ass Arizona and they were either sold out or just didn't have it... Well that sucks.

[cj hood]

i'd trade a copy for one of those bboy pint glasses that came out with the Mix Up....

[Hello_nasty]

None in my Canadian 'metropolis' (of 500,000).

At least it got me out of bed...

[DJ_Skrilla]

Both the record stores I went to said they had a few copies.... Didnt really care that much, thought it was new songs, not the DJ Hero mixes.

[Sir SkratchaLot]

I called the record store yesterday and the dude put it on hold for me because I was the only one who called. So I went out there today and copped that and over 50 soul and rock records from the late 60s to early 70s. The had "On Wine" with Peter Sichel for $1. I also copped a sealed old stock copy of Metallica And Justice for All. Everything was 20% off. It's been a while since I walked out of the record store with a crate of vinyl.

[bigfatlove06]

SERIOUSLY??? Do you mean me ??? (quoted the wrong person:confused:) Because you would be my HERO!!!!


It belongs to documad. I don't know him/her at all, but random acts of kindness are really cool. I didn't know others would have as many problems finding this as I did, so anyone else who contacted me about purchasing it (including friends of many years x) I'm sorry... but I can't go back on my word. XAV - I'll look for another copy at a reasonable price and snatch it up for you (retail + shipping) if you can't find one.

[Documad]

Yay! (I'm a her :p) I have hooked fans up with extra concert tickets over the years, so I hope others won't be too upset. :o

I strongly suspect that most of the copies of this record went to record store employees. It sure doesn't feel like 1,000 copies were out there for sale.

[jayjacobson16]

Both the record stores I went to said they had a few copies.... Didnt really care that much, thought it was new songs, not the DJ Hero mixes.


Hey, at least it wasn't just a couple of boomin' granny remixes.

[Mountain_Cat_1M]

I tried the only record store in the province participating in RSD and they didn't have it. The next closest store is about 2000kms away. And according to a post above, its not much odds because there are none in Canada anyway.

I envy those who got 2+ copies.

I see them on ebay for crazy asking prices...will anyone actually spend $100 on it?? I'd pay someone $25-30 because I wouldn't mind having it for my collection. But $100 is nuts. I wouldn't give someone the satisfaction of making money off it anyway.

[Bernard Goetz]

Was anyone else silently hoping it would be the whole friggin album?

Yes. or at least accapellas.

[jayjacobson16]

I was hoping for anything Hot Sauce Committee related. It technically is though, but I was hoping for something unheard or an unheard version of something we have heard.

[Micodin]

I would also be willing to trade a copy for something Beastie related.

PM me.

[smith7800]

Anybody feel like ripping and upping them?

They have already been posted on the boards. Neither of these remixes are new.

Are the remixes any different at all. I thought they had no scratching in them or something.

[pshabi]

Thanks man. The coolest thing about it is my 10 year old son thought it was the coolest shit ever. He talked about it non stop until he fell asleep and over the last 2 or 3 years it has become a father son kind of outing. I showed him the copy with a bid on it on ebay for $99.00 and he said "don't you dare sell it"! Nice

Well yeah i know about HALSFY but I was wondering if this version of the Lee Majors remix has all the lyrics.

[b-grrrlie]

None of the Beastie Boys' (nor Flaming Lips) made their way to Sweden at least, but there was bunches of John Lennon, Bruce Springsteen and Them Crooked Vultures for offer. Wonder how many thousands of TCV there was as I saw loads of them at each of the stores I visited today....

[bigfatlove06]

Yes it does. as does the version you posted on youtube... again, REALLY?

[Micodin]

I just listened to the record. As most everyone knows...

One side has "Lee Majors Come Again Remix" mixed with Daft Punk's "Da Funk"

The other side has "A Little Something For Ya" mixed with... I dunno.

Nice sounding vinyl. I prob will rip the songs to my computer tonight.

Mixed with DJ Shadow (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_55ZsInQF9Y&feature=related) by any chance?

I plan on watching the Phils game and having a few beverages of my choice tonight.

