Justin Case Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Official complete list of 2015 RSD releases comes out today. They're having a press conference at 1pm EST. So, who else here like to participate in this shit-show? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RushBoingo Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 I attempted one record store day to get the Caravan/BU2B single, only to not find it at several stores (probably they did ship many copies to Winnipeg). I bought it online later that day, only to find in disappointment that it had a small hole in it, not a normal big hole on most singles, so I could not put it in my dad's jukebox. I am going to participate in the festivities this year as my second favorite band They Might Be Giants are playing a free show in Minneapolis to commemorate the day, and Minneapolis happens to be the place I was already conveniently going to see them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin Case Posted March 11, 2015 Author Share Posted March 11, 2015 RSD is the WORST day to go to a Record Store. Full of ebay sellers. Why do you think I called it a shit-show :smoke: Thing is, I don't want to pay e-bay prices...therefore I deal. I'd never ever consider going if I just wanted to shop leisurely.

Thats one song I'm dying to hear at my show. I love The Else. The whole album. Psyched to see it all...With The Dark...Withered Hope...The Cap'm...Take Out the Trash,,,even Mesopotamians, which gets played all the time. Can't wait!! I had a ticket to the February show but couldn't make it. brooklyn is such a hassle to get to/from. It's frustrating that so much of the NYC music scene has moved out of Manhattan and into that silly other borough. For that reason, I'm being selective with this residency. Around 5 or 6 years ago they did one at Le Poisson Rouge and I saw every one of those. Sorry about the shirt...didn't check the sizes.

Justin Case Posted April 13, 2015 Author Share Posted April 13, 2015 (edited) The big day is coming up this weekend. Gotta get my list nailed down. Last I looked, there was way too much on it so this week's project is to whittle it down to no more than 2/3 of what it is now. Anyone in or around Nashville? Third man always has such cool goings on for RSD. Might have to make the trip down one of these years... RECORD STORE DAY 2015, PART I of III: Introducing the Third Man Recording Service After each completion of a successful Record Store Day in the past, we've said to ourselves, "We'll take it easy next year." But, like clockwork, each year around March, we throw caution to the wind and set out on a mission to make our favorite annual holiday the biggest and best one to date. Record Store Day 2015, taking place on April 18th, will be a glorious time of celebration at Third Man Records. We know not how to "take it easy," and we wouldn't have it any other way. First off, as you may already know, we're finally releasing the vinyl version of The White Stripes' Get Behind Me Satan and we've gussied it up with 3D lenticular images, colored vinyl, a new mastering job direct from the analog tapes, and heck, a download code too. For any regular folks, this would be makings enough for a humdinger of a Record Store Day. But Third Man ain't regular folks. We will also be doing the first-ever standalone vinyl re-release of the earliest recordings by Elvis Presley. The 10" 78rpm facsimile record of "My Happiness" and "That's When Your Heartaches Begin" has elicited what's quite-possibly the most interest and excitement of any of our Record Store Day releases ever. We'd expect nothing less for the King. If THAT weren't enough, we'll also be publicly displaying, for the first time ever, the original 10" disc containing Elvis' above-mentioned recordings. Purchased for $300,000 by Jack White from a Graceland Auction in January, this record will take your breath away. Safe behind bulletproof glass and augmented by an armed guard on duty, folks will get to see, in person, the record that is arguably the most important piece of rock and roll memorabilia in the world. For more on the acquisition of this "holy grail of rock n roll" check out Billboard's March cover story. Ok. That's enough. NO, IT'S NOT! In the spirit of Elvis' first recordings, Third Man Records will open up the Blue Room to lucky fans and give them the opportunity to record themselves in the exact same way Elvis did in his first session at Sun Records in Memphis back in June of 1953. Behold the Third Man Recording Service. One mic, one song, cut directly to a 10" lacquer disc. Cut at 45rpm to be accommodating. George Ingram and Wes Garland (the crack engineers at Nashville Record Productions who cut all of the TMR titles to vinyl) will be manning the 1955 Scully lathe (from King Records in Cincinnati) making sure folks get only the best of quality. This may be your only chance ever to make your own recording on the same stage that's hosted such wonders as the World's Fastest Record, Jerry Lee Lewis, Conan O'Brien, the Raconteurs, Aziz Ansari, Wanda Jackson and countless others. Recordings will be by appointment only. Space is limited, some restrictions apply, and all that usual stuff. We will begin taking appointments Friday at 10am. The sign-up link will be posted here on the Third Man News page (and as an update to this announcement), and slots are limited, so put it in your calendar and don't snooze! Those who sign up should be aware that the single mic can only accommodate about 1-3 people and certainly not a full band. 1 single acoustic instrument (+ vocals) is the preferred configuration (we will have an acoustic guitar on hand), though we will have an amp on hand for those who need to plug in. Any other instruments should be brought by the performer. Performers will have the option of having their recordings posted on our website.

foghorn-leghorn Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 vinyil sales are projected to hit 2 Million this year. The comeback continues. Joke alert: Dear sir, I have a black round thing with a hole in the middle. Is this a record? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
