Record Store Day 2011 ~ April 16th

I haven't been on in a while but I came to check out what everybody got for RSD 2011. I can't believe this thread just started today. My store here in Des Moines (ZZZ Records) was packed. I showed up about 15 minutes before open and there were at least 100 people in line already. Luckily I got everything I wanted, maybe I like all of the unpopular artists?

Anyway, I picked up the Rhymesayers Picture disc sampler, Paul Simon's new release; "So Beautiful or So What", the Foo Fighters cover album; "Medium Rare", and the re-release of the Greatful Dead's album "The Greatful Dead" in original mono on 180 gram vinyl.

ZZZ also gave out a great gift bag with some posters and stickers plus about a dozen sampler CDs from local and indie labels. I can't wait to listen to everything!

Happy Record Store Day!

I got nearly everything I wanted (which was obviously a lot).  Missed out on Pink Floyd 66/67 and The White Stripes.  Passed on Foo Fighters "Medium Rare" (even though it was on my list).  That will likely be my one regret.  C'est la vie.

^nice scores ($!!)...wanted the Nirvana but didn't stand a chance.  I picked up the Big Star - Third (test pressing) - which is incredible sounding, Sonic Youth - Whore's Moaning, Polvo - Celebrate the New Dark Age (juicy package in lithographed sleeve and signed by the whole band), POS/William Elliot Whitmore split 45, Wild Flag 45, and F*cked Up's David's Town lp.  A good day indeed.

really wanted that Superchunk/Coliseum split too!

Ha!  So funny.

I suppose the Nirvana was hard due to demand, but your Big Star pick is certainly a more limited run.

On an awesome note, I walked into a store on my way to work... just to see what might not have been picked up.  Guess what, my regret was erased as they had one last copy of "Medium Rare."  Suh-weet.

Was surprised when I got to the local record store early and there where 100 people ahead of me. Ended up getting the new Robbie Robertson and Paul Simon on vinyl. Went to another store later in the afternoon and got the Syd Barrett but that's about it. Noticed the Pink Floyd release is selling for 49.00 on Ebay

I'll take Gorillaz, Nickel Creek, and the Tron OST off of your hands, you know, if you wanted... Looks like a lot of vinyl to take care of.