[MCScoobyT]

Store opened at 11:00 I got their only 2 copies. On the way home we started calling other stores to see if they had any. Only one (out of 6 or 7) said they had it, but by the time we got there it was sold out.
I feel bad for snatching both copies, but I knew a lot of other fans that couldn't show up at 8 AM (yes I am that dork) that I could send it to.
In the voice of Easy-E "woke up quick at about 9, just knowing I had to be in the record store line. Got get the Super Suprize 12' in my hands, before BFL buys them all with his little man."

It belongs to documad. I don't know him/her at all, but random acts of kindness are really cool.

I like you a lot better on this board went your doing cool shizzle like this (as opposed to when your being the Beasties Police or dissing peeps out of the blue and unprovoked). Ya, I guess it's a backhand compliment, but either way I think it's cool you and your son went on the record store journey. God knows I'll be dragging my daughter on all types of Beasties related voyages!

[Laver1969]

Nice reading all of the adventures on finding this sucker. I had it on my calendar but then had some family stuff come up and it totally changed my weekend plans.

First...has anyone put the audio up on youtube or anything? Did I miss a link to this?

Secondly...I'm interested if anyone has an extra copy for sale/trade. I know most of the folks on here probably have everything I have already have. I'm not interested in going the ebay route just yet...

Moyer needs to retire...

Moyer needs to retire...

2nd that. He shoulda been released last year mid season.

[jayjacobson16]

Yes it does. as does the version you posted on youtube... again, REALLY?

I never posted Lee Majors remix on youtube and the one we had before had all kinds of scratches cutting out a lot of lyrics.

[RobMoney$]

Moyer needs to retire...


Moyer: 6 innings, 7 strikeouts, 1 BB, 5 earned runs.

I know he gave up 5 in the first inning, but he settled in just like he always does and wound up giving a solid performance by the time his night was finished.
And most of the hits he gave up in the first were all ground balls that just found a hole through the infield. In other words, just lucky hits.
All I'm saying is, he's better than Kendrick, and that line is actually better than what Hamels has been giving you lately.

They didn't lose tonight because of Moyer. This team is supposed to score more than 5 runs every game.
They lost because Ricky Nolasco shut them down.

[b i o n i c]

a coupla versions are posted on youtube, is it the dj shadow scratch version thats on the record? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_EVVVzVMEM

[DJ_Skrilla]

Went down at about 3pm to get em and actually only 1 store even got em, and someone had bought them all. That DJ Shadow remix is the shit.... I wish I would have scored that. I have the full version from the DJ Hero soundtrack and it has all 3 of those songs I believe.

[silence7]

So I wake up semi-early for a Saturday...

Shop No. 1
Headed to a shop that's about 25 or so miles away, then I remember a local shop that's also listed on the site. I get there right at 10am, and the guy is just unlocking the door and I'm the only one waiting. He tells me that this is the third year in a row that people have come in looking for "Record Store Day" releases. He looks inside a small box behind the counter and finds a few "Record Store Day" sampler CD's, he gives me one. He tries to call the owner and ask him but can't get him, he takes down my name and number just in case, and wishes me luck.

Shop No. 2
These guys are pros, they have an in-store later in the day with the chick from OTEP, flyers everywhere, a freebies table outside for people who buy anything, etc etc, All of the RSD day releases are in the front of the store, I walk in and in 30 seconds spot 2 White Labels and in 5 mins. I'm on my way out. (I promise to not keep BOTH of them for myself, one will likely end up as a contest prize)

Shop No. 3
Walk in to the closet sized shop, look around for like 5 mins looking for anything RSD looking, nothing, ask the kid at the counter, he doesn't know what the hell I'm talking about, says he'll ask the manager, I follow him to the back of the store where he ducks behind the curtain says "Some guy is out here asking about RSD" Manager says "Tell him we sold everything already" I leave.

I'm thinking that shop No. 3 is the type of shop that probably got stuff, but would have told the first person in the door it had already sold out, and e-bay'd it all, and was enjoying a little increase in traffic due to being listed on the site. I bought nothing from them.

OH, and I read people were paying like $8 for this... My shop charged me $19.99 each, but today was 10% off, so I still payed $20 with no tax. The too many Rappers single was $6.99 at the same shop. I think they bumped up the price for today.

[BRATMix]

Avoided going to Amoeba (here in L.A.), and instead went to Freakbeat Records in Sherman Oaks.

