Today is National Record Store Day.
Hundreds of bands/artists have released limited edition vinyl to be released this morning across the country in support of independent record shops.
I have been sat outside Rounder Records since 5.30 this morning. The people in front of me got here at 2am.

Anyone else outside a shop this morning?

    Been queuing in Thomas Street since 11.00 last night hoping to buy the latest Soft Machine album from Furlongs... when I woke up, it seemed to have disappeared

    I heard Walshie sells most of the ones he buys. I think that's what I was told , something about flogging his seven inches

    They only had 2 of the LP at this shop and they went first apparently.
    Luckily they didn't have everything I wanted. Spent 160 quid. The price of singles started at £7.50 and the Quadrophenia Demos LP cost £40.
    I went to the 2010 and 2011 ones. All the singles were under a fiver with the LPs from £10-£20.
    Seems they are hiking the prices right up to squeeze as much out of us as possible.
    I got:
    Noel Gallagher HFB
    Pete Townsend - Quad Demos
    Specials
    The Beat
    Raveonettes
    Ramones
    Arctic Monkeys
    Velvet Underground
    Elbow
    Inspiral Carpets
    Graham Coxon
    Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - Howl Sessions
    Garbage
    White Stripes
    Field Music
    Caitlin Rose
    Hot Chip
    MC5
    Morrissey

    Big swerve this year.

    Record companies seem to have got too much of a hold and are ruining it.
    All of the releases are bloody pricey now
    90% are crap re-issues
    I rarely buy re-issues anyway, so que8ueing up to pay over inflated prices for them wasnt for me.

    Sensible prices
    New material
    I will be there queueing at 4am with 500 quid in my pocket.

    I also noticed from twitter pics, other people have given it a swerve. Queues seem alot shorter this year.
  • shine166shine166
    I nearly did the same, changed my mind 20mins before opening... Good thing about living in the sticks is even leaving it that late we were only 50th in the queue
  • addick1965addick1965

    Ask @c.Walsh'slovechild D, gave him my collection, please take anything that might interest you.
  • addick1965addick1965
    A lot of stuff on e-bay at way over the top prices
  • EastTerraceEastTerrace
    Still gutted about not getting Luna's Rendevous four years ago. Haha

    Anyone up early tomorrow?
  • addick1965addick1965
    A few things of interest but i'm saving my dosh for Desertfest at the end of the month.

    Tried it once but found the shop I visited had reserved all the decent records for their regular visitors. Which I suppose is their prerogative but it's totally put me off bothering since.
  • C.Walsh'sLoveChildC.Walsh'sLoveChild
    Unfortunately not.

    Would like a couple off of the list. Anyone going?

    I'll be going to a new record shop in Barnet, but I doubt it'll have a lot as it's a tiny place. The bloke said he'd be doing 'something' for record store day, but I don't know what that means.
    I've just started buying vinyl again and trying to work out the pricing is an interesting one. Last time I bought an album on vinyl was about 1990 when I suppose I would pay about £6-7. Is that the equivalent of £20-25 today? It seems like quite a lot, but that could be because far fewer are produced now.
    Spending £25 on a record that I've already got on CD and downloaded on Spotify makes absolutely no sense, but that's what I appear to be doing.
