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?

Morning Walshie, I got here at 7 and it's very cold! I'm trying to get Luna's LP Rendevous if you can get it, it's 23 quid though. Are you going to the game today?0

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 disappeared0
-
I heard Walshie sells most of the ones he buys. I think that's what I was told , something about flogging his seven inches0

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
Morrissey0 -

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.0 -
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 queue0
-
Lots of stuff i wanted but a shortage of cash put they kybosh on that.

Still gutted about not getting Luna's Rendevous four years ago. Haha
Anyone up early tomorrow?0 -
A few things of interest but i'm saving my dosh for Desertfest at the end of the month.0
-
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.0
-
Unfortunately not.
Would like a couple off of the list. Anyone going?0 -
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.1