In line from 9am (opened at 11). Fifth person in line.

Lucky for me, the first four people didn't care about the Beastie Boys. The store only had one copy! The store caters more to the rock and 60s/classic scene.

http://www.twitpic.com/1gbxpt

Got it.

Even though I ripped the tracks from DJ Hero a while back, it's still cool to own.

[Micodin]

OH, and I read people were paying like $8 for this...

Yeah, I paid $6.95 a piece.

[brooklyndust]

I forgot to mention, although there were no copies of the surprise vinyl, one store was selling the CYH remastered vinyl for $10.

Situation in Europe, especially Germoney, was worst. First, in my hometown (Leipzig, half million people 'big') was not even one store participating on RSD, only a few did in GER. Second, I saw a list of RSD releases planned for Europe/UK, the Beasties were not on it. I've emailed a shop in Berlin some weeks ago, they said there is barely a chance, so today (Monday) I will see.

Like some of you, I checked ebay and saw the $100 offers for the BB 12", other RSD releases are offered for $500. So if the intention of the RSD was to get people be aware of the local indepentend record stores then the event propably failed.

But good to know that the price in the US was around $6. Congrats to all who got one (or more)!

So that was you, you bastard! ;)

I live right around the corner from Freakbeat, and not anticipating much of a line, arrived by bike at 10:50. There were about 30 people in front of me in line, and by the time I got into the store, they told me their one copy was gone. Picked a few other things up, then headed over to Amoeba, where I arrived at noon, and couldn't find the white label there either. Oh well.

[silence7]

True that... Knowing that my shop more than doubled the price of other shops $20 each, really made me feel like they appreciated my support for getting my ass out of bed early and supporting local record stores. Feeling like my local screwed me on a day that was supposed to be all about support kinda puts a damper on the whole event for me. Yeah it's only $20, but knowing that others payed less than $10.... WTF....

[Pootytang]

If anyone has an extra copy of this album, I would love to buy it from you.
I've looked on Ebay and I'm not spending 75 - 100. I'd do 20 though.

This is a small city and I spend my saturdays working at a local "CD" shop that is part of an instrument/home theater store. We don't sell records but can order them . The guy at my store that does all the ordering, what little cd sales we do because cd's are dead, had no clue about record store day. Maybe because we are a cd store?

[Sir SkratchaLot]

Those eBay prices are going to come down. There are a ton on eBay and not many willing to buy at those insane prices. In fact, if you pay those crazy prices you're just encouraging the insanity. Wait a few weeks and the prices will get more reasonable. There are more people buying the record to flip it than there are who bought it to listen to it. The same thing happened last year with a lot of the other record store day records. Just be patient.

After finding out its the same tracks from DJ Hero and only 2 tracks on the LP, I am not in a rush to get this. I'd only want it for my collection. $20-25 is about what I am willing to pay for it. And indeed, they are coming down in price.

I agree to a point. RSD is still a good idea though I'm sure they get a lot of people going in just to pick up limited releases and then sell them for a profit on the bay. My local store was really busy all day so I think it worked for them.

Problem is, the Beasties release was not available in the UK so the only way I'm gonna get a copy is to buy from one of these people.....

[DJ_Skrilla]

The lady at the record store told me she preordered 25 copies and never got any. And in Silence7s case, I think thats pretty fucked up that they charged you 20 bucks. A single should never cost more than 6.99 or so, even if its exclusive. Thats not the point or record store day.... I would go smash that vinyl on the owners face. What a bunch of jerks....(n)

I agree. Does anyone know if the organisers give guidline retail prices to the participating stores?
Perhaps they should have an email address where you can comment on what stores charged over the top prices. They could then contact individual stores and threaten to take them off the 'list'.
RSD should be about raising awareness of local independent stores - it shouldn't just be a ticket for them to make huge profits for a day.

[RobMoney$]

Why not ask the owner or manager why the prices were so high, directly?

If you don't like the answer, don't buy from them anymore. Give your business to someone else.
Encourage your family and friends to do the same.
The idea being that they'll either eventually change their ways or go out of business.
Basic capitalism.

And tell the store management that you'll be doing so, so they have an idea that they have unhappy customers and exactly what they need to change.
