Record Store Day

[WesleyOHSnaps!]

I know it's pretty early for most and if most indie stores are like mine and not opening till 10:30, but maybe someone has braved the stores and picked up the HSC Deluxe already?

Is it worth it?

I got back a little bit ago, I snagged the last one in the store I went to. I've briefly checked it out, it pretty much seems to be exactly what it says. The book is really nice, if that is the part you are most interested in. It's pretty large too, I was thinking it would be about the size of a DVD case but it's more like a text book. The photos are really cool and their's a nice foreword from Yauch (he just talks about the shoot, nothing about his health or the band). The Blu-Ray is nice, the video looks good and the audio mix of the album and remixes sounds really good. I'm no audiophile but it sounded really nice. As far as it being worth it, that's tough to say. I paid 60 plus tax which is more than I wanted to and more than I think it's worth, but I really wanted the Blu-Ray. The book is really nice and I enjoy it more than I thought I would. If you're on the fence though and you can find one I would say go for it because I called 3 stores and only one of them got any. They got 3 and by the time I got their the other two had sold out. Anyway, that's my take.

i was wondering, is the Black Friday deal exactly the same as the package on pre-order thru this website?

It's $64 bucks.

No T-Shirt tho.

I got it. I was in and out. It looked they had 6 copies.
It was about 40 dollars cheaper then on-line and I didn't care about the shirt to be honest.

The photos are awesome and the forward by Yauch was touching and nice to read.

I also enjoy all the photos of Yauch smiling and laughing. It's good to see him enjoying himself.

I don't have a decent enough sound system for the DVD and blue-ray to matter, but I really wanted the book.

It's big too!

Worth it

thanks for the recap W.O.S.

any chance you might like to transcribe that foreword by Mr. Yauch?
